I'm super excited to announce that I was contacted by the editor of Artful Blogging this past summer about submitting an article about Bluebirdbaby. I had stumbled across Artful Blogging this past spring when Sasa brought it home for me. I was immediately inspired by the beautiful photos, articles, and just plain amazing quality of the magazine.
So I wrote my article in July, submitted my photos, and waited and waited for the winter issue to come out. I approached the article like I was writing a blog post. Writing comes so naturally to me. I was one of those kids who turned in 20 pages fictional stories to my fourth grade teacher. I love to write. I love to take pictures. And I love spreading the happiness love. So I was thrilled to write a little blurb about Bluebirdbaby for Artful Blogging.
I definitely focused on the happiness I've found through blogging; the amazing amount of support from readers like you, the unexpected and so very sweet e-mails I receive from readers on a daily basis that just make me happy to be alive. Blogging has provided me with a way to focus on the positivity of my days. And the longer I focus on that, write about it and share it with all of you, the more positivity each day seems to hold. It's like some crazy magic spell...blogging makes me happy. You all make me happy. So thank you, thank you, thank you. And please, pick up a copy of Artful Blogging at your local bookstore. It's an amazingly inspiring magazine and you won't be disappointed.
For all you locals, you can purchase it at the Maine Coast Bookshop! (And say hi to Sasa when you do!)
In other news...the little one and I had an amazing day today just chilling at home. More to come tomorrow, but for now I'll share some leaf raking photos. We raked the entire backyard, she and I. And we did a fantastic job, if I do say so myself. She is an expert little raker, and loves to shoo the chickens away from our leaf piles. She is also an expert little leaf pile diver. So much fun. I remember this being my favorite time of year as a kid. Looks like she's following in my shoes...!
Happy Fall! Happy almost Halloween! (Oh gosh... I need to finish a costume!) And Happy Thursday!
