Stamping Royalty, A Story and A Giveaway

Hello all my awesome crafty/bloggy friends.
I've been so incredibly happy and excited about this one BIG announcement Paper Crafts Magazine made.  Stamping Royalty 2013 and one of them is ME! WHAAAATTT!!!
I know...I'm still trippin'!
I'm so happy for the ladies I'm sharing the tiara with in 2013.  Some of them I've admired for awhile and some I've just been introduced to their awesomeness.  Either way I have enjoyed getting to know all of them on a more personal level these past couple of days.  Check them all out...They're AWESOME!

Hello/Thinking of You

 Season's Greatings

Love category

...and now for a short craft story.
In my "I can't believe it" state of mind I can't help but look around myself.  I think if I had to refer a movie to my situation it would be Ratatouille (I have four kids...all my references are to Disney movies).   The moral is that a great artist can come from anywhere.  I am totally not saying that I'm an artist nor am I great but just referring to the situation.   You don't have to have a huge craft budget or a huge crafting space to be successful (although I'm sure that would help).  Don't let what you don't have stop you from dreaming and trying.  You just have to try and give it your all.  You never know if you don't try AND if you don't lean from your falls.  I truly adore paper crafting and all the people I've met through it.  I don't look at crafting as a way to make money or to be uber famous.  I just like to do it and it makes me happy.  SO now it's my turn to pass on some happiness.  I'm lucky enough to be in a situation where I can give out some love...In the form of supplies that is.
I got some AWESOME May Arts Ribbon and a Hero Arts stamp for one lucky crafter out there.  Just leave me a little love in the comments.  If you follow my blog and/or twitter let me know too...Those are what you call "brownie point".  Newbie followers are welcome too!  I'll randomly pull a winner on May 10th so you have till then to leave a comment.

    I've been hopping around your blog, looking over your art. I started out at the Mother's Day hop and you were in the hop. I looked at all the work of you ladies, because it's always inspirational to do that. I really like and appreciate your art and your sense oh humor. Congratulations!
