Happy New Year & lookie!

Wow!

When I posted my new headshot the other day, I had no idea that one of the publications that held it would be in my hands so soon. Honest! I worked on this issue for months along with four other fabulous writers and Darlene D'Agostino, our amazing editor. The research was *extensive*.

I just happened to be at the scrapbook store in Knoxville this afternoon, and there it was. Imagine my surprise! Of course I'll get several comps, but there was no way I could wait until the next regular mail day. That'll be Tuesday, won't it? And what if my comps aren't already in the mail??? So I bought a copy.

That lovely person next to me on the contributors' page is my good friend Diana Hudson, Masters '03. She's a sweetheart and a very talented designer for Carolee's Creations. I can't wait to see her again. We laughed together at CHA last year in Atlanta, and I hope she'll be at CHA Las Vegas. That's less than a month away. WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something to celebrate on a very uncharacteristic and inordinately dull NYE!
