A toast is in order... for such a successful launching of The Crafty Bandit! Cheers! My card today was made with all of you in mind. Cheers to new beginnings ~ new friends ~ new adventures! Not only does that encompass this blog today, but it begins at home with the support of my husband. It includes my children that have adapted to me spending time in my creative space. It spreads to my stamping club group of six who were there from the word go, to my first outside order (Janet, I hope to meet you at one of my classes someday), to the woman I met at a scrapbook getaway in April (hi Deb)...traveling an hour and a half for my first two classes in June. Like wild fire it spreads to my Stampin' Up! community. My fearless leader Mary Fish, and her right arm Kris Kilcoyne and all the talented, generous, and supportive group of pals anyone could ever wish for. My daytime coworkers that see and hear card this and card that all day long...to the few ladies out there that have my cards in their shops; may you know how appreciative I am of your belief in my talent ~ Cheers! And to you Kate ~ there are no words for my gratitude for your love, support, encouragement, and help ~ Cheers!
