Never in a million years did I think I would be in Somerset Life! Many times I've thought of submitting something but at the last minute would back out due to insecurity. When I received an email from Jenny Doh, back in October, I was in utter shock!!!! I was shocked in general but even more shocked because the ATC's that she asked me about were the last thing I ever thought she would want! And an article!!?? I haven't written anything like this since I was in college. I am not only pleased with the way it came out but I am proud of myself to be a part of a magazine, or anything for that matter, that is associated with such talent! 
This picture is the original that I posted about the ATC swap I was in. I have to admit, after I took this picture and sent them off, I never gave them much thought. After reading so many blog posts this past year about having your work published, I could only imagine how it must have felt. Now I know and boy, it feels good!
Now, is it me or does there seem to be an abundance of inspiration in blogland since the new year began? Everywhere I look...It's just wonderful!My first swap for 2009 is this one... 
Dede Warren's Vintage Valentine journal swap. Here is a preview of mine so far...
It's due next week and I'm only about half way done. I'll show more when it's complete.

And look...even more inspiration!

this article is amazing, i loved each little card all so different and charming. i have to agree all together they look like magic.

Congrats on your art and article! It is truly satisfying to be recognized and to have your work affirmed. I LOVE your style and I know I have been at your Etsy store on my browsings. I also have to hit Tinsel Trading when I visit my daughter in NYC once a year. Did you get to the new location this trip? I think the silvery bits you picked out are wonderful and I wish I had seen them this past summer. : ) But they were already starting the move and things were a bit apart. I did get some nice trims in their "flea market" section.
I am part of the Year of Color Blog as well and have started visiting the blogs. I have you bookmarked and I will be back!
Congratulation. That is so awesome. Your work is beautiful and so deserving of a magazine

Just found you and enjoyed seeing your wonderful designs.
I'm fairly new to all this blogging,
and love all the ideas, and nice people.
Have a wonderful week.

PS Keep hearing about the Somerset magazines, but have been unable to find them here. Are they by Subscription only??
I just saw your article in Somerset Life, Congratulations!! I can only imagine how exciting it must be for you.
My hubby and I are going to NYC next month and visiting TTC is at the top of my list.
OK! I'm so behind on blog reading and actually leaving comments. There is not a Barnes & Noble by me and the Michaels by me only stocks the Somerset magazine every so often. So I was there today and saw both of the new Valentine issues. I went to find your article first!!! Yeah for you! I love all you pictures/projects and the article itself. It was a little bit of a treat because I completely forgot that you included a little "shout out" to me....so that was a little exciting to! Congratulations!
