Hi friends…. I don't even know where to start to write this post…. Today I'm writing about my awesome stint as a designer for Taylored Expressions. I have been on the TE Design Team for over FOUR years! Wow! It has been four years of fun, creativity, friendship, and general awesomeness. All good things must come to an end, and it is time for me to say farewell to this chapter of my crafting life. When I say I don't know where to start, I really don't know where to start. I have so many good memories. Taylor was the first person to ask me to be on a design team and I will be forever grateful to her for giving me my first big crafting opportunity. Nothing can ever replace that. I still remember exactly where I was when I got her email! And I remember telling all my friends!
I have watched Taylor's company and her family grow, succeed and flourish! It has been a complete joy to be a part of the TE team. The entire TE creative family is amazing, and I have made life-long friendships. For that I am so grateful! We've had good times and great times, and more great times! Lots of memories from CHA and from Stamp Joy. So many great stamp sets to use on so many projects! I got to design some stamp sets along the way, too, and even had a stamp set named after me! Truly a work of heart. All of it! I could write a book right now…
I thought I would just share some photos today and take you on a trip down TE memory lane with me. GINORMOUS thanks to Taylor and Jon for allowing me to be part of something very special. Love you guys! XOXO
Here is the teaching crew from the Stamp Joy event last October. I LOVE these girls.
Here we are at CHA 2014….
This is my last project – posted today on the TE Blog….lovely stamps!
This project is also from this month….
I even had a stamp set named after me! Here's Moka Wanda!
Thanks for taking the time to share these memories with me!
Have a wonderful day everyone! XOXO

I think I discovered TE through your blog. I loved your distinctive style and use of color. And, when I asked a question, you responded immediately with the answer and a blog friendship was born.
Wow, that was a fast four years. So many wonderful creative masterpieces too. I know there is something “Wandaful” around the corner for you as this chapter ends. Thanks for all you beautiful posts.
