Okay, okay.  So Somerset Memories has been out since the first of October, and I am only now blogging about it.  Even the gals at Mystic Paper were on the ball and gave me a shout out.  Thanks ladies!  🙂  Finally, my publishing debut!

I have the first article in the Oct/Nov issue of Somerset Memories.  It is a Halloween book about Chuck’s mother.  I used great black and white photos of her when she was a young girl and women.  I had such a fun time creating this piece and feel so honored that they chose to feature it.

Daisy wasn’t nearly as impressed with my accomplishment.  Noticed that she’s sitting on a copy of it as well.

Sunday night I attempted to recreate Mike’s groovey beeswax collage.  My friend Grace just turned 50 and I wanted to make a collage from her modeling photo.    I have high hopes but . . . Argggggghhhhhh!  So it’s sorta like when you go to the hair salon.  You can never recreate the look that your stylist did at home.  I had no problem with the beeswax part, but the iron I purchased at Joann’s sucked.  You can see it in the picture.  Curse you little pink Tulip iron!!  Yesterday I went to Mystic Paper and purchased a craft iron.  Hopefully I’ll have much more luck with it.

Finally, look what I found at Half Priced Books!

A whole slew of Somerset Studio and Legacy magazines.  They were only a dollar each!  I was so excited I thought I had hit the jack pot!  I love all of Stampington’s publications.  They just make me so happy.  I could read them for hours and they never get old.

Well I’m going to go eat a piece of Kentucky Pie.  Yummy!  I made one tonight and it just came out of the oven.  Oh yeah, and if you want to see a great movie, rent "Death at a Funeral."   Chucklebutt and I laughed our heads off.
