CONGRATULATIONS MMM 2008

This is an amazing time right now for 10 talented scrappers who are probably still pinching themselves. Memory Makers magazine announced their new Masters 2008 winners, ending weeks of anticipation for hundreds of people who entered this annual competition. A huge and hearty congratulations goes out to all the winners, who I'm sure are excited beyond belief. They have reason to be too, because they are all in for a fantastic experience.

I remember when I got the "call" this time last year from former MM editor Erin Edelmann. She must have thought I was in some kind of wierd audio loop because I kept saying over and over... "I can't believe it, I can't believe it".

It has been an incredible ride for me, one that has really helped fine tune my scrapping abilities. While my scrappbooking is constantly evolving, the MMM experience has  made me a better, smarter and more efficient scrapper.  Believe me, that efficiency paid off as those deadlines start rolling in. 

This is has also not only been a great opportunity to see my work regulary published (my Mom loves that), but also a wonderful  chance to get to know 9-other fellow Masters who are as passionate about this little hobby as I am.  The Memory Makers magazine editors have been generous in their consideration of my work, and awesome to work with.  Good luck to everyone as you work toward continuing to make a great magazine even greater!

The picture above is my actual MMM entry that the editors were kind enough to return to me at my request. I'm hanging on to it for posterity.
