I almost made it; I received my complimentary issue, in the mail today. There is a yellow letter that hides the cover, telling you, you are published inside. I hesitated to open it, taking a deep breath, then I saw the side of the magazine and knew. The side was orange. My art work is in the lower row, middle, Mary n' Jesus. My article is in this feature, called "A Diamond In The Rough". Be sure to check out this issue of Somerset Studios for lots of unique ideas for the holiday season. I am sure it will inspire you. Here is a few peeks of my article. Yes, I wrapped a gift with a gently used dryer sheets Recycling can be beautiful~ I was inspired by Becky Shander; she is always coming up with unique ideas!
Thank you to those of you who voted for me :D An email is sent out to people who subscribe, to their newsletter, in case you are wondering.
I asked a few friends and my family to vote for me. Next time I might need more help, I don't have a big family ;D lol
