Lots of Exciting News

Hi! For those friends who celebrate it,
I hope your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were extra special.
My family enjoyed it all, but it really got good
when my Mom started to feel better.


Thank you to all who sent prayers and wishes for her.
It made a miraculous difference! Always.
On Christmas Eve, she was moved out of the hospital and
into a wonderful rehab place near me,
 where she can fully recover and get her strength back...

 ♥


After spending the afternoon with my Mom today,
I picked up my copy of Somerset Studio,
the new January/February 2013 issue that I had
been waiting to read for a week...
and look what I found!

 This is page 17, advertising the January 1st release
of the brand new Art Journaling Magazine...

~and if you look at the peach-tone pages here at the bottom-left,
you'll see my pages & name!
I have to admit that I am super excited
to be published!

I hope you'll pick up a copy after its release on Jan.1st
(or order it directly from
and let me know what you think!

PS. Our friend Mary Freeman from ASplendidAdventure is in it again, too!

OMG Kathy!!!!!! How exciting... sorry, first, so happy to hear your mom is out of the hospital and doing better. That's got to be scary. But again, so excited about you being published!!!! I am so getting an issue!

It is like you described...well, me. I try not to watch or read the news anymore, want everyone to be happy and get along. I have felt almost responsible for the happiness of those I love...until I realized it is an impossible feat, to make others happy. You are so right when you said we can't change people and learning to let things roll off of me... I am really starting to just change my thought process and let go of the mental chatter.
