NO....not another tattoo thread. I'm talking about Stampington's newest publication Artful Blogging. Talk about being on the cutting edge! This magazine totally rocks. It's a thick one, like Somerset Life was. It's packed with terrific visuals and wonderful stories about being a blogger. I had been to many of the sites before, not all of them - but having it in print, in my hands, is way cool. Really, you need this....so look for it August 1st, or order at Stampington. It's a keeper!
I'm proud to say the Street Team was featured in this debut issue!!! Staci interviewed me and printed comments by fellow teamers Deryn Mentock, Tina Shoaga, and Audrey Hernandez. They also featured artwork by Deryn and Penny Stuart....Pen's even ON THE COVER!!! Whoop whoop whoop! Got get a copy, you'll LOVE IT! Oh! Can't forget to say that there are other "challenge blogs" featured, namely Wednesday Stamper, hosted by our own teamers Belinda Schneider and Tina Shoaga. Way to go girls!
And how about THIS little tidbit of news.....the first blog on my list to visit from the magazine was Susanna's Sketchbook. I was drawn in by her photography and read she lives here in NJ so I wrote her. CAN YOU STAND IT? We live in the same town! No, really, we do. Say it with me......HOW COOL IS THAT? What are the odds. I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
Keep spreading the love with your mail art and send in your links. SOME GREAT STUFF has already been posted on the left, and THAT means there is awesome mail art being delivered RIGHT NOW! Maybe you'll be getting something in YOUR mailbox. Let's keep it going.....mail art breeds more mail art, whether it's your own addiction or the trickle-down-effect of getting cool mail leading to sending of cool mail and so on and so on.
Congrats to Michelle & everyone. I can't wait to pick this up!

Omigosh, got my copy today! I can't put it down! I am already counting down the days for the next issue as I am totally loving all the blogs that I hadn't seen! The first blog featured had a "bunny" cabinet card...how cool is that? Yes.........., I did get past the bunny to check out all the other wonderful blogs!
This premier issue is GORGEOUS! Congratulations Michelle for having your Crusade published in two mags (Artful Blogging and Somerset Life). Thank you so much for bringing all of us together in such a wonderfully, creative fashion!
YOU ROCK!
