Early Friday morning I called
Ink About It and asked if they had gotten the latest
Artful Blogging magazine yet. Linda said no, but that they had been billed already, and the UPS man was due to arrive around 11 AM. She said that she would call me if it arrived and put one aside for me.
A little after 11 AM she called and said she was putting my copy aside. I drove there wondering if my little watercolor had made it into the article about Bev and her amazing
Pink Saturday. Bev had been interviewed by Jennifer Jackson for an article in the Summer 2010 issue.
Bev submitted lots of Pink Saturday submissions, but knew that it was up to the magazine to choose which ones would make the issue. This is my 98th Pink Saturday post and well, I just love Pink Saturday and Miss Bev.
She will be posting about it today, so make sure that you stop by
How Sweet The Sound and read all about it.
When I got to Ink About it, there were many people taking a class and my copy was behind the counter. I carefully leafed through the magazine.
There it was...my little Secret Garden watercolor. I squealed and let out a "yay." Completely forgetting about the class going on, and then Karen walked into the shop and said "Are you in there?" I squealed "Yes", and then she squealed too.
The first person I called of course was my mom. I got her a copy, and it’s on the way.
Better than refrigerator art.
Well, I am thrilled.
Artful Blogging magazine has been my favorite magazine since the first issue. I remember squealing while standing at the mailbox the day my first copy had arrived. I own every issue, and this one is Over The Rainbow!
The song for this post is
Over The Rainbow.
In keeping with the Pink Saturday tradition, I have never met Glennis Waterman from
Doves2Day before. I see in the article that her photograph was chosen for the article too. What's that Glennis, did you squeal too? The article is wonderful and the interview is perfect. There are lots of Pink Saturday photographs and artwork to enjoy. Wishing you a very Happy Pink Saturday and
Rainbow Wishes.
I am squealing with you!!! I am so happy for you and with you...m..
OMG! Karen I am so excited for you! Now I can tell everyone that one of my dearest friends is Karen Cox the famous artiste! When I go to Ink About it, I'll be sure to get a copy.
Yay, Karen!! I am smiling really big!!!!

Congratulations!
I submitted photos for Beverly, but, LOL, I guess they didn't like them. LOL I also sent in photos for Gabriela - we'll see if they liked those any better LOL.
I tried to get one at Michael's and Joann's today - but neither had it yet.
Again, for a well-deserved inclusion!
HOW EXCITING! I have loved Beverly forever and loved you too! That the two of you combined made it into Artful Blogging just makes me soooo HAPPY!

Good morning my sweet Karen! CONGRATULATIONS on this achievement! You are great!!!!! And I thank you always for providing me with the hints and the encouragement to pursue my endeavors....I submitted my ideas as you encouraged me to do so to Somerset. I haven't heard anything, but I probably didn't contact the right people.
This is fabulous, Karen! MERCI! Anita
Oh, Karen. I am so excited and happy for all of the Pink Saturday participants. It is each and every one of you that make Pink Saturday so very special.

And thank you for bringing it to my attention - I knew it was about to come out, but didn't know exactly when.
Happy Pink Saturday doubly!
Congrats, Karen..
I'm late with my PS post for today so visit me later if you like. Thomas had hernia surgery this week and it threw me off schedule.
Since I have to mail order my Artful Blogging issue I'm glad that you received yours and showed the photo credits...I was among the submissions but did not make according to the photo credits. [sigh]....but I am so tickled for you and Beverly and all the others that did make it into this issue. ♥
Thanks for sharing...
Hugs,
Stephanie ♥

Hi Karen, congratulations! I love your watercolor. I'm trying to track down a copy of the magazine for myself. Barnes and Noble won't have it till May 1. I was so excited when Beverly wrote to tell me my photo had been selected. Pink Saturday is such a fun meme. Thanks for sharing this on your blog so I could get a peek!
Hugs ~ Sarah
Congratulations and OMGosh! My Pink Saturday photo is in there too! This is the first glance I've had of the article. Thank you sooooo much for posting!! ♥
Congrats to you!! I am still rather new to blogging and had not heard of this magazine before but rest assured, I will be at Barnes and Nobles tomorrow to buy an issue and most likely every issue after that!!
HPS!!

I can't get this magazine in UK so would you mind if I copy some of your pics to put on my blog?
I'm hoping the publishers will send me a copy but in the meantime I would love to share your beautiful blog with my friends. Is that OK?
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you :) Well deserved your water color is beautiful.
Hi Karen! How very exciting. Your watercolor is so pretty and deserves to be seen by many!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

That's very kind of you Karen. Please send to this address

I love the layout of your blog it is so colourful and interesting - I must get around to rearranging mine which is very static but I've not been doing it very long. I started it simply to show off my artwork but, like Topsy it has just "growed".
Nice to meet you too - blogging is great isn't it when you can meet like minded people from all over the world.
Thanks again.
JJ
Congratulations! There is nothing more fun than having a dream like that come true!
Hi Karen,
Thanks so much for the prayers and quick healing for my Thomas. He's really stiff today and still a lot of pain...it's been 40 years since he's had any kind of surgery so he was thinking of [super quick recovery] as if he's still 20 years old..LOL Bless his heart.♥
And I so appreciate your kind supportive words about my design...I do have a passion which is yet to be totally defined..I guess it will be a progression through life to let it unfold...and that is what makes designing such fun..it's so true that the brain locks into a certain mode when the creative soul needs to come out to play. ♥
Have a wonderful day...
Hugs,
Stephanie ♥
Congratulations Karen! I am so happy that your beautiful work was recognized in that beautiful publication! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and sit down with a cup of coffe and enjoy it:>)

Hi Karen
I noticed the Art Blogger button and had to see what it was all about. How exciting for you to have your artwork in it!! Congratulations!
Hugs, Rhondi
I love the article in artful blogging on your Saturday Pink, couldn’t have come in a better timing for me. The month of October "Breast cancer awareness" I lost my mother to it and looking at your pictures somehow gave me something to look on, instead of dwelling on. thank you
