My Secret Surprise

A few months ago I got an email from one of the editors of Artful Blogging Magazine saying that they wanted to use one of my pictures in their next issue. They were doing an article on Tiffany's "Show Me Your Form" challenge and they wanted to use one of the photos I used for that challenge.

Last week I got my copy in the mail and I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this.

Isabel was over and we quickly flipped through the magazine looking for this.



Turned the page to find this...my picture.




I can't tell you how excited I am to have my picture in a magazine. I know it's not a whole article or anything, but I don't care. I know I'm probably making a big deal over something little, but I still don't care. I'm stoked! It doesn't take much to make this gal happy.

To make it even better, also included in this issue is one of my favorite bloggers, Heather from Pretty Petals. Her article features a picture of the "junque in my trunk" swap gifty she gave me. If you want to see what was inside you can see it here.

So, contratulations to Tiffany and Heather and all the other artful bloggers in this issue. It's a good one full of fabulous eye candy.

On my next post I will tell you about the Portland Antique Expo I went to last Friday and show you the fun things I found. Have an awesome Tuesday!

I know how excited I would be! I'm so happy for all the bloggers who get written up :) And..what would those mags do without the bloggers these days? I don't pick up mags anymore because they pale in comparison to what we are doing...in my opinion :) I read that Mary Englebreit lost her publisher and will go out of print unless another one is found. I shouldn't think any company wouldn't want her.

I'm scrolling backwords thru your lovely blog. I can spend HOURS in blogland. I discovered your blog on another blog. As usual I don't know which one, but I love your style. I checked out the pics of your pretty home on your sidebar link. My mom was born in Amity OR but married a Cdn. We used to go to OR each summer; it's my favourite state. Where is your antique store in case I ever get to OR again? That is exciting your item was in a magazine!
