Artful Blogging: Visually Inspiring Online Journals

I had a great weekend! How about you? On Saturday, J came into the apartment grinning, holding our mail. There in his hands was a large envelope I had anxiously been waiting for and it had finally arrived. Yippee! And what was in the large envelope? Somerset Studio's new quarterly magazine, Artful Blogging: Visually Inspiring Online Journals.

Artful Blogging: Visually Inspiring Online Journals is a lush, beautifully laid out magazine featuring thirty-one crafty and creative bloggers and their artwork. I can't tell you how excited I am to not only see my artwork published in the magazine but I feel so lucky to be featured alongside so many super-talented bloggers, several of whose work I have admired even before I started blogging. There's la vie en rose...a sweet life, Posie Gets Cosy, Art Tea Life, Anahata Katkin, Wish Jar Journals... And there are many inspiring bloggers in the magazine who I hadn't met before but who I certainly will be paying visits to in the future. There's Michelle Ward from Green Pepper Press Street Team whose monthly "crusades" inspire others to create. And get this, after emailing one another over the weekend, Michelle and I discovered that we both live in the same town! Really! How fun is that?

Artful Blogging will be on magazine stands on August 1st. And if you are interested in participating in future issues, check out how to on page 139.
