That sums up how I felt last week about my life! Last week I got the most recent issue of "ARTFUL BLOGGING".....as I am sure you have surmised..this gal (ME, insert MAJAAAAAAAAAr giddiness) has been published! This hick from the sticks! This ever so regular gal actually got to write an article and have several of her photos from here shared in this wonderful magazine. Six whole wonderful delicious pages. I am a little ecstatic...bare with me. So that is my big "cat out of the bag" ......it was sooo hard keeping my flapper tight....but she is out! I hope you will share in my sweet, silly, happy moment. To celebrate it...I want to do a give-away...but I WANT you all to tell me what you want! Give me some ideas gals! PLEASE do not be shy.....lurkers...COME FORTH. This is an equal opportunity give-away! Of course we are not talking store bought....something home made by me. I will give you all a week to comment on what you would like to win. If you have never checked this mag out...go to your nearest Barnes and Noble, Michaels, etc...it is too die for gorgeous.... There are several bloggers in this issue I am sure you are familiar with.... I will leave you with a few new items/images I have added to etsy....maybe it is something you would like to win......:) Thanks for letting me share my sweet blog buddies! XOXO, Cherry

Cherry,
Can you email me? I want to ask you a question..
Thanks,

Hi from sunny California!
Okay girl-I must say, I am soooo incredibly surprised that the majority of your readers want *you* to choose a gift for them, rather than requesting a special item. Do you even realize *what* that means??!! It means that all of your work is so incredibly beautiful, that anything received by you would be the perfect gift. Wow! How many artists can *you* say that about? I was blown away by that, and I hope you were, too! :) So, on being published-WAY TO GO! Now... how will you step up on that stone towards greater abundance and prosperity?? There are many ways...which have you chosen, dear Cherry? Is it time to become the best-selling business woman we all know you can be?? Live the life of glue and paper and financial security all together? I hope so! I hope you have at least contacted your local paper so they can let your community know what a treasure they have lurking right in their own backyard!
Everytime I see your precious creations and magnificent eye, I have *all sorts* of creative ideas for you to prosper! (You can email me if you like). You are on your way! I too, have not heard of the magazine, and will definitely now look for you in it. Congratulations!
Giveaway?? Hmmmm....I would LOVE my very own, shabby, chippy, handmade-by-Cherry custom 'cake' stand of my very own. Luscious!! Keep the momentum up and flowing, and best of luck to you,

Hi Cherry-
I just picked up the magazine at Barnes and Noble today....I am so new to blogging and so busy working, I didn't even know it existed until I read this post the other day.
I'm so glad I did because it's really a beautiful publication and so current for todays "blogging world".
Cherry, your article is wonderful...I enjoyed it so much and your photos are so appealing and well done...they really capture your style.
I'm so glad that I found your blog and your etsy...thank you so much for letting me in on the magazine! You did such a great job:)
