Must I Brag a bit !!!

oh gosh, this is my least favorite thing in the WHOLE world is to talk about myself! so excuse me for a few minutes !

I am PUBLISHED!! . in the Jewelry Affaire Autumn  2011 Issue !  and I am right there pictured in the letter to the Editor! and you all know HOW MUCH I LOVE my picture taken! HAHA

I have never even thought twice about submitting to a magazine, its just not me, I don’t brag about what I do or anything much about my  life , I am very private, and not much talk about myself is indulged !..

I have met some of the most AMAZING women in the past  years of my teaching journey, really its something I cannot explain, these women all get you, they have the same things in common, and they are everywhere !.. They are all the most gracious , amazing artistic ladies … You  know who you are, I travel and teach soldering& Papier mache workshops, and come home with new forever friendships, you realize it’s a small world out there, when they all know everyone!

Last Summer I was teaching in San Diego, and in attendance in my workshop was Beth Livesay  the Managing Editor of Stampington magazines, she was soft spoken, and a  little intimidated to be trying her hand at soldering jewelry. she was scared and it took her a while to relax  and forget  how hot that soldering iron was ! LOL. She did wonderful, and I am excited to announce she will be attending my

Spring 2012 Art Camp on the Oregon coast ! along with another special guest Kim Caldwell , which  Spring camp only has a few spaces left available, so HURRY and go register ! me and Kristen Robinson will be teaching you all fabulous jewelry classes..

so she asked me to submit some art work to their magazines, I shyly said I would.. but I didn’t, got home,  thought what would I submit ! ..and let it go.. well months later and a few reminders  from several that I really needed to do this..

so back  many months ago I did!.. whew I thought got that monkey off my back.. life went on, well you get the letter your in the next issue, that’s VERY exciting for sure… Then time passes and you move on, and the magazine comes in the MAIL, I truly about fell over, the EXCITEMENT of it all.. I finally get it now, why people  do it !  pure enjoyment !

I am proudly in the magazine with several people I know, and some have attended my workshops..

Colleen Pike, Melissa Mercer,Denise Hahn, and Jamie Skolnik,and Riki Schumacher,and  Kristen Robinson   which who are all so incredibly talented! you must see their work !

I also got a sneak peek at the NEWEST Stampington magazine MINGLE, and lets just say, its my NEW FAVORITE Magazine, I cannot wait for you all to see it..

I will be back in a day or so, to show off what's on the inside of the Jewelry Affaire magazine !  ME! haha ..
