we are freaking out a bit around here!


when i heard that stampington was putting together a publication devoted to artistic adventures with children, i knew this was something i would be interested in. when i read that they were asking for submissions to be included, i hoped our pink-a-bella weekend would be a good fit.


today, we received our complimentary copy.


this is the first time i have submitted anything to stampington. ohmygosh. what a great experience it has been. amber demien, the managing editor, was very helpful and so friendly.


i hadn't told the girls that the story was going to be included. i wanted to surprise them. it worked. so. much. fun! we are freaking out a bit.


beatrice and i also have a canvas piece that is included. "owl love you forever", which was tons of fun to create. we are feeling so blessed!

what a happy day!

  9. I was in Fremont at Hastings book store picking up magazines while my husband was in the hospital there...I grabbed this one and flipped through it and squealed when I saw your article! I told my girls "I know this gal!" Well, then I qualified it.."I know her a little through blogging and she's from Nebraska!" Woohoo!! A great big congratulations to you!!
