First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone for your blogger's empathy on my previous post. Multi-talented author and designer Gabriela Delworth even reached out to offer advice and help and lead me to a new header idea that I am at work on. Thank you also to the fabulous Ravelrer casapinka! I am always warmed by the generosity and camaraderie here in Blogland. It's a special place.
I must also thank Jacqueline deMontravel, Editor of Romantic Homes for asking me to be amongst this year's round-up of Romantics for the Valentine's Day issue.
An eraser
My first thought was, "Me?!" I don't have a hammock that swings besides a rose garden, I don't even like candles. But then I realized that what my home is filled with is humor: warm, fun humor that I share not only with my husband but with our two boys.
It's humor that adds playfulness and charm to the things we do everyday. Like serve meals on silly plates.
Place flowers in jars and buy dish soap because the packaging makes me happy.
It's a lovely issue through and through and I'm not just saying that because I also have a tutorial. Although that fact makes me extra happy, too.
Look for other bloggers in the issue such as sweetie pie Cynthia of Cynthia's Cottage Design and her 10 steps to a French Country kitchen, and Romantics Janet Coon of ShabbyFuFu; artist Jo-Anne Coletti; and my popcorn pal, Sharon of Pansy Cottage & Garden and Launch Your Creativity.

I received my issue in the mail a few days ago and meant to let you know how much I enjoyed your sweet contribution to the issue. I've been hacking and coughing and not much else- still haven't gotten the house back in order from Christmas but the issue was a wonderful respite from the colds of life!

Congratulations on the feature! I love your work. Okay now, I'm off to buy the magazine!
The issue does, indeed, look super fun! and, I've said it a million-bajillion times but...you're so cute!
Congratulations Elyse. You may not have any of those things like the hammock, but you appreciate them and that is romantic. And every time I look at the pink pen holder w/roses and glitter you gave me, I always think how pretty and romantic! This is definitely an honor you deserve!
hugs,
~Marilee

I think the people at Barnes & Noble think I am crazy because I get soo excited when I find my friends in magazines! I buy them all as soon as I see one of you! YOU are very popular lately!! Well Done! I am gald you can do what you love!!! I had to look at 3 stores to find the Artful Blogger. I missed it before Christmas, I am sure there were way too many Christmas mags to look at. I was so glad I snagged the ONLY copy I found. Enjoy your work sweetie, I do!
Hugs, Lisa
That plate is fantastic my little ones would love it, well done on the feature,

I'm a new visitor to your blog. I found you through Artful Blogging. I'm so glad I dropped by. I LOVE your redefinition of "romantic"... especially the plate with eggs and ketchup. Now that's a kind of "romantic" I can relate to. Thank you!
Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage

It is always such JOY to see you in my fav mag AND this time to see our other friends, too. I just kept saying outloud: Oh, I "know" her!
Such fun!
