When Amber (bambi64) told me (DawnL) she'd gotten a PM from Jenn and that she wanted to talk to BOTH of us, I thoughtÂ…"Oh NO! What did we do??!!" A conference call? SureÂ…
So, when Jenn called us and asked if we had any clue as to why, I said, "No, and whatever it was I didn't do it!!!" LOL!
Well...here I am in a place I've only dreamt about. It truly is an honor to have been asked to join the Dirt Pile, and to be stamping with such a talented group of ladies. I'm still stunned, excited and very, very nervous.
I am thankful to God for the teensy bit of talent I have that has only improved by using the daily challenges, the resource section and the tremendous talent found throughout the SCS community. I have grown so much as an artist thanks to this site.
About me? WellÂ… I'm a mom to 5 great kids (Amber being my oldest), "Ouma" (Grandma) to 9 wonderful grandchildren, married to my eternal mate for 35 years.
Some of you know me as LlamaMama. I have 20 llamas that I use for 4H, competition, therapy (my own, sometimes!) but most of the time for nursing homes, and I also spin their fiber to make yarn and knit. And, yes, they spit! Mostly at each other over food, dominance, spaceÂ…or if maybe I'm giving them a shot!
As for stamping, I've been addicted for 6 years now. I've been a designer for several companies and have several handfuls of publications to my credit.
SCS has been such an inspiration for me and I would like to say thank you. I hope as part of the DD team I will help to inspire you as well.
Now, go create something.

It's Whadimiss!!!! Holy cow! You are such a stinker teasing us like that! Hee! Well, I for one am not surprised! I am so happy for you and I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful things! Six months of Whadimiss/Llama Mama is a *good thing*! Even Martha Stewart will be proud!
You stinker! Good for you, you sure had us going! But then that was your plan all along wasn't it! And it looks like you had a partner in crime to boot, I shoulda known! Snort!

wheeeeee! How exciting! I'm so thrilled for you! Your face is one of the ones I remember from my first few days on SCS, and you were one of the first I *met* when I started visiting the stalker threads, so that makes this even more special! So I can say I knew you when.....LOL! You are such a great inspiration (more than just stamping, too!) and I hope that you and Amber have the time of your life together while you're on the DirtPile!

Yeeee-haaaaaaa, Llama Mama!!! I'm so excited to see you in the dirt pile that you so richly deserve, and how much more special can it be than to share that distinction with Amber? I know you'll both do us proud! Congratulations, my friend!
