Hello Monday -- A Dream Come True ---make sure you read it all.

Pardon me today while I get a wee bit sappy. At least 4 years ago now, I discovered a wonderful online shop called Blue Moon Scrapbooking.  I believe the draw at that time was Basic Grey collections......to add to my collection. LOL

I had a BAD BG addiction at the time and I discovered that Blue Moon always carried their collection packs.  Needless to say, Blue Moon and I became fast friends.

I was amazed at the service they offered.  Free shipping on Domestic orders over $50. NO CODES REQUIRED!  And every single time I placed an order, Scott would phone me to let me know when it had been packed and shipped.  (Usually by the next day)  Before I knew it, my happy mail was on my doorstep. What could be better!?

I signed up for their newsletter and got the inside scoop on when the newest goodies were in the store (and they always get the hottest new collections!)  I'd visit The Blue Moon Scrapbooking Blog and get inspired as Scott and Lisa shared videos of the latest products and ideas for how to use them on my projects.

Well imagine my surprise when I learned that Blue Moon is actually located right in my home town.  It took me two years to look at the return address and realize that they were literally in my back yard!!!  It's been wonderful visiting their warehouse! Quite different from a typical LSS, but better in many ways as the amount of product is staggering.

And then, this last week was serendipitous as Lisa and I got to meet in the store! We came to the conclusion that I'd join the design team!  So, here I am, a member of the Blue Moon DT.  And yes, it's something I've been thinking would be a perfect fit for quite some time.  Thanks so much to Scott and Lisa for inviting me and I am soooo excited to get started!

If you haven't already, check out their store, they have an amazing selection of product and some of the best customer service available on the internet!  They'll be introducing me on their blog Monday morning, so make sure and have a look over there.  Lisa and I will be getting started working on some fun projects later this week!

I did think you might enjoy seeing the box of lovely I brought home from the shop.  Yep, that is the box.  Be still my heart.  I mean really, amazing, product.

And then I had to spread it all out and admire it properly.  

Alphas......I love you.

Yes, there are a lot of Studio Calico goodies, October Afternoon Goodies, MME Goodies and Pink Paislee Goodies.

Ummm.................... raised Chevron Chipboard album by Pink Paislee. HELLO! WITH amazing inserts!!!  Eeeek!

And soon, you'll be seeing me playing with this loveliness on some projects.  

And since I am soooo delighted with my happy day, I've got a little something I'd like to share with one of my lucky readers.  

Leave me a comment letting me know what you discovered about Blue Moon Scrapbooking with a link to that discovery and I'll draw one lucky winner on Wednesday.  I'll leave the comments open until 10PM on Wednesday, September 26, 2012.

Have a beautiful day!
