Finally letting it out.

So I'm going to try and be as calm and as humble as possible as I write this post and tell you that I am sooooo stinkin' excited to finally say that I've been published! I've actually known for months now, but I'm an "I'll believe it when I see it" kind of person and I didn't want to say I was getting published and then have something go wrong and it not happen. But it has - - for I have seen it with my own eyes (which I still cannot believe).

I have (2) cards in the October issue of CARDS magazine. It was only my second time submitting - and they picked up 2 cards. Here's a lil' sneaky-peeky....


....next time you're at Michael's (or does Joann's have these magazines?) flip through there and you'll see me! It's a $20 magazine, or, you can buy the online version for only $4.99.

It gets a little better: I'll have (4) cards in the November issue and (2) cards in the January issue. Pretty exciting - - OK, very exciting. I'm at that stage in my life where I have a degree, I have a career, I have a beautiful family, what goals can/should I have? (Besides to lose like 500 pounds.) So it was nice to get in to submitting for publication - and it happening - I feel really really good; blessed I guess you could say.

I whipped up these cards last night - going with my mood - LOL Rock Star and U R SO COOL - - ha. No stamping. Just some quick and fun cards made with the Prima Rock on Love paper pack.



Have a super day today, Girls.
And thanks for stopping in.
