I am here today to share some exciting news about my artwork that was just published this December in the Winter 2018 edition of Stampington's "Somerset Studio Gallery" magazine.
I can not even begin to tell you the excitement when I opened my email and saw that Gracy Wilkins,the editor for Somerset Studio Gallery, wrote,
Hello Jackie,
Congratulations! The following artwork has been selected to be featured as a Feature article in the winter issue of Somerset Studio Gallery!
I ran yelling through the house to tell my husband who after hugging and kissing me and telling me how happy and proud he was...promptly started bowing ! haahaaa He is such a joker!
After I calmed down a bit,I dragged Riley in to see the the email,and....
there was another email from Gracy Wilkins, stating she wanted to publish two other pieces of my art!!
I could not even believe it!!not one but three piece all in the same magazine issue!
enough of my chatter...here are my three published pieces~there are no tutorials,as they are all listed in the Somerset Studio Gallery if you would like to know more...
"She Listens to Her Heart"
"Girls Wanna Have Fun"
The substrate for this is from my 30yo son's birth announcement that he did not want. When he saw the original yellow gingham,he said,Mom,you can make something else out of this! and so I did!
And for my third piece
"Fairies of Grace"
Well,over the moon with excitement does not even begin to express what I was feeling.
Tears running down my face,we read the second email together and it truly is a dream come true for me! Something I had wanted for years and here were two emails telling me it was my time!
Riley was extremely happy and proud of and for me and in his true jokey nature broke the tears up by continuing the bowing and said,
"I will be sure to walk a good two to three feet behind you from now on."
LOL I love that guy!
My package I received in the mail...
oh! and of course we had to go to Barnes & Nobles(who btw sells Stampington publications) for a photo op!
Thank you so very much
Stampington and Gracy Wilkins for giving me this wonderful opportunity!
Thank you all of my friends,who believed in me and encouraged me to submit my art!
And thank you to all of my fabulous readers who come by and put up with my long winded,full of picture posts!
You are the BEST!

Huge congratulations, Jackie - I'm absolutely thrilled for you - and I can well imagine you were bouncing off the walls with excitement! What wonderful pieces they all are - the paintbrush angel is magnificent with that mysterious veil over her face, and the little girls in the frame are simply enchanting. Love your fairy triptych too - amazing use of the GG images to create a fabulous decorative piece. Yay! What a lovely early Christmas gift.

Congratulations!! There is nothing more exciting than when you get your first magazine publication!! and you notice i said first as I am sure there will be many more!! My favorite is girls just want to have fun--how adorable!
Oh how wonderful Jackie!! Huge congratulations from me too!!! Each of your creations is just stunning and so worthy of being in the magazine. What a wonderful surprise just before Christmas! I am so thrilled for you!! Hope you have a happy holiday season (I am sure you will be smiling for weeks - lol!). Hugs, Anne xx
Jackie, I am so very happy for you. Your work is so special and richly deserves to be in Somerset Studio! These projects had me gasping with awe and delight they are so magnificent! Have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely family! By the way, I bet Chum is so proud of you too!
Hi Jackie, you must be....well it goes without saying!!!! thrilled!!!! though of course I am not at all surprised as your art work is fabulous and perfect for this magazine. I am hoping to get one though the shop that sends them to me doesn't always manage to get them as they have a long way to travel across the pond but I have my fingers crossed. I am sending you the biggest hugs my lovely arty friend and wishing you a brilliant Christmas though it will have to be something very special to beat all this excitement. Angela xXx
WOWWWWWWW!! Oh Jackie, I am so happy for you! Just for the record, I'm not at all surprised that your amazing work would be chosen to be published! You must have been out of your skin with excitement, what a blessing and an honour! I'm so proud of you!
The family has arrived and the Christmas festivities have begun, so I wanna take this opportunity to wish you the very best Christmas and a Happy New Year!! sending hugs :)
I'm so happy for you, Jackie! And very proud of you too! Those are truly beautiful pieces and they well deserve to be published for a wider audience to enjoy! And you more than deserve the recognition as an accomplished artist! May your string of success continue into the new year and beyond - a great example to all of us that dreams do come true! And remember those nasty women at the library you told me about a few of years ago when you were looking for a job (I still remember!) - go back to them and shove a copy of this magazine under their noses LOL! Wishing you lots of happiness over the holidays - sounds like Christmas came early for you! xx
