I'm not usually one to toot, but...

I have been published a couple of times in some idea books as well as Simple Scrapbooks Digital 4 and Digital Memories Magazine. I have never thought of it as a big deal. But 2 days ago, the editor at Legacy Magazine (my favorite magazine in the whole world!) emailed me to tell me that one of my articles was going to be published in the Oct/Nov issue and another in the Dec/Jan issue. Not only is my artwork going to be published in a mainstream magazine, but my words as well. And then the cherry on top came yesterday afternoon. I got an email from someone else at Legacy saying that one of my layouts will be in the Aug/Sep issue! So that means I will be in the next three issues!
For those of you not familiar with Legacy, their website describes it as follows:
Devoted to creating family heirlooms for tomorrow, Legacy™ showcases all kinds of artwork that incorporates family history photographs, documents, and memorabilia. In addition to featuring elegant scrapbook pages, home décor items, journals, wearable art, paper crafts and other handmade heirlooms, Legacy™ offers solid advice from renowned genealogy experts on researching one’s family roots.
Being a heritage scrapper and genealogy researcher, Legacy has been my favorite magazine for a while, however, I also love the other Stampington & Company's magazines like Somerset Studio and The Stamper's Sampler. Anyway, more rambling than I'm sure you cared to hear but I am pretty excited about this and thought I would share it with the world!!

  23. Congrats on the Blog and on the articles, that's great news. I've never seen Legacy, I'll have to pick one up next time we're at city with actual magazine choices. Had to chuckle at your "Holy Batman" statement. If it weren't for my computer savy fella I would have never ever gotten away from the boring Blogger Templates. So I'll read your blog if you read mine....deal. Thanks for the gorgeous kit, I love those papers!

    Robyn! You continue to amaze me. You are a model of balance for the rest of us. You juggle so many roles: Mom, Daughter, Sister, Mrs. England, Mrs. Robyn, and most beautifully inspiring of all, good old ROBYN. It is a pleasure to see you being all of those people and fully yourself at the same time.

    I am thrilled about the Legacy deal. I told someone at Digishoptalk you were one of the 'premier heritage scrappers'!

    I hope you can post more at Digishoptalk BTW - it's really hoppin and people would love to hear about DAQ and the heritage scene (also that fab war kit).
