A Big Secret {I Think it’s ok to Share?}

Quite a while ago I wrote that I got a very exciting e-mail from Better Homes and Gardens.  They had somehow (miraculously) discovered my blog and were interested in my burlap Christmas stockings.

Although we spent a few months e-mailing and filling out forms and contracts, I still didn’t want to get my hopes up too high…  I figured there is always the chance an editor might change her mind about putting something in a magazine.

But, a few weeks ago, I got this in the mail:

I flipped through that thing faster than I have any magazine, and quickly made a discovery…

~my burlap Christmas stockings!!  I was so excited I could hardly stand it ~ and honestly, it still seems so surreal.

I’ve been looking for it on stands here in Canada, but haven’t found it so far.  {Have you?}  But – Christmas stockings aside – I really do like the magazine.  It is FULL of great ideas.  If you need a creativity jumpstart, it’s  an awesome place to start.

{And, no, Better Homes and Gardens didn’t compensate me for saying nice things about them.  I do, however, want to thank them for the opportunity to be in one of their magazines.  I feel beyond honoured.}
