Good morning fantastic friends of mine. Thanks to all of you, I won the guest designer spot for Cosmo Cricket next month!!!!!! Woohoo! I will be receiving my goodie box soon and will be creating projects for the month of November. You can watch the video here where Julie announces the winner. Man my pits were dripping wet.....then I snarfed down a Kit Kat that was supposed to be used for a blog post. :) I couldn't have won without all of you casting your votes for me. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. And this couldn't have happened at a better time. I was feeling quite bummed over the weekend and my creativity was zapped. When you share and share and share......and then someone takes advantage of your ideas and tries to profit from them....it's very disheartening. I didn't want to create a single thing. But then I got the announcement from Cosmo Cricket and I read all of your wonderful comments on their blog post. I was brought to tears by your kindness. I realized that it only took one person to bring me down....but there were dozens and dozens of you out there lifting me up. So I thank you again, I am truly humbled.
Okay, enough of the gushy stuff. I'm getting the girls off to school and then I'm having a canning session with my mom. Can you believe the gardens are still producing? We have oodles of jalapeno peppers so we're trynig our hand at Candied Jalapenos. Stay tuned for a new post yet today.....I'll be featuring some adorably cute Christmas tags and a new item from my Etsy shop.

I'm glad I voted! I can't wait to see the lovely things you create with them. Although I know it hurts having your creativity stolen(literally and then figuratively) you know it was yours and so do they. So don't let them steal your creativity twice, keep creating! Most people are good!

That is horrible someone has done that to you. You always have some of the most creative ideas.
I forgot to tell you...don't worry. Everyone knows you did it first and the other is just a copy cat! LOL
Big Hugs,

Oh, Yay, Yay, Yay for you!!!!! :-) I voted for you for sure. I enjoy your posts for so much more than just the stamping.

Gee...I must be living in a cave. How did I miss the Cosmo Cricket thing? Congratulations! And seriously, thank you for sharing your ideas in blog-ville. Don't let the turkeys get you down! (ooh...that would make the cutest card! I think I'll work on that!)
Congratulations on the Cosmo Cricket guest designer position!!!!! I think your style really fits their new line well -- you'll be hitting it right out of the ballpark.
So happy for you! And I'm so sorry someone is stealing your ideas! That's terrible! We know who the real creative genius is!
While it's flattering to know that we all love and adopt your wonderful ideas, it's sad to think that someone actually steals your ideas. You are so great about sharing projects with us and I know it takes a lot of time even though you make it seem easy. I have gotten so many terrific ideas - things I never would have thought of myself. A POX on that person! Best of all, congrats - Cosmos Cricket get ready to be dazzled!
Congrats Michelle! You are such an inspiration and I adore seeing all of your wonderful projects and posts! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us! Cosmos Cricket is awesome and I can't wait to see the fun things you have for us! *Hugs*
Congrats! Cosmo Cricket and you will make an awesome combination! Your style is so appealing! If this makes you feel better, just remember that copying is the highest form of a compliment! I still think you should come up with a notebook of your sketches...can you fit anything more in your day? Wow, love all that you do!!
WhoooHoooo!!! Congrats to you-you deserve it-no doubt! I was sooo excited for you when I saw on Cosmo's site that you won-I too, waited in anticipation as she drew the name out of the bowl. I follow your blog daily, you are a true inspiration (sorry, someone has taken advantage of that-literally). Here is a quote I try and remember when I'm down, or my creative juices aren't flowing well-I'll pass it on to you?!
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” –Osho
So--- love life (we love you)!
YAY!! Congrats. I can't wait to see what you create! I am sorry that someone was trying to profit from your great ideas. You are so inspiring to me, and I always find myself looking to you for new ideas and fun thoughts. I am sorry that someone took advantage of you....I appreciate your time spent sharing!!
can't wait to see the new CC you get to play with!!
Congratulations! I love your style and Cosmo Cricket's papers so I'm seeing great things ahead. I can't wait to see what you create!
I hope you will do an update post on the candied jalapenos...I just can't even imagine what they must be like so I'm curious to hear about your adventure.
Congratulations! That is soo exciting ! Your candied jalapeños sound dish...you'll need to share that recipe!
I just wanted to tell you a big CONGRATULATIONS on your guest designer spot!! I have to admit that I was dying for that myself, but I don't have nearly the following as you! :) And if it can't be me, I'm thrilled that it will be someone who is awesome and so creative and who continually inspires me!! You will do a great job and I'm looking forward to seeing what you will create.
Hip-Hip-Hooray for Mish!!!!

I also want to thank you for sending me to the Cosmo blog to vote for you...while I was there I saw a great video on how to make a cute little sack from a sheet of patterned paper. I'll be tuning back in during November to see what you come up with. Enjoy the thrill of winning!
It was so in the bag Mish! You inspire me daily. I am sure the other candidates were totally deserving but you really are the cream of the crop!

You inspire me so much with your ideas. Please don't stop! Congratulations on the Cosmo Cricket selection! You will be the best!!
Congratulations, Mish!! You always have such great, fun ideas - and I always enjoy looking at your blog. I particularly loved your candy cane ideas, because I love them, and because I love the colors. Thanks for always being so generous with your ideas and creativity!
Congratulations! A well-deserved honor. Your blog is the first thing I look for each morning, and your celebration of everyday items we all have access to opens my eyes to possibilities around me.
Oh, Michelle, I am so happy you won! I cannot wait to see what visions of beauty you create with your new goodie package! I had the same thing happen here locally with someone from my workshops. It was pretty heartbreaking. You can't let that one person turn you away from doing what you love. You are such an inspiration to so many of us! Hugs, dear friend!
Yahoo Mish! So happy for you! I don't understand people...I'm glad that you won...and so sorry someone took your ideas to profit from them...to much goodness out there for this type of thing!!

Congratulations from the other side of the world....Tasmania,Australia.I am so pleased for you....well done.As for someone copying your ideas have you thought that in some ways its a compliment that your ideas are sooooooo good that someone would copy them?Us crazy crafters have to stick together.No time to let the negatives into out mind when we could be getting some fantastic ideas flowing.
Enjoy your success!
Christine

You inspire so many of us everyday that voting for you is the least we could do for you. Congratulations! I look forward to reading your posts everyday and can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
Cosmo Cricket is lucky to have you as a designer. I truely enjoy your posts and amazing projects. I have to stop at your website everyday, even after working a 12 hour night.You are one talented lady.
Congratulations
Congratulations Mish! I am so happy you won, and can't wait to see your creations for Cosmo Cricket. I check your blog daily and can't wait for updates. I really appreciate what you share with us, and am sorry that someone has taken advantage of what you share with us. Let us know how the candied jalapenos turn out. I have had great success with jalapeno jelly!
Mish, I certainly sent in my vote for you, I'm so excited to see what you do for us. You are certainly an inspiration.
I'm not sure what transpired with someone taking your work as their own, but I'd like to so I can make sure I boycott! Just so unethical!
I agree with the comment that you should create a notebook, or rather a book! You could combine your cards and other paper creative works with other things you love, ie; vintage fabrics, sewing, cooking and canning.
I would definitely buy that one!
So excited for you, Mish! I love your work. I'm also excited that my vote counted. Cosmo Cricket is lucky to have you.
Oh my gosh!!! I am so glad you got it!! I cannot wait to see what you come up with. Congratulations.
I was sad to hear of someone stealing you idea for profit. It takes so much time, energy, and motivation to come up with such wonderful creative ideas, then you turn around and spend more time, energy and motivation to post them on your blog. I am so grateful that you are planning to continue to share with us and inspire us.
Congratulations!! I voted for you, you will be perfect with Cosmo Cricket papers!! Can't wait to see! Sorry about what happened to you, you are so creative and such an inspiration to me!!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I voted for you because I thought you really deserved it. Best of luck!
