My Dream Come True

I finally got my computer back and the first email that I opened was one that made me scream with excitement! Toodles, Snukie and Mr. Moonie were all in the same room when I yelled and looked at each other totally in shock wondering what mischief I had just discovered them doing. They were quite relieved, but very confused when I told them my reason for screaming and jumping up and down.....

I made the Luxe design team!And the rest of the team is so amazingly talented that I think that I kinda slipped in by fluke. But, fluke or no fluke, I am on cloud 9!

Ever since I discovered Luxe papers a few months ago, I have dreamed of being on their design team. When I saw their call, I filled out my application immediately. I planned to send it in as soon as I uploaded a few pictures for another deadline. That was when my computer bad luck began. I blew out my motherboard and was computerless for 3.5 weeks. During that time, the application was due. What was I to do? I went to the library computer and did my best, including links to my work instead of attachments. I really really hoped that the Luxe ladies would be open-minded and wouldn't just toss my application because I didn't follow directions. And it worked! I can't believe it!

I'll post more tomorrow. I have a few deadlines to complete and a few emails to send. It is absolutely wonderful to be back!
