A few weeks ago, I was notified that two of my purses would be published in the Nov/Dec issue of Belle Armoire. That was a really nice surprise since I had submitted the purses for another publication a year ago. And an even better surprise was how great the photo turned out. So a big thank you to Stampington and their great photographers.
My advice to anyone who has been thinking of submitting artwork to a magazine, just do it! You may be nicely surprised too.


Congrats on having your purses published! These are great...I love the top one!
