Exciting News!

I am so thrilled to share with you that I've been published in the latest issue of Paper Crafts Handmade Home Décor! I've never been published in any of the Paper Crafts magazines before so this was an exciting moment for me! Here is a quick photo I took on the day that I received the magazine. I was too excited to set up a better picture! Sorry for the poor quality!


The best part about this wreath is that when I made it, I entered it into the local County Fair. Unfortunately, I entered it into too broad of a category where it was up against woodworking, metal work, embroidery, etc. and it didn't get any ribbons. It is tough to enter paper crafts into our fair since the judges are not paper crafters themselves, they often don't know what to base the judging on.

I truly loved it though and I knew it was destined for something better :) When I saw the Paper Crafts call, I thought I'd give it a go! As you can see, I am so glad that I did!


Thank you Paper Crafts Magazine for featuring my project! The issue is full of really fun home decor projects ranging from easy to difficult. Pick one up if you have the chance! Stop by the Paper Crafts blog today too!


If you are new to my blog...welcome! Feel free to go back and look through older posts. I hope you stick around for a while!
