today is the day. the the 2010 Creating Keepsakes Magazine Dream Team has been announced! check out this list of the new team members:

Cindy Tobey
Deena Wuest
Jen Jockisch
Kim Watson
Laura Vegas
Maggie Holmes
Sara Winnick
Susan Weinroth
Suzy Plantamura
Wendy Sue Anderson

did you see the 5th name on that list? that's me! i'm still in total shock that i got asked to join this amazing team. when i got the email a few months ago, i actually forced myself not to respond too quickly. lol! it took a while for it to sink in. and then it was really hard to keep it a secret. one of the hardest secrets i've had to keep. although that 10th name on the list is one of my best friends. and in some round about way, we figured out each other's secret. without coming out and ever saying what exactly it was. i am so honored to be included with this group of talented designers, and am looking forward to getting to know them all better. which you can do a little bit now, by checking out our little Q&A's HERE. i am also looking forward to working with the amazing people behind creating keepsakes magazine. it's going to be a fun year 🙂

CK sent each of the Dream Team members a welcome gift provided by these wonderful sponsors:

Adornit – Carolee’s Creations, Advantus, American Art Clay Company, American Crafts, Anna Griffin, BasicGrey, Bazzill Basics Paper, Bella Blvd, Bisous, Bo-Bunny Press, Buttons Galore, C.R.

    Congrats!!!! I have been telling you for over a year you are amazing. Here is proof how special you are. What a large amount of products. If I had this much come in my house I do not know what I would do. I bet there was a lot of joy jumping:) I am sure you will make lots of lovely projects with the goodness in the boxes. I have my eye on the Fiskars border/coner punch. I want to see how you use it:) I saw it at Jo’s and wanted it.
    Again, I am very proud of you. I think you are truly blessed.
