Exciting News (For Me Anyhow) !!!!!!

I have been a Guest Designer 13th & 27th August 2010 over on CraftyAnns challenge blog and have really had a great time. Well yesterday Ann emailed me and asked if I would join the team as a full time Design Team member. I of course said yes. Ann kindly said that I didn't have to start this coming challenge that starts tomorrow but I said I was so excited that I wanted to start straight away. So there was no lounging in bed for me this morning as I was too excited to stay. Up I got to start on my card that will be revealed tomorrow. I am like a dog with two tails.
