Surprised by Romantic Country Magazine!

Those sneaky little tricksters at  

Romantic Country Magazine!

 I just adore the new Editor, Mary Forsell,
so I e-mail her regularly asking her what sorts of things
they might be looking for in the coming issues.

Well, a few months back, she gave me a short list, and among her wish list

was dress forms or mannequins. I sent her a few shots I had taken in Warrenton

this past September, and that was that, or so I thought.

Bless Mary's heart, she had been so busy that she forgot to tell me that

the art department had chosen two of my photos
for the Spring 2012 feature, on newsstands now!

I only found out this week, as I am still recovering from a nasty throat infection,

and had sent the Mister to the store for some meds, yogurt, OJ, and the new issue 

of Romantic Country, as I knew my super talented friend Shell of Bungalow Bling

was featured in the new issue.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw

that two of my photos had indeed made the issue.

I shot the photo on the top of the page 

at my sweet friend Christie Connelly's

space in Warrenton ( get a blog, will ya, Christie?! )...

 and I shot the beautiful bald headed gal below at my buddy

Theresa Cano's space at Zapp Hall.

The Spring 2012 issue also has inspiring features

on my friends Rebecca Ersfeld  and Tracie Truran,
written and styled by Miss Fifi O'Neill herself!
It's a really great issue, be sure to grab it!

This happy news, along with my antibiotics, should be
the BEST medicine.
Back to recuperating, have a wonderful weekend and a
Happy New Year!
