Exciting News!

I got the email last night and couldn't share right away but this has just been posted on the Let's Scrap website:

I made the design team!!  Woo Hoo!!  If you haven't checked out Let's Scrap and you like to work with sketches, please check it out!!  The sketches are nothing but FABULOUS and there are two chances each week to win prizes....there is the Weekly Sketch challenge and the Design Team challenge as well as a question of the week that lately have been GREAT conversations!!

There is a ton of talent over there so I am very humbled and honored to have been selected.  I just had to share my exciting news.

On the home front....my great plans for my new Ikea stuff came to a grinding halt last night!  John assembled the main unit and the smaller unit and loaded it into position.  While I was starting to put stuff back on shelves I heard a groan and an "Oh no".  My heart sank...this can't be good!  I walk into the living room carefully expecting to see something broken...my first thought was he put a board through the new tv.  As it turned out, when John opened the box to my desk to start assembling that, something didn't look right and it wasn't.  I have all white pieces and a BLACK desk!  Oh no...that's NOT going to work.  I am a matchy-matchy kinda gal.  So I had to improvise because there is NO WAY I was going without a desk for another week when we can make the 2 hour round trip back to IKEA to get the right desk.  So my old table is back and doesn't fit well but its there.  I took before, during and after pictures and will post them next week when I get everything all organized and have my desk set up.
