Every New Year's Eve I make several resolutions and this years included losing weight by staying on weight watchers. Well that has been an up and down, day by day journey for me. So far I have lost about 69 pounds and struggle each day but am determined to do this not to be a thin person as that is not me, but to be a healthier version of me.
So then I chose my One little word which is "persevere" which is what I have been doing for a little over 14 months.
My next resolution was to get published. I am not a person who likes NO or rejection so usually stay away from things that have only yes or no responses.
Well last January Tammy who is the owner and illustrator of A Day for Daisies asked if we (the design team) would like to submit cards for a publication she would be in. I bit the bullet and decided to submit a card to see if it would be accepted and it was.
Yesterday my friend Chrissie over in the UK picked up the magazine for me and scanned the page my card was on and sent it to me. To say I am over the moon excited would be an understatement.
Here is the page from the magazine. My card is on the top.

Bad news is that they gave me a new last name. They have it as Eckland. I am used to people messing up the name and hopefully next time I get published they will get it right.
Here is the cover of the magazine. My friends Arielle and Kadie got the cover. I am super excited for them as they are so talented and inspire me every week over at A Day for Daisies.
Stop over at the A Day for Daisies blog and congratulate them both.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.
