I'm SOOO Excited!!! I've been published in Somerset Studio Gallery!!!

I found out I have been published in a strange sort of way.  You see this week was terribly busy working 10 1/2 hour days and having to drive 40 min to and from work. So when I got home Tues. and got the mail, I just set a magazine aside thinking it was one of my subscriptions.  I was too tired to enjoy it so I thought I'd save it for later.
Well the week just kept getting busier and busier and the magazine got buried under a pile of mail. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I did not get to that pile of mail until today and when I saw that it was not a magazine I subscribe to I was puzzled. On further inspection I saw a note that began with "Congratulations..."  I about fell over, I could not believe that I was published in this magazine!  It's really kind of crazy as I submitted these boxes I made in 2009 over 15 months ago and I had lost hope that they would be considered for publication.  Then, out of the blue, there it is. Needless to say I am still flying high on excitement!
It's interesting to see how much I have grown in 2 years and it's very nice to have a public record of your artistic growth. : )


This magazine will hit the newsstands and Bookstores on June 1st. 
Have a wonderful week!
