Well, can you BELIEVE IT!!! Don't anybody pinch
me, cause I TOTALLY don't want to wake up!!
I don't know about you, but when I started stamping.......seriously stamping, I set goals for myself, and this was number one on the list, and I FINALLY did it!! Ever since I became a fan club member and saw my first gallery, I KNEW I wanted to be one of the "Dirty Girls"!! When Jenn PM'd me for my phone number, I was in shock, and honestly, my feet haven't touched the ground since.
Here is some info about me...My name is Jessie Rone, I am turning 30(this week) and I live in Macedonia, IL. It is a tiny little villiage in Southern Illinois where I live with my husband of 4yrs, and our dog Sophie. I work part time for the USPS, watch my nephew Jared(4months) full time, and I am a Stampin Up Hobby Demo. Among other things, and in my spare time, I am the Design Team Coordinator for Paper Pretties and a DT member for My Favorite Things. I have also had the pleasure of being a guest designer for some amazing companies. Since the first day that I became involved with SCS, I have been hopelessly addicted. I have grown as a stamper and learned so much from all of YOU talented and inspiring ladies. I have met some wonderful people and formed some amazing friendships. I honestly don't know where I would be without this wonderful community to support me, so thank you all!!
I just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to everyone from Jenn on up who made this possible for me, and to all the fan club members for supporting this wonderful website. I am super excited about the next 6 months, and I hope they go really slow, because I don't want this feeling to end!!
