Today is February and that's when Stampington's quarterly magazine Altered Couture will be on the news stands. And thanks to you my amazing family, friends,lit'l sisters and greatest supporters, my little brown vestita will be in it!!! yeah! Yep it's sharing covers with some extremely gifted art to wear artists! Who would have thought?? Certainly not me. In fact if it wasn't for all the support, encouragement a plain old handholding you guys have so lovingly gifted me, Annalise & my head cheerleader (LW) would be the only ones to see it! I will never be able to tell you how much this means to me. As far as saying thank you, I'm not sure there is a THANK YOU big enough! I am a very lucky girl to have such an incredible gifted and loving artsisters and family!!!
I guess starting this year Stampington emails you a copy of the article as it will appear in the magazine. Which is a darn good thing, cuz some of us like the author won't get her hard copy for another 3-4 weeks :( So my ever handsome geek is helping me post a copy (actually a picture) of the article, because there is something about all these letters not wanting to play together-- PDF,Jpeg, IDON'TKNOW, IDON'TCARE...it's all just alphabet soup to me!! But the next time you find yourself standing in front of the magazine rack maybe you could check out Altered Couture and let me know how it looks.
Have a most audacious art filled day my Bloglandian family, no matter where in the world you are p;) PS: It seems that the only way we could keep Blogger,and every other acronyms happy was to print out the article then scan it back onto my desktop and then put it on the blog through the picture thingy. Lousy at best I'm sorry!!
CONGRATULATONS, Pattie! YOU DID IT!!!! Oh you had this little secret going all along - you finally spilled the beans! But I am not surprised at all...I just knew your vestitas were Somerset/Stampington-worthy the first time I saw them. I hope you will be a regular contributor. I cannot wait to see this issue...I'll try to find it this weekend! Sending you a great big congratulatory hug!
Pattie! CONGRATULATIONS my dear sweet Pattie =)) You are published!!! I too am doing the Mexican happy dance ~ right now for you...yes, I am!! I love the vestitas! The pictures are beautiful, as always. You know I would probably have never looked inside of this magazines, as once I do I always must buy it! And, I don't need another magazine ~ really, I don't! But, I am going tomorrow to BAM just to see it! I am so, so happy for you =)) You go girl~~ diane xoxox
Well congrats you talented lady! That is way cool, and your visita is over the top cute. I am very happy for you, and glad you went for it. Way to go Pattie! Riki xox
What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?" "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

I'm a retired RN with a PhD in Investigative Psychology a mom of 3 grown children and grandma of 3 boys. I am a very lucky girl because I share my "couple of beads off center" kinda life with the perfect traveling companion,living a few of our life goals!! Since high school I have wanted to retire early, & live in Mexico learning and experiencing this most beautiful culture. Later I promised myself that when my time became my own again I would make art when ever I wanted!! It took a heap of livin and a whole lot of believing but I managed to get here. This journal is about my new life full of the adventures of living,learning,making art, and the creating memories.
