Better Homes and Gardens magazine and a give away

well .... Here it is !!!

my snowman hearts are in this Better Homes and Gardens special interest magazine ... click to enlarge

it's in stores NOW , I found the magazine in my grocery store !

I meant to write about this last week but .... Irene the Hurricane distracted me .

Thank God .... we are fine , our house is okay !

But parts of Connecticut had real serious damage . Hope you got through this storm okay !

so .......... I want to say that Etsy and blog people are WONDERFUL !!!

I would not have known the magazine was even out in the stores if it wasn't for JAN in Texas !

I didn't even know her but she was so nice to write to me and say "congratulations .... your work looks great in the magazine "

you know I'm a recluse , a hermit ..... an anti social artist nut ...... so if it wasn't for Jan I would have missed seeing my work published in this magazine

so THANK YOU Jan .... everyone say Thank you JAN

visit Jan's etsy shop .... she makes wonderful art , you will love her dolls

Finally > because of all this excitement I am doing a give away of one .... no TWO snowman hearts

Jerry and I will pick TWO names

oh ... one more thing . a funny weird thing . I never know what people will like [ stuff that I make ] .... what "I" like ... well .... some people don't

They asked me for Three snowman hearts . They published two ,,,, they didn't include MY favorite one .

but here .... on my blog .... I'm giving away two of MY favorite snowman hearts

just want to thank the people at Better Homes and Gardens .... VERY nice people.

So

leave your name , and/or a comment

and we will pick two names SOON .

can't tell you what day right now .... but it will be soon

Bye !

Thank you Cindi

I've posted my doll's photo before .... he's one of my favorites . He is by my front door and I think my face looks just like this when I have to go out .

but the reason I'm writing here tonight

is to thank CINDI ......... she wrote a lovely post about ME , ..... AND Robin Kent [ you should see Robin's art too ! ]

anyway .....It made me so happy
