Inspirations by Julianna Hudgins

Gratitude & Change

Dear Family & Friends, I have made some pretty big changes over the last several weeks and have been waiting for the right time to share them with you. As many of you know I have spent the last 6 years as the International Spokesperson for the Sizzix Brand Products along with maintaining my Independent Business “Julianna Productions”. Recently I have decided to step down from my position as the Sizzix Brand Spokesperson and focus on growing Julianna C Hudgins LLC a Creative Sales Concept & Marketing Company. I will also be focusing on Licensing, Education for Retailers and Product Development for Kids Crafts & Lifestyle products to be featured on QVC.

I have had the most amazing experiences while working with Sizzix. I never dreamed in a million years that I would travel outside of the USA to such Countries as Japan, The United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and our very own Puerto Rico. I have made lifetime friends along this journey. I will never forget you and the happiness that you brought to my heart & soul. I am forever grateful to Lisa Corcoran & Kristen Highberg for letting me represent their Company in the USA & Abroad. It has truly been the journey of a lifetime. To the team at Sizzix, you ROCK! I am so Thankful to have worked with you. Your talent and dedication to your job go way beyond what is required. I will miss you with all of my heart, but will treasure many fond and super funny memories.

In closing, I want to thank the Ellison/Sizzix Family & Fans for this awesome opportunity. I appreciate you beyond words.

Stay tuned for another announcement tomorrow November 29th, 2010 via a Press Release that I will post on my Blog and Facebook page. I am working on creating new & exciting ventures and cannot wait to share them with you as they come alive!

Forever Grateful, Love Jewels

Pat Sloan Creative Talk Radio

I am so honored that Pat Sloan asked me to be a guest on her Radio Talk Show tomorrow afternoon Monday, October 18th at 4:00 p.m. East Coast time. You can listen to the show LIVE by following this link http://toginet.com/shows/creativetalkradio or download it afterwards. The show is also available on ITUNES which is beyond cool!

Pat and I were introduced by the one and only Roseann Kermes, Quilt Goddess and Owner of the Rosebud’s Cottage located in the St. Paul MN area. In addition, Pat and I were both featured on Kathy Peterson’s Adirondack Chair Blog Hop. I was absolutely in awe over her chair that she recreated a quilt wedding pattern on in Bright Reds and Yellows. True talent is all I can say!

Week 5 Kathy Peterson’s Design My Adirondack Blog Hop

A Huge Thank You to Kathy Peterson and Cedar Store for inviting me to be a part of the Design My Adirondack Blog Hop. I had so much FUN designing my chair. My inspiration came from my trip to Puerto Rico this past June where I taught several Sizzix workshops. I met the most amazing women while I was there. They truly filled my heart with Love and Creative Motivation.

I will never forget you and the joy that you brought to me. Te amo mucho!

This Chair is for you!
