do I feel bad for tooting my own horn right now? NOPE because I’m way over the top excited and truly honored to be included with such talented designers and with Graphic 45!
Congrats!
yea Sherry!!! Congrats!!!
Congrats, Sherry! I {heart} Graphic 45!! You’ll rock it!
SHERRY~!!
SO stinkin’ excited for you!! You will totally ROCK this manufacturer and I can’t wait!! Congratulations to you!! xo
Congratulations, Sherry! Wonderful news. You rock with Graphic 45. I am so excited for you.
And don’t be discouraged about Ranger U. Keep on applying. They will pick you. Your work rocks!!!
Tim said it’s hard to get in. They always try to get a mix of store owners and store teacher. Then they pick design team members and Ranger enthusiasts. With only a few spots to fill each time, it is just very hard to get in.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and smiles
Congrats Sherry – that is awesome! Hugs, Harriet

girlfriend, I had absolutely NO doubt that you’d make the team. I knew it and totally cracked up when I read your “I think I hit my head on the coffeetable when I fainted” (not because you hit your head, of course but I can literally hear the tone of your voice)
Hell girl, toot away cuz I’m totally excited for you and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with shouting it from the roof tops (I would 🙂
You go girl!
Just apply some shrink plastic onto the pump-knot where you hit the coffee table, apply heat, and when it shrinks it to normal or lesser size, then enjoy the Graphic 45 papers you’ll be receiving and sharing your talent with us! Happy for you, lady! Nelda in TN

So very happy for you. When I saw your name on the list, I happy-danced for you, even though I don’t know you (except through your art via your blog and SCS) and you don’t know me.
Enjoy your gig with Graphic 45. You’re going to rock it.
I think it’s odd that you didn’t get into Ranger U this time. Try again for the next one!
OMG!!!! I’m so excited for you Sherry! 🙂
Lucky you, Graphic has wonderful products.
