OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

Did you hear me scream OMG???? I received the most wonderful news on Tuesday evening.....I'm getting published in a real paper magazine!!!!! For anyone who knows anything about my paper crafting, & it was just mentioned in my previous post too, I've had one goal for a few years now, & that was to get published in a hard copy periodical for scrapbooking or paper crafting. I finally DID IT!! I received my email on Tuesday night telling me that I've had not one, but TWO projects selected for a special publication coming out sometime around Feb. 2011 by Northridge Publishing. This is the company that prints some of THE BEST idea magazines out there. If you scrapbook or do any kind of artsy creating, then you've no doubt heard about Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Beads or Simply Handmade magazines. It seems as though they're coming out with a specialty publication just for projects created with the Provocraft Cricut die cutting machine & their cartridges. How cool is that?? I think the magazine will be called "Create: Cricut" & I have to say, I don't think I could create anything now without using my Cricut Expression. It has changed the entire way I create now. I'm so anxious to see what all this magazine will have in it. I love seeing all the cool stuff that others do with this machine, so I can't wait to have an entire book full of nothing but Cricut designs!!

I hate to toot my own horn & then end this post, but I have to get more stuff ready for the 2nd day of our 3rd garage sale & it's Brooke's bedtime, plus it was my dad's 68th birthday today! It's been a busy crazy week for me with a death in the family earlier in the week too. It was so sad & tragic even though I didn't know him well, since he was an older 2nd cousin on my husband's side.

So God Bless & have a great day!
