Birthday MONTH: Day 20

 

The GOOD NEWS...

It's MY Birthday MONTH and I'm living a dream!

My husband thinks I'm having an affair with the mailman as he delivers the best things that cause me to squeal with delight!!!!

I've never been so proud of myself. (Well, besides graduating college, giving birth to the best son in the world and finding the perfect man of my dreams who makes me laugh everyday...you get the picture, right?)

For years I have flipped through the beautiful pages of all of the Stampington & Company  magazines and dreamed of  joining these talented women whom I so admire. I knew that one day when I "grew up", I wanted to be just like them.

I am grown up. I am honored. I am humbled.

I am published in the November/December issue of Belle Armoire.

In every issue, there is a featured article called the Art of Presentation written by Amanda Crabtree. And in this issue, she featured my one of a kind bookmarks wrapped in tea-dyed embroidered hankies, ready for gift giving.

Would someone pinch me please!

This is GOOD NEWS indeed!

Thank you for sharing it with me :)

Oh my gosh! I am sooooo excited!!! It's VERY well deserved I must say! Wow, I can say that I had one of those gorgeous bookmarks before you were discovered:). I am just so excited for you (I'd jump up and down but I'm at work right now and they already think-know-that I am crazy so let's not push the idea any further on that point:). I have always admired your aritistc talent and I am thrilled that you are receiving recognition for that talent in a magazine. I can't wait for it to be released!

Your husband should know being published is way better than an affair with the mailman......and to think I knew you when AND I always cherished my Paris bookmark from you, but now I will have to keep this article close by so when I show people the bookmark they know that a magazine thought it was just as special....you deserve the attention---Jodie.......I think it is just the beginning----Congratulations!!!!!!
