In print
July 18, 2008
Awhile back, I was asked to write an article for Stampington's magazine, Somerset Life.
It's been out there for awhile now - the issue hit newsstands on July 1st. In the article, I talk about my experiences blogging. Actually, now that I think about it, it's kind of funny to be blogging about an article about blogging.
So there you go. I was flattered to be asked to do this - the magazine is so beautiful. It was also a good challenge for me, too. I'm not the most comfortable writer, but now that I've had time to read it over about 10 gazillion times, I feel pretty good about it. And seeing my own photos in print is the icing on the cake. That is pretty cool.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
so, so proud of you! just fantastic. xo.

Well done you must be so proud. The photos look really vibrant. I wish I could get that magazine over here to read your article. I don't suppose I can get a copy of the article or would they ship to the UK have they a website?
