When one door closes...

...another opens. I've heard this saying for as long as I can remember and it's always SOO true!!! BUZZ AND BLOOM has announced it's impending closure. I LUUUV Buzz and Bloom...the owners, the products, the camaraderie! I had planned on NEVER leaving the team (I was already in my second year). But, the scrapbook division is only a small portion of the business and an illness in the family has forced Div and Mark to focus their energy on the business on a larger scale. I continue to keep them in my prayers and hope that I get to work with them again when they revamp...because I'm CONVINCED that Buzz and Bloom will rise again!

SOO, even though I DO have Kreatorville, I wondered if it would be enough to keep me busy all day, especially when school starts again. I think Kea will be in preschool starting next month and after the cleaning and cooking, I spend my days KREATING! Well, I'll wonder NO MORE because I just found out that I'm a part of the inaugural Gone Scrapbooking Creative Team for the National Examiner.com!!!! The Examiner is a national magazine but the creative team's projects will be published in the online edition. We get to kreate WHATEVER we want once a week for the next year...how SWEET is THAT??? Congrats to the other eight ladies who I'll be working beside:

Tanisha Long
Kathleen Summers
Jackie Anderson
Pat Yahner
Beth Moore
Karen Garbacik
Ashley Hamm
Amanda Sevall

WOO HOO!!! OK, enough celebrating...my first assignment is due soon!!!
