"Cloth Paper Scissors" arrived today with MY art!!!!!

Just got the mail and the day I have been waiting for has arrived!  My painting, "be a star" is published in my favorite magazine, "Cloth Paper Scissors!"  This is a dream come true!  I  made it as a finalist in their "make mine mini" challenge several months ago and have been waiting on pins and needles ever since to see if I made the final cut into the magazine! I am pleasantly surprised and overjoyed to report that I made the cut!  I am now published and it feels great!  My artwork is on page 83 of the May/June issue.  What a way to start the week!  I am SOOO happy, excited, and thankful!

YAY--I'm a finalist!!!

Just got the news today that I was selected as a finalist in the Cloth Paper Scissors "make mine mini" challenge!  I am soooo excited! Cloth Paper Scissors is my favorite magazine and I feel like I won the lottery!  Thank you to everyone who "viewed/liked" my pieces!  The next step is to send in the original and hope it's one of the pieces chosen for publication!  Keep your fingers crossed!  It would definitely be another dream come true!  The piece of mine that was selected is "be a star."  This was my personal favorite of the group I submitted.  The first layer of this mixed media piece is full of messages that have special meaning to me including a page torn from the Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and a newspaper headline that says "don't defer the dream."  Thanks to Cloth Paper Scissors and congrats to all the other finalists!
