I’m in a magazine!
Would somebody pinch me?!
You’ll want to run out, right now, and get the special edition of Country Sampler’s Christmas Decorating magazine.
My local supermarket actually has it at the check stand. I pass it every time I go to the store.
Even the cashier was excited for me.
I’ve always wondered how people got to be in a magazine.
In my case, it started with an email from the editor.
She wanted to know if she could use a couple of photos from last year’s Christmas projects… my nautical Christmas tree and the cute Christmas trees on trucks mason jar ornaments.
Of course, I said yes, and have even received compensation for my photos. A first for me!
The process takes several months. And though they made the request, I wouldn’t know if my photos would be included until very close to the time of publication. Talk about anticipation. It even beats waiting for Santa to come.
Thanks for indulging me today and sharing in my happiness!
