My Studio Is Published!

Well I can finally talk about another exciting moment for me as an artist !  Way back in January I had received the most amazing e-mail from the editor of one of my fave magazines 

Cloth Paper Scissors STUDIOS    Catherine Prato!  I almost fell off my chair !  I had responded to a question on the fan page which read, "Do you share your studio space with your daughter, or other family member?"  I answered that I shared my studio with my very creative daughter Michaela.  That was it.  Short . Sweet.  I never in a million years thought it would amount to this .  The e-mail suggested I send in some photos and a write up about my space and because it was in the middle of January and it was soooo snowy and cold.... I freaked out!   I called a good friend of mine Alan Woodworth to take the photos and sent in an old photo of my studio in summer.  I really wish I had more time or had better photos of my cabin in say.... JULY!!  But it was a decision I had to make and so I sent what we could in as quick as I could.  It was a good decision.  

When I got home from Toronto on Sunday , there it was.  Two Spring and Summer issues of my favourite magazine with a page all about my little studio.  I'm so excited about this and wanted to share this little nugget of happiness with you all.  Oh and the really great part about this..... I had a picture of this magazine on my vision board that I created last year !!  Cool or what??  Here are some photos of my spot in the magazine....eeek! 

                                 

This *#@! Really Works!

  So way back in 2010 my bestie Margot encouraged me to do a vision board.   Now for those of you that do not know what a vision board is, it is a collection of photos, magazine clippings, quotes, words.... well just about any visual reminder that has everything to do with you.
  My vision board was designed so that I focused on 9 main areas of my life I felt needed some attention .  The 9 areas are as follows:

Wealth and Prosperity

Fame and Reputation

Relationships To Attract or Strengthen

Health and Family

Center of Being

Creativity Playful Inner Child

Knowledge and Self Cultivation

Creative Goals and Aspirations

Helpful People / Travel

So now with all that being said, last January I received an e-mail from the editor of 

Cloth Paper Scissors STUDIOS

Catherine Prato , asking me if I would submit some photos of my studio for their spring summer publication!!!  Of course I said I would, but then was immediately stressed out because we had soooo much snow and cold weather and these were supposed to be spring/summer shots!  Well I asked  my good friend Al Woodworth  if he's please help with photographing the studio and so one snowy cold day he came out and took some photos for me.  I am very excited about this , as this magazine is one of my faves, but at the same time wishing the timing was better.  I had so many plans to fix up the studio and I knew I could've made it look so much better.  Oh well, maybe they will have a redecorating, then and now issue in the future!  Get your camera ready Al !  I'm so glad I put that photo of 

Cloth Paper Scissors STUDIOS    

on my vision board!!
