I think I need to share a little story about dreams. It was about a year ago when Alli Miles posed the question... "what are your dreams in regards to stamping?" I was so nervous to reply to her and make my dreams known. Somehow verbalizing it to someone helped me focus and strive for what I wanted.My reply:
"I'd love to be published one day, or dare to dream to be on a design team". I must admit at that time those goals seemed WAY OUT THERE. Now looking back, I am so blessed! I am experiencing the joy of publishing, and I have worked with great design teams and currently serve on two....Dirty Dozen and Cornish Heritage Farms.
Where am I going with this? If you are so brave, I want to extend the same opportunity that Alli extended me.
Please leave a comment and let me know..... What are your dreams? I'd love to watch them grow with you!

I guess I will go first...
I sit where you were a year ago. My dream is to be on a DT. I have applied to a couple, no word. I also would like to be published, I have once about 2 years ago with my scrapbooking. It has become almost a full time job to try and accomplish this goal and/or dream. I keep working and try to always keep in mind the 1st priority is that I am doing this because I love doing it. If god is willing possible my year may come soon!
I too would love to be on a design team. In fact, I only realised about a year ago that there was such a thing! Where have I been (blush). My other big dream is to start selling my cards in some local business. I'm hoping to take that plunge soon. Thanks for your tips a while back on this subject Sherie :o) I have twin girls that will be starting Kindergarten this Sept. and hopefully that will give me more time to dedicate to making my dreams a reality. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
Okay Sherrie I am a coward. lol But I still wanted to tell you how much I LOVE this card and that with your incredible talent your dreams were never far away from becoming reality. You are amazing.
{{Sherrie}} YOU are a blessing to me! Wonderful post! Beautiful card! I'll be thinking about my dreams...
I would love to have more people visit my blog so my work and I would be better known in the stamping world. I would also like more people to buy my cards too. It would also be nice to win some contests and get recognition that way as well. Being asked to be on a design team would be nice too.
I am really glad to hear your stamping dreams came true. That gives me hope mine can too.
I want to create a stamp store that is like a home away from home - one of those places where good creative karma just oozes from the walls. I want a place where women can come, hang out, be creative together and build fellowship. I don't know if this dream is very likely. I've started taking steps to get there, but everytime I turn around I hear of another scrap or stamp store closeing.........
I would love to make my stamping and papercrafting into a paying career, rather than a hobby that only nets me enough money to afford a few new tools.
This is sooo beautiful, love the colors and the dew drops!!
Right now I just want to be able to make fabulous cards to send to people and make them smile! and I guess it would be nice to make some money once in a while, instead of spending it all the time!!
your card is absolutely gorgeous, I love the color combo!!
My dream is simple...I would just love to produce beautiful and creative cards. So far I'm doing a lot of collecting, LOL.
very pretty and so fresh, the colors just pop!
I guess my dream is to live long enough and keep good health so I can enjoy grandbabies some day :) We lost 3 babies of our own and were blessed with one wonderful daughter who is graduating High School next month.
My dream is to be able to do stamping/scrapping full time and not have to worry about another income.
