Memorable Birthday Gift. My Publication Arrived on July 19th

A few months back I saw a call for artistic submissions to Creating Vintage Charm Magazine. In keeping with my NewYears list of things I would like to accomplish: Create a blog, try to get published, get accepted to a juried craft show…, I took the opportunity to make a submission.
I was overjoyed when I was notified of my acceptance. Then came what seemed like an interminable wait for the magazine to be published. I checked in May and again in June. As the summer solstice approached, I thought well now it is officially summer the issue must be out.. Not yet. Well, about a week ago when I checked, voila! I immediately ordered my copy.
July19th is my birthday. My husband Joe brought in the mail and said, "you have another present". It was my copy of the magazine!!!! This is my first publication and I was so overjoyed to see my artistic creation in print!
See my "Vitorian Bathing Girls Summer Banner" here in the summer 2012 issue of Creating Vintage Charm Magazine.
