While I was away I received my copy of the new Artful Blogging magazine published by Stampington. This is my first time being published and I am over-the-top thrilled to get 4 whole pages with an article and tons of pics from my blog. This is a dream come true!Here I am with Chloe showing off the large picture of her that made it into the magazine. 
It will hit newstands on August 1st and let me tell you this magazine is absolutely packed with eye candy and really fabulous writing. Dozens of amazing bloggers are featured. The articles and the pictures really capture our little niche of blogland. I will be looking to this for inspiration for months to come! Congrats to everyone in it:) 
I will be having a drawing to give away one copy of this amazing new publication, before you can buy it in the store. If you leave a comment on this post (make sure to include your email), your name will be put in the drawing. You have until this Friday, July 20th at midnight to enter. Good luck!

I can not wait to get this issue and see more!
