Huge awesome news!!! I've been chosen! (plus a tangle, a letter to CBS, fun stuff)

I should say, my artwork has been chosen  ... for publication!!!!! Five pieces will appear in a book called "Zentangle: Oodles of Doodles", by North Lights Publishing, (which did several other Zentangle books).  I won't spoil it by showing them here. You'll just have to wait for the book to come out -- scheduled for December. I think I know what I am giving for Christmas this year! - lol
I just have to say how excited and honored I feel! This is my first time being published! It's been a long time goal of mine. I just needed to get around to actually submitting something to someone. ( Which is kind of like wishing to win the lottery, but not buying a ticket, right?) When I ran across an announcement that they were accepting submissions for this book I did it. Call it beginner's luck that my first attempt worked out so well! 

Along similar lines, I sent a letter to CBS Sunday Morning News in response to a writing campaign started by Rick and Maria, the original creators of the Zentangle Method. Here is the letter and the tile I sent with it, and the envelope:

The envelope I used was actually a cd/dvd square envelope with a round cellophane window. The actual address, stamp, etc is on the reverse, of course.

The End
