If you don't already know, let me be the first to tell you that we have great news here at Scrapbook Generation. We may never come down from the clouds! Just a few months ago, Allison Davis (my daughter, Stacey's sister, and Karin's niece) was chosen as one of Creating Keepsakes 25 Hall of Famers for 2007.

This week, Allison has been chosen as one of the 10 Creating Keepsakes Scrapbooker of the Year finalists! She'll have an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas in September, and the winner is announced there. Along with the title comes a cash prize of $10,000! The whole thing doesn't seem real to me yet! I'm hoping to get to tag along as her "official photographer!"

We are so lucky to have her as a designer and teacher at Scrapbook Generation. If you want to read her account of getting the call, go to her blog (link on this page is Scrapbooking Ali) or go to creatingkeepsakes.com.
