My French Market Bags Were Published

I'm not bragging, just tooting....Tooting my own horn that is!

You never know who's reading your blog.  Well, in December it was the Editor of the Stampington Magazine

"Haute Handbags"

Yep, last December right there in an email..."Hi, I'm the editor of Haute handbags, I saw your French Market bags on your blog and we would like to publish them in our spring issue.   Please let us know if you are interested"....Oh yes, yes, yes, I would be interested!

I did a blog tutorial on these French Market bags HERE in November of 2011 and it is still one of my most viewed posts.  The graphics are from Graphics Fairy.

Of course the editor wanted the bags I pictured on the post, but they had long been sold so, I hung a late night recreating them and then shiped them off to the magazine.....

It was pretty darn fun getting the mail last Friday because there was my preview issue!

Oh look...There's my name!

And they hung my bag on a pink bike....How'd they know I love pink?

Just remember...You never know who's reading...I was just minding my own business blogging away!

I blog because I love it, but all of you reading and encouraging me with your friendship and kind comments .....Makes it incredibly fun!

SO, THANK YOU for listening to me TOOT!  

Happy Creating!
