did you see the 5th name on that list? that's me! i'm still in total shock that i got asked to join this amazing team. when i got the email a few months ago, i actually forced myself not to respond too quickly. lol! it took a while for it to sink in. and then it was really hard to keep it a secret. one of the hardest secrets i've had to keep. although that 10th name on the list is one of my best friends. and in some round about way, we figured out each other's secret. without coming out and ever saying what exactly it was. i am so honored to be included with this group of talented designers, and am looking forward to getting to know them all better. which you can do a little bit now, by checking out our little Q&A's HERE. i am also looking forward to working with the amazing people behind creating keepsakes magazine. it's going to be a fun year :)
