Icing on the cake!!

I'm totally giddy with excitement!!!!

Back in April, I posted about Inspiration & where it comes from. Along with that post, I uploaded a layout I did of Ashlyn & her best friend. I loved how the layout turned out, but of course, 2 beautiful girls make for beautiful pictures, which made for a beautiful layout titled Beautiful Soul.

Well...................I got an email today from Memory Makers & they requested this layout for their October 2007 issue. To say I'm excited is putting it rather mildly!! This is my first "put in the mail with all the appropriate forms & get a check back in the mail" type of publication. I won't even say how long I've been trying to get published & honestly didn't think it would ever happen, much less a major publication like Memory Makers. This is not only good news for me, but, hopefully a testament to all those out there trying to get published, that it will happen with time & persistence. I'm hoping this is just the beginning of publications for me, though I honestly do this for my own pleasure. But, if I can get a few things published here & there...............well now, that's just icing on the cake!!
