could this week
be any better?
{said in my best Chandler Bing voice}
If I believed in good luck, I'd buy a lottery ticket. Or head to Vegas.
Cause this week is Just. That. Good.
Today is my first day as Papertrey Ink's Guest Designer for December and January.
And can I just say...
dude. I am a good secret keeper.
Except when it comes to my mom. Cause I told her. And I'm not 100% sure that was allowed... but it's my
mom. Isn't there some sort of Mom-exception-rule to exciting secrets like this?
It went like this.
I was at my very first ever Editorial Board meeting with Paper Crafts.
With all the lovely Paper Crafts people that I love.
And at that moment, I was driving in a mini-van with all those said people. I was dying.
Dying. Because Nichole had sent me the email that morning and I wanted to tell *everyone* when I was supposed to tell *no one.*
Normally, this is not an issue for me. I am a veritable vault with secrets. I was pregnant for 19 weeks before we told our families and 22 weeks before we told our church. This year, I showed up on a Sunday with a new baby and people said "Whose baby is that?" And I said, "Mine!"
Seriously. I'm good with secrets.
But not this time.
So I called her.
And I said... "Soooo... I got a good email this morning. You know... from someone important."
And she said "Who?"
And I said "Someone
important."
And she said "Who?"
And I said "Did I tell you that I'm driving along with all the Paper Crafts girls?"
And she said "
Oh."
But she knows me. So she said... "Was it Nichole?"
And I said "
Maybe."
{That was me... keeping the secret. I know. My slyness is astonishing.}
And
whew. I felt better after that.
And now it's here. And I am beyond happy to be joining the Papertrey team for a time.
Do you know what might make you happy?
Allllll this.
Just click on the graphic to see all my Papertrey picks that are up for grabs.
They're good, people.
Goooood.
I hope you like everything, because I do. They're all my favorites. We're talking stamp sets, cardstock, ribbon, twine, buttons, and ink. And they could all be yours.
This prize package has over a $100 value, so be sure to play along! You have until 7am EST, Friday, December 11th to leave a comment and be eligible to win.

ReplyDeleteAfter 2:00am, and I'm crying reading your Noelle post, especially your comment of 'there is no way that I could have ever done anything to be good enough to be given what I have.' Isn't it great to have a God who loves you that much!! Congratulations on the gift of Noelle, and for your PTI guest designer stint -- I'm looking forward to what you create and your witticisms. And, of course, I'd love to win your little PTI giveaway gifts, too!

ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you - not only are you a talented crafter, but you are an excellent writer... your story was so... me? I'm not a particularly good secret keeper, but I do play the "uh huh" and "maybe" game when there are others around - it made me laugh to read that I wasn't as sly as I thought I was. lol
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard - from a fairly die-hard Papertrey fan.
Shelly, London, Ontario
Found you via Nicole's blog and I'm adding you to my google reader right now. Looking forward to seeing your PTI design team work!!!
