It's been almost a year since I became part of Cousin Corporation of America's Creative Circle Ambassador program. I am still blown away by the fact I was chosen to be a part of the inaugural ambassadorship. I received the call in July from Liz Heggy at Cousin. The phone call put me in tears, but in a good way. I had to sit down and breathe. After I hung up with her, I just cried and cried. I couldn't believe it. All I could do was praise God for such an opportunity and open door for me and my designs. I felt like I had finally been noticed. And that's when the
excitement set in. I had to sit an entire month with only telling
close friends and family.
NONE of my internet friends and followers until Cousin made the official announcement in August. Talk about agony! At times, I felt like I was about to bounce out of my skin.
Over the course of this year as a Creative Circle Ambassador, I have received what I believe to be somewhere in the ball park of about $2000 if not more in beads and supplies for
FREE! The ambassadors were given a monthly budget of $50 each month to ask for what we need. We received an all expense paid trip to Tampa, Florida to hang out with the wonderful people at Cousin as well as a rather large box of goodies shipped back to us. We have had fun and exciting monthly projects to work on and feedback to give on and promote new projects. But,
NO PRICE whatsoever could be put on the friendship we ambassadors have with each other and with the great peeps at Cousin. We have quickly become family. Each of the ambassador's style compliments the other as do our personalities. We are so widely different, but yet so alike. Our group is such a fun group.

I am excited about the next year of the ambassador program. Keep your eyes open for information about joining in all the fun. No matter where you are in your jewelry design career/hobby, I encourage you to apply anyway. You never know. You might be the very person that would make a great ambassador.
