After being on a perpetual high for the last few days I have finally calmed down enough to actually think "OMG! What have I got myself into? Am I in way over my head? What if I let these ladies down? What If what I come up with isn't what they want?"
...But I always do this..I always doubt myself and I wonder why? Why do I do this? The answer?.....Well, being on a design team, be it only a guest position is a thing I have always wanted to do but never had the guts to try...I have never thought my work really good enough. Oh yeah, sure, I owned a scrapbooking shop but I had two VERY talented friends to help me through and I always thought their stuff was better than mine anyway....
I do have all my friends telling me I am good at what I do but until recently I have never really believed them....And now this group of very talented, lovely ladies picked me BECAUSE of my work and that they believe that I can do this.... And for once I am starting to believe in myself too.
I didn't do this post so you would all say "Oh Donna, what the hell are you going on about of course you are good enough"....I posted it because I finally think I AM good enough and writing this and baring my soul so to speak helps me to get over this doubt that follows me around like a black cloud. So thank you for sitting through my rant and thank you to all those people that believe in me.....

Donna, Donna, Donna -- do not doubt yourself for a SECOND! You are going to be fantastic - and I'm about to comment to that end on your first challenge card (as a DT member, that is). Rebecca is right -- HAVE FUN! We are truly looking forward to seeing the beautiful things you will add to the team!
