70 000 Hits?!...and some *very* cool news...

Holy schlamoly, homeslice! I can't believe that there are people out there that come to visit me on my blog as much as they do. Seriously? When I think that I started out doing this on a whim... . Very cool. Thanks so much to all that take the time to visit me. I really appreciate it. Really.

I had one of the coolest phone calls EVER today at lunch. Carrie Cudney from Stampin' Up! called me on my lunch hour to ask me if I would like to be a presenter at the Québec City Regionals on October 3rd. Ahem...WOULD I??? Does a bear poop in the woods?! Of course I would! I'm excited beyond belief. Aaaaaand incredibly nervous because I have to to the presentation in French. Eeep! LOL! Naw, I kid. I'll be fine. I talked to my upline, Cindy Major this evening and she told me to be myself and all would be well. She has presented before at the Montrèal Regionals a couple of years ago and she said it was a great experience. Breathe, Wiggins, breathe. You'll be fiiiine. LOL!

So here's a card I made last night using the Stampin Addicts sketch from last week. It's a super simple sketch that automatically made me envision this card. It's a great way to use up all the little scraps of ribbon that I can't bear to throw away. Nifty, n'est pas? ;)

Ske-doosh.

To quote my 4yo DS... "HOLY COW!" That is awesome! They are going to LOVE you. Now I'm wishin' I lived in Canada and spoke French. Too bad we didn't have a llama stamp for you to present. ;)

P.S. Congrats on the 70,000 hits. How does it feel to have people stalk you? :)

P.S.S. The card is cool too!
