It is always a thrill to have your work chosen for publication in ANY Stampington magazine! I even get really excited if my work is in any of their ads. : ) I just received my copy of the February/March 2012 issue of The Stampers' Sampler in the mail. I have tried to "curb my enthusiasm". Joe thought someone had died the first time I was published. I couldn't speak, I just kept crying and pointing to the magazine. Another time I was at Barnes and Noble when I saw the magazine and kept showing complete strangers my work. But, as I said before, it is always a thrill and a privilege to have the folks as Stampington like my work enough to put it in a magazine. They were nice enough to show a box I made using the fabulous Dina Wakley grunge style stamps. I made the box to hold other projects that I had sent them. They gave me a two page spread in the Artists-On-Call section demonstrating the use of Kristen Robinson's lovely stamp line called "Love Lines". So I am doing a happy dance today!
Renee Zarate's Bolton House is still in New England but Renee herself has moved on to South Carolina. The days are a little different now, no garden to take care of means more studio time. Dealing with snow and blizzards will be a thing of the past but there will be new challenges. Challenges like...how will we ever carry these two chairs and this huge umbrella down to the beach? Stay tuned.
So happy for you, keep dancing! It is so exciting and mind altering to see your work in print! Congrats to you, nicely done! I loved the box you made, too.
