Wow!!!! I can't believe I logged on to my blog this morning and found I had 26 comments on the post I wrote yesterday!! I was flabbergasted! I thought everyone was going to tell me to get over it, but all I heard was beautiful words of encouragement, as I should have expected from this wonderful group of people in blogland!! Thanks so much to everyone who commented, It really meant alot!! I will now get over it and not be sad over lost followers ever again, well, I'll try anyway! :~)
Now on to some exciting news~
My home photos have been featured in the new Somerset Home Magazine!!! Can you believe it?!
I haven't seen it myself and I think there are only 1 or 2 pictures but I'm so happy anyway! I've already had a couple of people comment on it and tell me it looks great. My husband went to 4 different bookstores back home yesterday to find it and every single store was sold out. I guess I'll just have to wait until I get my copy sent to me at the end of August.
I've been wanting to tell everyone about it since I was asked to participate in February, but I wasn't sure that they were going to use my photos until recently, but they did. Anyway, if you are lucky to find a copy, tell me how the photos look, I'm dying to know. Thank you Beth for being interested in my photos and truly honoring me by putting me in your fabulous magazine!!!
Well have a great day everyone, I'm off to do more packing and take care of my little sick pumpkins, I pray I don't catch what ever it is they have!
9 days and counting, yea!!!!!!
Sincerely,
~Melinda

Oh, maybe I'll head out to B&N and look for it here in a bit. Congratulations! Right after I visited here yesterday, I went back to my own blog, where I see if other blogs have updated off my blog roll to go read. I had just lost a follower! Know just what you mean.

Hi Melinda, Congrats on your exciting news.
ReplyDeleteMelinda,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. I hope you have found a copy...and you got in the great new revamped version. Congrats!
I hope your move goes well. I just moved two different clients in the past 2 weeks and have moved many, many, many more, so I do understand very clearly the stress and strain. I think moving is in the top 5 along with death and divorce so heck yeah, it'll get to you!
Take care of yourself- you'll soon be on the other side of it all.

I have been looking for the magazine locally and can't find it but I know Borders carries it. I am on the hunt to find it. How absolutely exciting for you. What an honor. Your photos are lovely. Speaking of lovely, thank you for your lovely thoughts. I know how busy you are so really thank you for stopping by. Good luck with the move and don't worry if we don't hear from you in a while. Family comes first. Have a safe and uneventful move. I am off to Borders to find the magazine.
