I had a little program to go to in Isabella's preschool today and I'll post some pictures a little later... That sad news is that I got there when the teacher told me to be there by and they had already done the program!!! Can you believe it? I told her I was going home to get ready and I had to wait for my friend to come over at 9:00am to help with cleaning my house and the kits and what time to I need to be back for the program... She told me to be there before 9:30 and I'd be good. I got there at 9:25 and they were already onto their craft! That stinks... Isabella wasn't too sad about it though so that's good but all I got pictures of was her craft and playing on the playground in a teepee...
I have to go quickly get my car's oil changed because we're taking in to Lance's Uncles house in Lake Isabella (funny huh ;)- and Las Vegas next week! Did I mention we were taking the older girls to see Phantom of the Opera the day after Thanksgiving?? Not sure if I did... Then I will come home and package up the winner's goodies and get those shipped off today before I pick up the girls from school!
I have some pictures to share with you from my Design Team too so I'll try to get those on here tonight as well.
Oh.... I almost forgot.... I have two Magazines I'm in this month! Woohoo.... I'm "tooting" here... wait, that doesn't sound right? lol... When someone get's published in this industry and we want to share we say we're "tooting" (like tooting our own horn...) but it could be mistaken for something else... hehehe... Anyways, My Swiss Chalet book is in the December issue of Scrapbook Trends this month AND my "Tis The Season" Clear Scraps House Album from last year is in the Dec/Jan issue of Sommerset Memories! I haven't seen either one yet and I'm tempted to go to Barnes and Noble and look but I don't want to go alone.... Anyone want to come with me??? If not, my hubby will go with me this weekend. I got a really nice email from Jana, the publisher or Sommerset and she apologized up and down a million times because she wanted to warn me that my name is spelled wrong! She said that by the time she caught it and called the printer, it was too late. It's o.k. Jana, everyone always thinks my last name is spelled with a McCu insteal of McCo.... She also told me that there is a sneak peek on my Miley Cyrus album that will be in the next issue after that! Finally, I'm in a magazine that is in English and I can read!!! lol... The last one was in Dutch and the one before was a inside industry magazine and the one before that was a newsletter and the one before was a book so this is really the first time I'm seeing me in a real magazine that you can buy at the news stands! So sorry if I'm a little excited... I can't help it! I encourage ALL of you to send in your work... You never know what they are looking for and you could be next! And, if you do and you've used one of my kits, you can put that on there too!
Well, I'm off for now... Maybe my product will come today!!
Congratulations on being picked to be featured in 2 magazines! But why not. Your artistic, creative amd so fun! Your Work is what drew me here in the first place!

Congratulations!!! I am glad you keep us informed on the magazines you are featured in. I can show people the articles and say "This is my friend, Laura." LOL Really, you deserve it although I don't know how you do it all. We will probably see you on Oprah one day promoting a book you have written.
