Attention!!!!! ALL scrappers who like to win things...

... this post is for you!  DCWV has teamed up with Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine with the intent of awarding 3 prize packages.  Here is what the DCWV blog has to say...

Canadian Scrapbooker Website

In 2005, two enthusiastic ladies in Canada (Jackie Ludlage and Katharina

Doyle) created Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. Their quarterly "book" is chock-a-block with inspirational projects, stories, and technique-rich step by steps. Plus, it is gorgeous! Their loyal fan-base looks forward to each issue with avid anticipation. It is a magazine that readers have come to collect and cherish for years. 

Throughout the past 8 years, Jackie and Katharina have created the perfect balance between being a mom and loving the work they do, working from their home-based offices. They are sisters in the truest sense, with family and friends-old and new-cheering them on. These two ladies had a dream, and together with a strong team, they made it happen, while creating an exciting new world for themselves along the way!

Another chance to win:0) Pop on over to Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's facebook page and comment on this week's "Why Not Win Wednesday" post- just scroll down until you see the picture that matches this prize from Spellbinders!

And I have a few other fun things to tell you about.  Have you ever wanted to be a part of a design team?  Magenta is looking to add to their team and if you would like to apply, you can find the details on their blog.

Also, I have a great new blog to tell you about.  The stamp-gifted Cathie Allan has begun to blog!!!  I have her listed in the blog list to the side, or you can just follow this link to tour some wonderful stamp goodness and 'Creative Whispers'.

On a personal note, I am nearly finished with this school year.  I have to say that I was so nervous about stepping back into work with the school system.  It has been years since I have had to apply those skills and was so worried that I would have forgotten everything I knew, or no longer have the patience required.  I went through my performance appraisal today, and it seems that they like me!!!!  Whew!!!  What a sense of relief.  While I don't have a position lined up for the fall yet (my contract this year was tied to the needs of several specific students), I am so relieved to hear that they would take me back in a heartbeat.  Please cross your fingers for me that there is another opportunity in the fall...
