Artisan Hopes Dashed

This card is for you, my friends, club members and blog followers. I wanted to thank you for cheering me on, sending me emails and leaving me comments while I was applying for the Artisan Award Contest. It’s your support and compliments that even gave me the confidence to enter.

Unfortunately, my Artisan Design Team hopes were dashed last week. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little sad and disappointed, BUT and this is a BIG BUT, I have so much to be thankful for. There are so many good things in my life and after eating every single Hershey’s kiss in the house (just kidding) I’m feeling a lot better.

I also want to congratulate those designers that were chosen as finalists. I wish them well on their bid to become an Artisan Design Team Member. I’m also sending a hug to those who entered and weren’t chosen this time. I know now how much heart goes into everyone’s entries and I'm proud of all the beautiful things we created. Sooooo stay tuned to my blog on Friday, July 5th for the start of our ten day Artisan entry blog hop, where we will showcase all of the projects we entered.

    1. One thing I have to say Brenda, is that SU! missed the boat in not choosing you!! Seriously! I'm an avid follower of your blog, and am always in awe of your creative talent. I do hope you apply again next year, and I'm really looking forward to this Friday, and seeing your wonderful creations in the Artisan hop.

    7. So sorry to hear that your Hopes and Dreams got put to rest, as a past contestant I FEEL YOUR PAIN!
      I do wish they changed their policy and sent back your items...wishing and hoping!. At least we get the bonus of the HOP. I couldn't show any of my entries when the program first started. This bunny is looking forward to the HOP!
