GRAPHIC 45 - I MADE THE DESIGN TEAM... and RAK for YOU!!!

WOOOOO HOOOOO!  So... I knew the announcement would be made this morning, but with around 90% of the announcements that I have seen, the winners are called in advance so that their photos and bios can be posted in the announcement post.  Since I didn't receive a call, I figured that I didn't make the team, but i was excited to see the list today and who made it. 

I woke up early.  (I couldn't sleep)

I opened the Graphic 45 page and, yep, the anouncement was there... front and center. 

I read (kinda) the first part of the post and scrolled down to the list of names.

I froze at the first name, then started scrolling down slowly... one name... then another... I only had one eye open and I scrolled down, one at a time... here is the list from the Graphic 45 Blog...

Domestic Team

Christie Bryant

Tammy Roberts

Laura De La Rosa

Gloria Stengel ... I stopped here because Gloria is a fellow San Diegan and Ever After teacher.

Jade Moore

Tracey Locher... HOLY COW... DOES THAT SAY, "TRACEY LOCHER!?"

Candy Rosenberg (DT Coordinator)

International Team

Jenny Svennson

Jane Tregenza

Trisha Ladouceur

SERIOUSLY... I had to look at that list a few times to be sure that I was REALLY seeing my name... yes, I am a self admitted dork, so it took a few views of the list before I believed it! ;-)  I am so thankful that Graphic 45 has given me this opportunity and I CAN'T WAIT to get to know the other designers!

I don't know if we can show our final projects in public yet, so I am only going to post a few "teaser" shots here on my blog.  We were to create one project and mail it to the G45 corporate office.  I decided to go BIG... in my previous tease to you, I said that my project would make your head, "Spin right round, baby, right round."  I LOVE that  "Dead or Alive" song from the 80's... and the next lyric is... "like a RECORD baby..."  I created a hanging photo gallery out of vinyl records!  I have a lot of comments and stories about this project, but I will wait until I hear from the "G45 Powers that Be" before I talk about the whole project.

Now... time for the RAK!  Since I have NO Graphic 45 papers at the moment (the 10 original assignments and the record photo gallery took up my whole stock), I sending the random winner some of my favorite products. 

To win the RAK, I want you to become a follower of my blog (if you are already a follower, you TOTALLY rock!) and post a comment here of a type of product (general, not specific) that you think I like (ie... something that I use a lot or that you would figure I would use.) 

Comment by April 7th, midnight (PDT) and, sorry, you must be a US resident to win this prize.

WHEW... what a day!  I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Easter and I will see you on the 8th for the RAK announcement!
