I am still reeling from the shock, so forgive me if I'm slightly incoherent in this post. NO, I'm not pregnant! : ) I know how some of you leap to conclusions! I would be more than slightly incoherent if that were the case, I assure you.
No, the second big phone call of the day (first was from our newly acquired Aunt Megan, asking Natalie to be her flower girl when she marries Michael's only brother, Mark, this June, --much to the munchkin's delight) was from Shannon West, one of my favorite people from SU HQ. Hey, that rhymes. Ok, calm down, Griffin. Spit it out.
I GET TO BE A PRESENTER AT THE STAMPIN' UP MILWAUKEE REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON APRIL 10TH!!!! Wah-HOOOOO!!! I'm so excited! Can you tell, huh, can ya? Can ya?
This has been a dream of mine for a little while now--and a word of warning--be careful what you dream for with Stampin' Up, because you probably will get it! It sounded very cool to be up on stage and on camera in front of hundreds of women IN THEORY but now that I am going to be doing it IN REALITY I am pretty freaked out.
SO anyway--WOW--April is just an insanely cool month for me. It's my fifth anniversary, for one. I get to have Shelli at our team meeting on the 15th (that's us at my first Milwaukee regional), AND go on my first cruise ever on the 24th, AND attend regionals with my extended SU family and downline, AND I get the honor of sharing what I love in front of a big (gulp!) crowd of crazy stamp ladies. Yeah, my feet pretty much aren't touching the ground anymore.
Ok, so, focus here, Lyssa. I need your help. Yes, you. I need you to email me with ideas about what to present. Is there anything you've seen me share that you thought was just super-rific? I don't have a lot of time, so help me out here, ok?! I'll be everlastingly grateful! Send suggestions and Cadbury Creme Eggs here: zwolaneks@att.net
SO EXCITED FOR YOU Lyssa!! You are most deserving! :) Best of luck, I know whatever you come up wtih will be a HIT! Wish I could be there to cheer you on!!!

Lyssa,
Just got to visit your site and see the AWESOME news! All of your work is flawless so any of your recent projects are great! I especially love your traditional (non-MDS) scrapbook pages but your MDS and hybrid pages are also great! So, what I am saying is, you can't go wrong with anything that you choose. Some folks may have seen the techniques, but MANY, MANY, MANY will not have, so don't underestimate the WOW factor of your "older" work. Congratulations to someone SOOOO deserving! Best wishes!

Congratulations Lyssa!! You will be fabulous! I really loved the "customizable cards" you posted in February...such a great idea for workshops. You have lots of things on your blog that would be great onstage. You go girl!!
