Lesley Ainsworth!!

In her own words:

"by day I'm a Nuclear Operations Instructor at a power plant…by night I'm a mad crafter!  Married for 10 years to my biggest fan and best friend…I have one 10 year old daughter who every once in awhile will spend an afternoon crafting with me!  I started making cards in May of 2008 when I was invited to attend a Close To My Heart party (obligation mostly…made my best friend attend a function for something else at my house…so I had to "pay her back" LOL!) and have been addicted to stamping ever since.  I started getting back into Scrapbooking Fall of 2008…and since then I spend a good majority of my "down time" playing with paper, inks and stamps.  I love the creative process!  It helps that my two dearest friends are also scrap-a-holics…so we try and have annual get together's to spend a weekend just hanging out and getting scrappy! We actually started our own blog last February and it's been so much fun!  I was so lucky to get to take one of your Copic classes last November and my Copic addiction was born!"

Her reaction upon hearing from me was pretty cute!  I sent her a cryptic e-mail that said "guess what?" and she replied, "my number is up????".  LOL!!!

My first reaction…OH MY WORD!  I wasn't sure what to say…I almost didn't believe it…but gave it a go and when you told me I was the winner…WOW…WOW…WOW…I've been bouncing around with the goofiest grin on my face!  Oh wow oh wow oh wow.  I'm beyond excited…unbelievably thrilled and shocked and everything!

So thanks to everyone for participating in my blog milestone.  It's been really great to get past the anonymous IP addresses and locations.  Thank you so much for becoming a part of the Facebook community so I could know who was reading the blog.  I truly look forward to getting to know you better in 2010.  Have a fantastic evening!
