I Still Can't Believe It

 Last October I hadn't checked my blog email account for three weeks...

I was stunned when I opened an email from Artful Blogging asking if I would be interested in submitting images for consideration to be featured in an upcoming issue.  Of course I said yes...although I was a little embarrassed to be responding so late.

The easy part, submitting photographs...

I submitted about 35 images and they also looked through my blog photos, picking the ones they thought would work best with the magazine.

The hard part, writing an article...

Needless to say, I am more comfortable with photographs than words.

It took me a while to write the article...

I found out my husband, who has opened only one fiction book in his adult life, has an amazing grasp on the English language.  My daughter and I, both avid readers, would give each other a 'who knew' look whenever another punctuation rule flowed out of his mouth.  Seriously, we were amazed.  I think he remembers all the rules from high school English.  He thought since we read all the time we would know these things too.  No.  We forgot it all and read for content, evidently he reads and notices how things are put together...the engineer brain.  :)

I also enlisted help from my sister and a friend, who both gave me invaluable opinions.  Thank you everybody for your help and support!

Danielle and Evelyn from Artful Blogging were a pleasure to work with.  I am grateful and so appreciate the opportunity to have a tiny part in the lovely publication and to share the pages with such creative individuals. There are some amazing bloggers in the summer issue...amazing photographs too.

I still can't believe it.  :)

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to visit my blog, I appreciate it more than you know.

P.S.  I bet you have been wondering what the one fiction book my husband read...Harry Potter.  He couldn't wait for the next movie.  :)

Have a great day!
