A few thoughts....

I just wanted to share a few thoughts today.... first, random.org chose 482 from the comments left for the Pink Paislee blog party. Number 482! Wow! And Valerie has already been contacted and is due to receive her prize pack soon. I have no idea what's in it, but I'm sure it involves the new release, which is FABULOUS. So that's very exciting! Congrats to her.

Beautiful layout- beautiful releases! I can't wait for it to hit the stores.

I also wanted to say thank you for all the encouragement regarding Cosmo. As you may have seen, I didn't end up making the team. At first, I admit, I was rather devastated. And then I saw their new release, and I was soooooooo bummed. But then I got to thinking about all the positive things that were said to me, and it made me feel so much better about it all. It's hard to separate the business side of the industry from the pieces of your heart that you put on paper, but I guess Cosmo didn't think I was a perfect fit for their team. Maybe someday. In the meantime, I'll still play with their product. Especially Mr Campy. I'm dyin' for that one. One of those little marshmallows is going to get on a scrapbook layout with Morgan' mug in it SOON, lol.

At first I was leary about putting myself out there, but I am now comforted in knowing that I have a lot of support, and I will be less hesitant to do so in the future. So THANK you. Very much.

That's it. I just wanted to thank you. I've been busy getting CHA work done and just received my August Studio Calico kit to work with.... if you haven't seen the sneaks yet, jet on over there and on the main page, just wait for the slideshow to zip past the current kit and you'll be able to check it out. The August kit is called Confections, and it is really delicious, if I do say so, lol. I have been having a lot of fun with it and I'll have peeks for you tomorrow morning.

I'll be off to CHA on Thursday. I am flying to Chicago via San Francisco. I am really excited to hang out with my sandwich, Nic, and Nik, and will be busy strolling the floors for SC. So if you are there and you see me, say hello! I'll have on my SC t-shirt. And capris. And maybe flip flops. I haven't decided. I still need to pack! I'm dreading tomorrow, because I know I'll want to stay home, lol. That's what happens to me right before I go. I NEED the break from the kids, but then when it comes time to go, I won't want to go anymore, lol. I'll be fine once I get on a plane. My flight leaves at 6:30am on Thursday and the family is dropping me off at the airport as it's only 10 minutes away and we don't want to pay for my car to sit there all weekend.... so wish me luck. When my girls cry it just rips my heart out.

Anyway.... peeks in the morning. Thanks for listening to me ramble! :)
