change...

   

Wednesday was a life changing day for me...Not only personally but professionally...For the last 5 years I have had the great opportunity and blessing to work at Making Memories...Besides my family it has been my focus, my passion and the joy in my life...I am sad to say that that door has closed for me...
    I have had so many amazing experience's while at MM...I have made so many great friends in the Scrap booking industry, I have gotten to teach amazing women all over the world, and have loved every minute of it...I love scrap booking...It has become who I am...What I do...I will continue to do it! I am in the midst of looking at all my options, and opportunities...Right now I plan to do some teaching...It is what has given me so much joy and I have made so so many great friends doing it...
    I appreciate all the support you my family and friends have given me...I have had so many e-mails, calls and Facebook messages of love and support...So appreciated!
I want to especially thank the Design team at MM for the last 5 years...Especially Jayme who I shared an office with, also shared my joys and sorrows with...Thank you for always being there for me...You are my sister, and I love you...
    This door shutting was unexpected, but I already see widows opening...Change ironically is my word for this  year...So here is to Change...
Thanks for the ride...It was great...Sad to see it end...Excited and look forward to the future...Stay tuned...This girl is a little down...But never out!

Margie,
I'm so sad .. you are an awesome MM ambassador ..I totally loved your Remember Album class at CKU even though I have all boys -we made do and the line was beautiful and the best part was that you taught it so patiently and so professionally ...My heart is broken for you as I could see that you loved what you were doing for them ...their loss for sure .. Please keep us updated on what you're doing next ..would love to have you come teach in TX at our lss .. Big hugs ~ Scrappy Val

A closing door is always a chance at brighter opportunities! You are one of the most creative women I have gotten to know via blog land and I am sure you will find something bigger and better! Blessings to you and your family from Texas!

I know you will be SICK of hearing from me. I was so taken back yesterday to get your email. I just literally was in shock and my heart HURT for you. I have been thinking of you nonstop. I just want you to feel loved and know that it will be okay!!!! It's okay to have a big ole pity party...eat lots of crud- but then PICK yourself up towards bigger and better things.

Your loved and supported!!!

Margie:
Shocked and sad. I love your work and have truly enjoyed taking classes with you at CKUs. Hang in there. As others have said, once the dust settles, maybe there's a silver lining.
Take care.

I know there will be better things for you ahead. We had massive unplanned layoffs this week at my employer, I can related to the tough times. Brighter days are coming!

[Lindsay Teague]

you have been my "face" to MM for many years, Margie! You will have great new opportunities in front of you because of the good work you did for MM! :) No worries!

I'm so sorry Margie. I hate it that so many scrapbooking super stars are facing this. I took two classes from you -- 2004 in Nashville and 2005 in Utah. Great classes. I still have some stuff in my stash that came from those classes.

Keep us up to date on your next venture, please.

I know this can be devastating . . . . I'm losing my job too! Elder Wirthlin said "Put your trust in the Lord. Do your best and leave the rest for Him." That's where we have to put ourselves, in His hands!
I must say, though, that I am so relieved that nothing happened to any of your family members . . . I was worried for you! ♥

[Colleen]

I am SO terribly sad for you. MM will forever be changed because of what you brought to them. And now they will forever be changed due to your absence. I will miss your amazing touches on MM but I'm looking forward to you teaching more. LOVED LOVED LOVED meeting you & taking your classes in PA and helping to get you to & from the LSS. And I look forward to experiencing that even more! Sending you hugs & support.

[Toni]

I'm absolutely shocked and sad to hear this news. You were the best thing ever for MM. It won't be the same without you.

Love you and sending many cyber hugs your way!!!!

I wish you the BEST! You are such a fabulous inspiration and at every event I went to I looked for Margie to take her classes you always made the classes fun and inspiring to go home and keep on scrapping. You will be crowned a new Princess someplace wonderful! Hugs Grace
