So, in less than an hour it will be 2009. Wow. Another year, full of possibilities and promise. Not sure when I was this happy to see another year come, but yet still sad.
2008 had its problems (economy, DH's hospitalization), but yet it had its high points: my first job in nearly 10 years, and being selected for Remember When's First Design Team.
It's the latter that has me kicking and screaming. As many know, I only tried out because Frank insisted everyone do so. I never thought I would make it. Even now, when the dies for Dec & Jan are on my desk, I still cannot believe that my designs are good enough to represent SRW. Frank's faith in my ability to not embarrass Sherri or himself has been a great boon to my self-esteem. I strive to do my best, hopefully showing off the dies in a way no one else has thought of.
And now, our terms are days from ending. We will no longer be privy to the secrets - if only for a few days- and the logos will be removed from our siggies, and I will no longer have an excuse to go to SRW every month to make sure my projects are safely delivered.
Soon, a new team will proudly represent SWR, showcasing creations that inspire. I wish them the best.
Yes, I will try out again, cognizant that others need their chance.
However, I go into 2009 kicking and screaming because I am really going to miss the monthly challenges! I don't want to give up my spot, even if I am not sure I deserve it, but I really loved it.
