The Most Exciting News Ever!

Hello everyone! sorry to have not been around too much lately here on the old blog, what with work being truly crazy and about to be more so next week, making Christmas presents, trying to get the tree set up and well the list continues..LOL....I am sure that a lot of you are all in the same boat.

The weekend has arrived and I could not be more pleased as I am off work...so it is giving me a much needed rest and a catch up.

I gather you are all wondering what the very exciting news is, well I can finally share with you all, I have been itching to tell you but have had to keep it under my hat as the saying goes.

A little while ago I was asked by the loveliest, uber talented and super sweet Jennifer McGuire to create some cards for Hero Arts, I jumped at the chance I was so over the moon to be asked to do this that I jumped straight in and created. One of those cards is one that I share with you now...you can see all the details about this card HERE.

Since creating these cards for Hero Arts I was asked to become what they call a Web Artist Designer and I tell you I have been dying to shout this from the roof tops....if you jump over to the Hero Arts Club you can see my profile amongst the most amazing, talented artists that I am honoured to be standing there with.

Being a Web Artist Designer means that from time to time Hero Arts will ask me to create certain projects for them....and I cannot begin to tell you how exciting that is...

I want to thank Jennifer McGuire for all her continual support and friendship and to Hero Arts for allowing me to design for them when the need arises....

I hope that you will join me in this excitement...

I cannot tell you how much it means that you stop by my blog each day and leave me wonderful support, beautiful comments and smiles, you all mean the world to me in more ways then I can express, thank you everyone for always being there.

Hoping you all have the most wonderful night or day wherever you are in the world..

Hugs
