Artful Blogging Summer 2014

It's Friday!  Yay!  Thank goodness! :)  I hope you had a wonderful and productive week!  We sure had a busy one with a lot of new things coming our way, but I will save that story for another time!  Anyhow, I wanted to share a little something else with you...  I had the great honor and privilege to be a contributor in the Summer 2014 issue of Artful Blogging!  It made its way to newstands on May 1 and I just received my copy in the mail!  Packed with beautiful photographs and with many fabulous and talented bloggers telling their stories, I stand humbled to be included.  I have miles to go it seems before I reach their level of expertise, but I do love a challenge, so let's see how I can grow and improve for next time!






Interestingly, the several photos they selected to publish from my blog, were quite incidental, but when compiled together they represent this blogger's journey.  In addition, you will find the little piece that yours truly had written special for the issue!  Found at bookstores, such as Barnes & Noble or by simply clicking *Here*, the summer issue is a real treat, so don't forget to grab your copy today!  


Thank you to Stampington & Company for this incredible opportunity!

  4. I was featured in the Feb issue page 6-13 and was so honored, beyond words. Artful Blogging added grace and beauty to my days. Now taking notice that they added a sweet note I emailed them with to the blogger buzz, and then used my photo of my home and art on the page in the back where you would see the advertising add for back issues page 138. This came as a beautiful surprise.
    I have to tell you I felt the same as Anne, looking at page after page of the artfulness Artful Blogging adds to ones personal journey.

    I can't say enough about Artful Blogging.

    A BIG! Congrats to you Maria, so well deserved.
    If you visit my blog you will find I also have added in this issue with another little feature weaving it into my French quarters post.
    Happy Mothers Day to you.
