The reason I am so excited is that I had 3 cards picked up for publication in Paper Creations! Then I had 4 cards picked up for publication in Just Cards – Valentines/Love Special Issue. YEAH!!!
I have been submitting so many cards, and most times hear nothing back. It’s been a challenge trying to figure out what each magazine might be looking for. It’s kind of funny though, some of my favourite cards that I thought for sure may be picked up, weren’t. Urgh….lol, I guess you just have to keep trying!
It’s the same with Design Teams! I have tried out for a few big companies, and seem to always make it to the final round, but then they email me saying I didn’t make the final pick! This year I am going to just keep trying! Heck, all’s they can do is say NO!
I know there are many of you going through exactly the same thing. Don’t give up though! Just keep plugging away, and eventually we will get there! lol
Hubby and I were going through some photos last night, and came accross this one of me. I really don’t like pictures of myself, but he said he loved this one and told me to post it on my blog. So, here I go! Urgh, that was painful! lol
Well, off to create and take pictures! Have a wonderful morning everyone! :)

Wow, Congratulations, Kim on being published, not once but twice! That's awesome news! :)
I love your photo, I think some of the best photos are when we're unaware it's being taken...candid shots. This one is worthy of framing for sure! You have such a kind heart and you're as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. I'm proud to call you my friend! :)
Big Hugs,
Julie

Congratulations on your publications!!! I know what you mean about submitting, applying etc. I only submit to my Bella Group for a homepage contest and I hardly get any votes!!! I notice alot of the cards that do get picked are the "busier" cards, so I just might have to get out of my comfort zone! LOL! Also BEAUTIFUL picture, tell your hubby thanks for posting, good for you!!! I am struggling with my own self etc and it is hard! have a great day! Cheers!
