You just never know....

...where things will lead. Last weekend, March 20th to be exact, yours truly was the recipient of an annual community award here in High Level.

Citizen of the Year!

What the heck does that have to do with scrapbooking? Well, the nomination came on the heels of this event. It was recognition for 3 years of commitment to this wonderful, exciting event, and to the youth of this area.

It was surprising, thrilling, and just felt really awesome.
Thanks to everyone who helped pull this great big crazy idea together!
