I bet you didn’t know I even had anything to share did you?
Well READ THIS!
Thats how good I am at keeping a secret! LOL! Actually in the stamping world EVERYTHING is a BIG secret. One to the next. I have gotten use to it over the past year.
This news almost made me bust at the seams.
Its hard to not be able to alway’s share my excitement immediately. Well this news had me in a frenzy!
I Lauren Meader, get to work WITH Nichole Heady. OMG! (insert school girl high pitched screech)
Everyone in the stamp world probably has an inkling of how much I LOVE Papertrey. I’m sure you can imagine how excited I am to now be a part of the PTI Design Team. I will be working along side many talented and amazing people.
I am OVER THE MOON, someone pinch me. No wait, DON’T! I don’t want to wake up 😀
I feel like one of the most blessed people in the world. I work with the most amazing people/companies. I am just so thankful for the opportunities that “I” have been given. I’m just a regular ole mom, from Massachusetts, who now lives in a tiny town, most people never heard of.
Nichole first called me back in December-yes she called my house 😀 When I answered, and she introduced herself I believe my first words were “Oh my God! Shut Up! Are you serious? This is THE Nichole Heady!”
Then I apologized, and tried to compose myself. (just like when Lizzie Anne Designs contacted me-I made another excited response)
I swear I can be totally professional, but what would you say if she called you?
Anyway, I have decided cut back on a few of my other responsibilities to make way for my new position, to be able to offer 200% of myself and continue with top quality work, while maintaining 100% FUN!
So keeping coming back, because you will still see my daily posts, with lots of different ideas.
I need all of it to be done for ME! I got into this business, hoping to make it into a career that I enjoy. To put it mildy I LOVE doing this. All of it. The challenges, the deadlines, every little thing. I put everything I have into it, and LOVE every second. I work hard, and will do what it takes to reach my goals. It may sound silly, but other’s who are just as passionate, I know understand what I mean.
I am thankful to all of you who visit me here and offer friendship, caring, inspiration and support.
So THANK YOU!
I won’t disappoint 😀
Now, I will be back later, to share my Saturday Sketch, but I have to get to the hospital to visit me friend.
Hugs to you all.
Thank you again for listening to me.
