I got a box in the mail this evening, after coming home from work. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was. Jess was here and I was cooking so I told her to open it. When she pulled out three magazines wrapped in plastic I was all, huh?? See, I'd forgotten all about it. I was asked, but not chosen after all. I thought oh well, it was nice to be asked...... Moo. (she said with sadness) Then tonight happened, three magazines arrived, I jumped up and down and hugged Jess. My eyes got teary but I wasn't crying, I have a cold or sinusitis or something going on.
K, maybe I cried a little.
Tell me you would too. Even over something so very small and so very silly.
Yes, that's me! The sweet and simple key fobs...... Something I made out of necessity, to make it easier to carry my house key while walking my dog. Then I found that it worked wonderfully to clasp my keys to a ring on my purse so I never loose them in the abyss. I sent a selection of eight and these are the three they used. (Recognize some fabric Katelyn?)
Jess and I looked through the issue and found several very cute ideas that had me wishing I didn't have desperately hungry people waiting to be fed. A lot of the projects are quick like mine, most are far more clever than mine... seriously.... I could have squeezed in a quick key fob, my MIL needs one... but hungry people are nothin to mess with. The food did take a bit longer,it's hard to cook while happy dancing.
Would you like one? I'm giving one away. So comment if you'd like a chance. Anyone commenting on this post, before next Thursday, Midnight, EST will be entered. I'll announce the winner Friday.
Now happy dance with the dorky girl!
That is not silly at all, that is awesome! Go you! I'd love to win one of these, it looks like a fun magazine. And I think I pretty much *need* those shoes on the front.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Now I know TWO people who have been published!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you. I believe this is only the beginning for you.
I am one proud momma! Doing the happy dance with you and having problems with sinusitis too! I am so happy that your talent is being recognized! This is a big deal and I'm sure the beginning of bigger things in the future. Once people see your wonderful creations you are going to be busy! Now, I need to go to Borders, just in case I don't win. I now have two published family members. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. I know some other people who would love to make these. It's great to be recognised.
