Lisa Feb 12, 2008

Ah yes, they told about my dad walking around the house playing his ukelele too!  I'm sure that's not something he wanted the world to know but as you all know when I start to write about something, and am excited, I sometimes can't help telling about something that tickled me in some way.  My dad has forgiven me by the way.

I also truly believe in the power of positive thinking and that you can make good things happen that way.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've never been nominated for a teddy bear award in one of the American contests but have dreamed about it many times (it also helps to enter).  All of my positive thoughts right now are centered on visualizing my twins in underpants instead of diapers.  I'm dreaming of a diaper free world for me.  Close your eyes and think with me now so it will become REAL!

Lisa! Couldn't happen to a nicer person!
Now lets get down to business :photo: . See if you can get extra copies of the magazine. Do have one cover professionally framed. Then laminate or use a portable frame for another copy that you can bring to shows. It's really great if you can get extra copies of the magazine and hand them out to special collectors or other PR people interested in your creations. Saves a lot of explanation time and they'll remember it better than a quick talk.   :dance: OK, continue celebrating  :bday:

It's such an honor and a thrill Lisa.  I am very pleased for you :clap: .  :clap:  :clap:  Enjoy it and get lots of copies!

Aw, thanks guys!  Like I said, the whole experience has been very exciting.  And I received such nice personal notes from several people at Jones Publishing.  I think I have 5 magazines in total so far but definitely want more.  I'll have to order some from Jones or haunt my local Borders.  Anyway, I haven't stopped smiling for days...I must go rest my cheeks!

P.S.  And if you've been trying to E-mail me and I haven't sent anything back it's because I've been messing around with my Spam software.  Anyway, I'm sorry and I will try to look through the SPAM folder and get back to you!
