I am so excited to give a shout out about World Card Making Day because as some of you may remember, World Card Making Day last year, was the day I met my dear friend Nichole Heady for the first time!
She was sent by Paper Crafts magazine to a stamp store in my area to teach a class and I was sooooo disappointed to find out that the class was already full, once I knew that she was coming. I begged and pleaded and prayed a bit too (Hee!) and wouldn't you know it? Someone cancelled and the store owner was able to get me in the class! I can't tell you how elated I was to get to meet this girl that'd been one of my stamping heros for ages! I was ridiculously nervous going to the class (I'd never been to any class there before, much less one where I sat 3 feet away from THE Nichole!). I'm sure I must have looked totally dorky to her that day, but you know what? If it weren't for World Card Making Day (and a little Divine intervention!) I might not have gotten to meet Nichole and would have missed out on a wonderful friendship!
SO.....below are a few details about World Card Making Day and how you can get involved! I hope you'll get in the WCMD spirit and join the action! You just never know what fun and friendships might be in store for you! And stay tuned here at the blog-o.....I think I'll have a give-away or two coming soon in honor of this super fun holiday!
