I would like to share with you some exciting news. After much hard work and months of waiting, I won Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Award again:) I have been so worked up and restless waiting for that phone call. Tears of joy I must say.
I am attending Convention. Track 8. Hope to meet some of you:)
Have a jumping for joy wonderful day!

wow – that’s awesome – it’s only the second year for this too, right? i can’t remember if you said the projects would only be viewable at convention — but since i’m just in this for the discount, i won’t be there! but you have my awe and my respect and my sincerest congratulations!!
Go MJ! I’m so proud of you!
Congrats!!! Tha’ts sooo cool!
So for us new to the stamping world, can someone expound upon what that means?

Absolutely congratulations!!! How fab is THAT???
Congratulations! I love your work. Can’t wait to see your display at convention!
Congratulations!! You so deserve this!! I love your blog and everything you create.. you are truly an inspiration to us!!
MJ – Congratulations! Your work is so beautiful – it is so apparent that you pour your heart into it! Thanks for sharing it with us here. I wish I were going to Convention to see your gorgeous work – hopefully, they will publish it in OnStage or in SS. Congrats again – how well deserved!

Congratulations Mary Jo! Wow!
Oh wow…congratulations!
Oh MJ, I’m SO happy for you, but not in the least bit surprised! You’re so very talented, and I’m thrilled for you! Great job my friend!!
Congrats MJ!! You are so TALENTED!!
Congratulations!! Have fun at convention!
MaryJo I love your work and am sure you worked hard to get this award. You inspired me to enter also. I sat behind you when you received your beautiful award last year at convention. It was nice that you shared with us a peek at the beautiful bracelet. It would have been the award that I would have been most proud to receive as if shows an achievement that only few can have. I have not heard anything but really was not expecting to get the call. Now that I have done it once I will do it again next year and shoot to do better. I am very proud of you and enjoy all the work you submit to your blog. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us. Keep up the good work. God Bless you.
