I received an envelope today with seven cards and a note from Stampington & Co saying that my work was going to be published in some upcoming issue(s) of Stampers Sampler. Here's the kicker.... These cards were submitted in May, 2007. Yes, ladies.......almost 2 1/2 years ago.

Strange, but true.

I couldn't tell you which cards are going to appear in which issue. I keep receiving odd-ball surprises in the mail, like this, and I haven't stamped a card in nine months. Don't get me wrong. They are pleasant surprises. Eventually though, mail will stop being forwarded to Florida from Nebraska. I wonder how many more of my cards are 'out there'?

You're a woman before your time, Ethel. It took a while for them to catch on, but woohoo on all the pubs.

Congrats on being published once again Ethel! That's so exciting! And yes, it is very strange that they use cards that are that old! I love what Tami and Sarah said...you're a woman before your time and you really do need to pick up those stamps again! :)
