It would be fun to meet sometime and create something fun! I'm signing up to follow your blog - would love to have you follow mine as well! Nice to 'meet' you, new friend!!!Patti Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895474215420399958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070755905418914524.post-43347461751145566982013-07-14T09:16:40.668-05:002013-07-14T09:16:40.668-05:001.

Darlin, if you are the nerdy girl in the corner reading SK novels, then I want to be YOUR friend! Sounds like the cool kids to me:)<br />3. Of course we care when our labors of love have been rejected (remember it's NOT us, it's our creations), but what matters is what we do when that happens. Do we give up and pitch a fit? No, we wipe away the tears, and continue growing and doing what we love...even if we wear a false smile for a little bit...we keep going.<br />4. You are courageous, and kind, and HONEST. That makes you one of the few in crafty blogland Tina. One of the select few. Wear THAT badge with honor, because it reflects on who YOU are as a person, not on your creative product. And that makes you miles ahead of any other.

As you build your repertoire of cards and challenge wins, people will take notice when you apply for design teams. When you receive a 'yes' to be on a team, you will have truly earned it.

So are the four you've shared here. I always enjoy your work! I can relate to your frustration. About eight years ago I swore off applying for any more scrapbook "big deals." I finally decided it was more important to me to do things my way rather than trying to imitate others or stay ahead of the current wave of the "next big thing." Then two years ago I decided to try one more time...it yielded a DT position, one I love. I keep thinking about the possibilities of something else with cards as I love card making...but one thing at a time. You need to realize what you are doing is really great! People do follow you and all you do. You've made your mark! Some day, at the right time, with the right company, something more than you can imagine will come your way!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525622291778014411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070755905418914524.post-17803434174436247062013-07-08T16:53:56.336-05:002013-07-08T16:53:56.336-05:00Sweet Tina, you tugged at my heart with your heart...Sweet Tina, you tugged at my heart with your heartfelt post!

So You Know That You Make Beautiful Cards, You Know that You are Popular from your Blog Followers AND MORE Importantly You KNOW you Have COURAGE. That is MORE than some will Realise in a Life Time of Crafting. I LOVE Your Son's Motto too. Keep Trying I know You'll Make It.<br />Love and Blessings,<br />Beverley..
