A Year of Blessings

2010 has been very difficult for so many individuals and businesses. And yet, it has also been an incredible year of blessings. Here at SRM, we have had our share of blessings. In January, Jenyfur Pohl entered my life and set SRM on a path down the online community road. It has been a wild ride! :) We put in place our first ever Design Team and we were off and running. Week after week this extraordinarily talented group produced layouts, projects, cards, calendars and the list goes on and on.



Something that I think is so amazing is that if you hang around these talented ladies long enough, their talent starts to rub off on you. That is our goal. We want you to see what they do and then you go off and do it too! I am doing so much more crafting then I have ever done in my life due to the constant inspiration from our Design Team. I love using our products to create. My forte is mostly containers and gifts but I throw in the card and calendar here and there.



Yesterday I went to my office (ususally don't do that on a Saturday) and I played with our new product the TUBE. I was inspired by the TUBES made by Jenyfur (HUGS), Tanis (Birthday filled with coins and bills) and Deana (Valentines). I decided to make up some Valentine Tubes and I must say I love what I've come up with. What a wild and crazy and fun product this is. It can be a gift, a card, an invitation, a party favor or just a little something to give to a friend who needs a pick-me-up.



So this week I'm going to send some of my creations to Jenyfur who wants to feature te TUBE once a week on the SRM Blog. Let's see if I make the cut! But even if I don't I had so much fun making them and copying all the incredible ideas that our team keeps coming up with, I will be fine with that.

I guess the moral of this story is that I'm spending a lot of time counting my blessings and rest is just cream!
