Friday Fave: Being Published (and a giveaway).

I have been so very lucky to be published in Creating Keepsakes... not once, but TWICE. This summer's July/August issue will feature a layout I created that is very special to my heart. (Pun intended. See more about it HERE.)

But today, I'm so excited for someone else who has been published! And while she's a super creative scrapper, she's not getting a paper project published (yet at least). She's a great writer and has been published in a popular book!!!

My sister in law Shelle submitted a story from her blog to the famous "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. Because her story is so great and well written, they published it in their brand new "New Moms" edition.

Would you like a copy? Head on over to her blog HERE and leave a comment to win a copy! You can also hear a little bit about her story there and read other well written, clever, real and heartwarming blog posts. Plus you get to see cute pictures of my niece. What could be better?

Congratulations to you, Shelle!!!
