WOOOOO FREAKIN HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap I am so excited right now!!!
Remember how I said in a TTMT video that I was hoping to get cards published in a magazine?
Well......the deadline for acceptance passed for the one card magazine so I was feeling pretty bummed about that. I didn't receive an acceptance so I thought oh well, I will try for another magazine.
So I did...last night I worked on two different cards (different theme) and submitted them. The deadline to submit was LAST NIGHT at 12 pm MST. So....I submitted them (all via email luckily!) at about 11:15 pm last night. All day today I thought, meh who knows, I really have no idea what they will like or if I won't get any acceptance from them either. (which felt better saying not accepted than rejected...haha!) I was telling Jake last night when we were getting ready for bed that I just feel this overwhelming pressure to get accepted. I don't know why, but probably because that was a goal that I had for myself this year, was just to do it and try for it. This has been a hobby that I've been passionate about and like I said in my video, I'm really starting to take it more seriously this year. Soo...........
WELLL......I JUST CHECKED MY EMAIL AND THERE IS AN ACCEPTANCE FOR ONE OF THE CARDS I SUBMITTED!!!!!
Holy crap I am ecstatic!!! I can't believe it!! In the acceptance email there are steps for me to send it to them, which has to be mailed by Monday the 15th. So you know what I'll be doing this weekend! ;) Also in the email they say that they will return my card to me after its been photographed for the magazine, along with scrapbooking supplies (WIN!!!) and 2 issues of the magazine!!! Which, if any of you have seen this CARDS magazine, its freaking amazing. Its like a small, sturdy coffee table book almost and normally run about $20.00 bucks. So needless to say I'm super excited for the little prizes, but mostly for the sense of accomplishment. That honestly gives me so much motivation to keep creating and keep submitting to them, and maybe the other magazine, haha. ;D
However, I can't show you guys the card until DECEMBER 1st!! Haha! That's just one of the rules so its kept fresh for the readers, etc. etc. Anyway, come the first of december I will show it off to you guys then! :D
published,
