some news & a giveaway

{note: I've updated some links since this morning now that the issue is available & I've added a sneak peek to the magazine as well!}

so a little while back I got an email from the very sweet amy of inspire & co. asking if I'd be interested in being part of her spring magazine...I was beyond flattered & said of course I would! I even did three new photos specially for the occasion:




to say I am excited & honored to be part of the magazine is a huge understatement! huge.

I got to see a sneak peek of the issue the other day & it is fabulous - there are more than 170 pages & 20 plus projects! and there are no ads so it's just project after project after lovely image after lovely image... the content is so inspiring! there are so many talented contributors, including mary englebriet - it's definitely worth the $3.30, so I hope you'll check it out. here's a little peek of my section:


and the cover:


if you'd like a little taste of what to expect here's what the xmas issue was like and here's a little peek at the spring issue itself:



as a way to share my excitement I'd like to do a little giveaway for one print from my shop...just leave a comment {about any old thing} on this post by 9pm cst sunday night {the 13th} & I'll announce the winner in next monday's post. oh, and there's no problem entering if you live outside the us - this giveaway is open to everyone :)
