I'm Published!!



One of my New Year's resolutions was to submit some entries for publication. I was thrilled that one of my three cards that I submitted on my first try was selected!  I remember the day I got the happy mail from Susan Opel, the creative editor at Paper Crafts magazine!  There was an audible WOOHOO to say the least! :-)  What made it even more special was that I used a hand crocheted flower made by my mother.  She's been gone for 3 years now this month and I sure wish she was here to celebrate with me!  She was my biggest card fan!

For details, be sure and pick up a copy of Handmade Cards that is currently on the stands!  I'm on page 66! :-)  AND...there just might be a card from me in another of Paper Crafts special magazines that will feature masculine creations - due out in November!  Just sayin'...
