Somerset Holidays & Celebration 2008

Contrary to popular misconception, lightning often strikes the same place twice. According to NASA research, certain conditions are just ripe for a bolt of electricity to come zapping down. Opening my mail box today I got that tingly feeling once again when I saw the Somerset Holidays & Celebration issue. I was told that a few of my pieces were to be featured in this issue but I never really believed it until I actually opened the magazine and saw it for myself. So maybe there's some truth to the lightening strike statistic or maybe I own a magical mailbox. Whichever outside force is aligning my stars I am happily dancing under them.

Wow..that is awesome!!! Love that piece too btw! Hey, my free issue didn't come yet from Stampington. My ad coordinator said that the SpookyTime Jingles ad made the inside cover of this holiday issue. Can you confirm this for me? ~biting nails~ B/c the issue doesn't hit the stands until the 1st! ARGH-
