A brag post... My work in print.

A couple of months ago  I received an email from a lady asking for my permission to use some  photos from my blog for an article she was writing for a  French crafting magazine.

Initially I thought this was a wind up as three pieces she had chosen were my  first experimental pieces with distress oxide inks and Lavinia stamps.

After some consideration and a discussion with my deputy head who speaks and reads French, I gave her permission to use the photos.
The magazine is not available in the UK
so I never really expected to see a copy.

My deputy head said " my daughter lives in France. I will ask her to track down a copy and I'll bring it back when I visit her at Easter. "

Cutting a slightly  longer story short...
Her Easter  holiday plans changed. So I gave up on ever seeing my work in print.

Then  last week Michelle came over to England, on a surprise visit  bringing  with her this copy of the magazine for me.

I flicked through the mag  quickly and didn't see my images so  I thought the lady had changed her mind.

It wasn't until later that I looked through it properly and found Elise had actually used four of my images.

Regular readers will probably recognize the  photo's as it wasn't very long ago I posted them.

I don't read or speak french so I have no idea what Elise had written.   I ve had a chest infection this past week and haven't had the energy  or concentration to type the text into google translate to find out.


So I am hoping  she hasn't written anything too negative.. lol

I guess this post could be considered a brag post to some.  But this is a first for me so I just had to share. As nothing like this has ever happened before and it probably never will happen again... lol
Thank you Elise  for asking to use my work for your article. I got quite a kick out seeing my work in print and thank you to Jan and Michelle for making it possible for me to see and own a copy of the magazine.
