Prims!

So yesterday it finally arrived in the mail--- the latest issue of Prims Magazine.....

I was so excited. Not just because its one of the most beautiful art magazines out there, but because three of my little dolls appear within its pages! And not just on one page...or two pages....FOUR pages dedicated to my Sisters of Button Place:
I was pretty much beside myself with excitement when I saw the proofs for the layout a few weeks back. It was one of those 'call and tell your mama' episodes :) I love how they arranged my girls and brought out their beauty. These three dolls are called Minnie, Nora and Sadie, all after women long passed in my family. Minnie was my great-great grandma and although I never met her, I often played with a large rag doll she made my granny when she was a little girl. That doll is still around and still lovable and sweet. So its only fitting perhaps that these little dolls were a nod to her.
There are some great artists in this magazine, and I'm amazed to share ink with them. Junker Jane's dolls are a particular favorite, and I love love love Nicol Sayre.

I am just so excited to get to do these things that I've been in love with since I was little, and that people like to see it and actually put it in magazines, or buy it for their homes. It's such an awesome and amazing feeling!

I hope you enjoy the magazine--- its just pure magic from cover to cover. It hits bookstores and craft stores on April 1. Enjoy!~

I got my copy last week and really enjoyed your article.
Made me think of times sitting around the table with my gram and her sisters listening to the story about the time Aunt Margie got stuck in the mud. It always made them giggle like school girls. :)

Congratulations!
