A couple of posts ago, I hinted about being in an upcoming magazine but was too excited/nervous about spilling any beans just in case it didn't appear (ever get like that?). It's the June issue of Romantic Homes. I subscribe and was calculating that the issue might arrive in about a week or two but it came TODAY!!!
My heart is racing!
This is my first published essay. It's titled, De-Stressing by Distressing: A Mom Embraces Cottage Style. I am thrilled about the two-page layout with an illustration! So funny because without ever seeing my sons, the artist Danijela Dobric gave the boys in her drawing light and dark hair, which is true of my boys. I haven't even read my article in print yet! Too excited.
Okay, time to calm down and enjoy the rest of the issue. Well, maybe I'll just stare at pages 76-77 a little longer . . . I hope this post makes sense!

Congrats on being in Romantic Homes, this must be what we call the crown on your work. And guess what? I am going to buy this magazine in the States where I will be next week! You couldn't have planned any better! I cannot buy it over here, I wanted to take a subscription and one on Home Companion, but when the latter stopped I wasn't as eager to get a subscription to the former. Well enough said!! Enjoy!!!
Congrats, that is a fabulous honor!! what a feeling you must have today~
This is really neat! I can't wait to get a copy.
