Artful Blogging Feature!

What a week! I have been so touched by all the kind comments and messages I've received after being in the "Saturday Spotlight" over at Must Love Junk. Thank you, again, Susan and Kris!
Bloggers and blog readers are just the best, and I'm so grateful for your kindness to me! As I said in the post, medicine to my soul.




When Artful Blogging contacted me last July about including Creating a Life in an upcoming edition, I was thrilled! And then I was scared. 

I had only been blogging about 9 months, and I was nowhere near believing that any publication would be interested in my photos, let alone THIS publication. 


I was getting ready to leave on our summer road trip to southern California and there was a pretty short deadline to write an article and provide them with the photos they requested. 


I'll be honest, it was pretty stressful at the time. I did not feel confident about what I wrote, but I hadn't gotten any feedback about it. Off to California I went feeling pretty insecure about how it would all come off in print. 






My article was supposed to be in the Winter issue, but in late August I was contacted and informed that they had over booked the issue and my article would be one of the ones they intended to bump to the Spring issue. 

Honestly, my own self-doubt {anyone else ever struggle with that?} had me thinking that they just didn't like the article or the photos after all and I wouldn't hear from them again. 













In October I was contacted requesting some different images and the rest, as they say, is history!  

I shared my surreal moment of having a first look at my artist's copy this week over on my Facebook page.


I am honored and completely humbled to be included in this issue with so many talented blogger artists. Such a dream!


Thank you so much to Jennifer Jackson Taylor and Christine Stephens  {former and current managing editors of Artful Blogging} for the thrill of seeing Creating a Life in the pages of your beautiful magazine!


The spring issue of Artful Blogging is available February 1st and can be ordered here.


Time to come down from the clouds and welcome a new week of possibilities.


Happy Monday, friends!



Jeanette
