From this day on, this blog belongs to a published designer. No, no, it is still mine. I am the published designer :-)
Yup, you read that right! Just received my copy of the Fall issue of Stringing magazine.
I had been waiting to get it for a few weeks now...a lot of my designer friends already have theirs.
I came home to this sitting on my doorstep:
I hurried inside, took a picture (well, its an ordinary looking package, but its a very big deal for me!), and opened it to find this:
Proof that earring number 4 is MINE! Mine, mine, mine!
Yeah, am going a bit nuts about this, but am so super excited :-)

I quickly took a picture (well, its an ordinary looking package, but its a very big deal for me!), and opened it to find this:
This picture I did not take. My friend Amy of Copper Diem sent the pic to me last week when she got her copy and she and I both are impatient people and didn't want me to wait for me to get my copy to see the page!
Then, I hurried onto page 91, to find this:
Proof that earring number 4 is MINE! Mine, mine, mine!
Yeah, am going a bit nuts about this, but am so super excited :-)
Here's a bigger picture of my earrings:
Wow...such an old picture, am glad am doing better with pics these days!
