Here it is, in black and white: My name at the top of a real newspaper article! If you'd like to read it, the post below has the link. I want to thank everyone who left such nice comments too! I hope to have more to share in the future :)
Do you love quotes? I do. I love finding quotes to put on plaques and cards and anything else I can get my hands on. The Quotation Page
has more than you could imagine. It's even indexed by authors and subjects like these:
A good home must be made, not bought-
Joyce Maynard
or,
None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
and finally,
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
It's such a great resource..I could spend hours just reading the quotes and dreaming if ways to use them. And it's great when I am making a greeting card for some one and stuck for something to say!
If you get a chance, stop over and visit Kimba at a Soft Place to Land. She does a ton of great furniture make-overs and creatively clever projects and asked me if she could feature one of my chair make overs.
And my friend. Manuela, used to be the Feathered Nest, now has a new blog The Pleasures of Homemaking , please stop over and welcome her back!

ReplyDeleteokay, can you tell I commented on your other post...about taking a photo of the newspaper...before I kept reading and read this one? Yikes. Great minds, I guess. Congrats, Jen! This is soooo fun. First TV, and now newspapers. Seriously. Don't forget us little folks.
