With all the excitement about my upcoming trip to Paris, I totally forgot that the new Somerset Apprentice was coming out – the one in which I’m actually published! Eeek! I think I may have squealed out loud when this arrived in my mailbox yesterday…
I’ve been in the local newspaper but this took it to a whole new level! I adore Somerset magazines…to be in one is a dream! It felt so strange to open this issue up and see my name and artwork! Crazy!
It was fun writing the article and remembering my process.
This was a simple mixed media collage that I did two years ago! (Here is the original post about it.) When Somerset contacted me about publishing it, I almost fell off my chair. It just goes to show the power of a blog…you never know who might be reading it! So share your passions and gifts with the world!
I am feeling like a very, very blessed girl these days. I am grateful. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement.
Have a wonderful weekend.
