Lots of fun news for me in the past couple of days and I can’t wait to share it with you all!
Have you seen this magazine yet? I love it – getting my print subscription every month makes for a great mail day!
For a long time, friends have been encouraging (aka badgering and harassing) me to submit some work to publications. I actually did submit one piece years ago but that was it. When I started this blog I thought that maybe I should finally heed their advice. And the first time I tried I had a piece accepted!
The exciting news? It’s finally in print and….. it’s a double pager!!!! And I will just say that seeing it in print and photographed professionally made it worth the small fortune it cost me to ship it in! 🙂
So, call The Paperie, they have a bunch coming in, reserve a copy and then check out page 118!
Second, many of you will remember that last year The Paperie took me to Houston for 4 days worth of classes and workshops from the industries best – Tim Holtz, Jennifer McGuire, Shari Carroll, Mitra Friant, Cheryl Mezzetti, Candy Rosenberg, and so many more! I was like a kid in the world’s largest candy store – it was kind of ridiculous actually. 🙂
This year, I am lucky enough that they have asked me to go to the same Education and Trade Show with them but in Orlando this time. And although I don’t know yet what classes I will be taking, the line-up of instructors is amazing – Ranger – Tim Holtz, Dyan Reaveley, The Crafter’s Workshop – Jamie Echt, Creative Imaginations – Cheryl Mezzetti, Basically Bare – Angela Pruitt, Lawn Fawn – Kelly Marie Alvarez, Impression Obsession – Mitra Friant, and so many more, like Hero Arts, Queen & Co, 7 Gypsies, and My Favourite Things!
You all know what this means right? Lots and lots of fabulous inspiration and amazing classes when I return! Who wants another weekend full of awesomeness like last year? 🙂
Yeah, me too!
So there’s all my news, hope you’re excited for it all too!

But I always love it when you do new classes, you come back sooo excited and soooo full of new ideas! Which means that I can’t wait for the new classes! (that’s a lot of exclamation points)

Can you hear me cheering all the way from the sunny south? I read your post today on my phone….let’s just say the crowd at the beach sure stopped and looked – I kinda did a circle dance while celebrating for you. 🙂 Very well deserved and I’d say keep celebrating… as there will be many more publications in your future! 🙂
