This past summer I had finally reached the point where I was contemplating the idea of growing up and getting a "real job." What that job would be I couldn't even imagine, but I wondered aloud to a friend whether it was time for me to do something more stable. That very afternoon, I received an email asking whether I'd be interested in having my own monthly column in Family Circle. Ummm....YES!!
Shortly after that email, the floodgates opened and just like that, I'm way too busy to consider pursuing another career. Instead, I'll take it as a sign from the Universe that I should just continue doing what I love. It's a reminder that good things do come to those who wait.
I couldn't have asked for a better beginning to 2011 and the fact that my job description now includes a mandate to scour flea markets, antique stores, and thrift shops...well really, I can't think of anything more perfect for me. So a big THANK YOU to Family Circle for giving me this opportunity. I'm loving it!

Want to follow me on my adventures to see what I find and how I transform those finds? My DIY column debuts in the January 2011 issue, on newsstands now.
Congratulations! That is awesome! I am trying to catch up on blogs now that the Christmas rush is past so sorry for the delayed reaction :) I'm really excited for you- sounds perfect!
