My first time being Published

And I made the cover!  I haven't said anything about it since Pam Baird contacted me back in June via my blog.  But they wanted my Christmas ATC.  I was so excited, my first time being published and I hadn't even submitted!!!

Then a few weeks later she emailed me that I made the cover!  Both Joel and Chelsea were there when I read the email and we were all so excited!

Today I get this email from Scrapbook Trends.  Just a general subscription email and to my surprise I see the cover of the holiday issue and recognized my ATC.  I figured I wasn't going to see this until some time in October...
