Surprises are great!



I'm not one for tootin' my own horn but I received a really neat surprise today when I opened my mail.

I noticed the Summer 2008 issue of Somerset Gallery in my mailbox. I knew I didn't order it and wondered why I received it. It dawned on me that possibly I could have an art piece, published in there, as I did submit a couple pieces quite awhile ago and actually had forgotten about them. I opened the magazine up and started perusing it only to find one of my collages on page 12 of the issue! This is an 8 x 10 collage on canvas that I submitted for their House theme which was probably a year ago! I didn't even know it was going to be in the Gallery. Oh well; it was certainly a nice surprise :)

I am hoping your day and week will be good to you all! Love, Marilyn
