Ah Shucks! I Made the Cover!

Well slap me silly and call me Billy Bob, I made the cover of Better Homes and Gardens! It may be a small little insert but there it is. Wow who would have thought that me Pam Gracia would EVER land on the cover of anything? The entire magazine is worth buying. Johanna Parker, a fellow PFATTIE and friend, has some awesome candlesticks in the magazine along with other designers who have great ideas for the upcoming Holiday season. This year they combined Halloween and Christmas....Good Job BHG!

Now why on earth wouldn't you make the cover, Pam? In my opinion, I think one of your creations should have graced the entire page!!!!!!!!!!
I am having a friend in the US send a copy to me. I sure wish it was the aussie BHG. Our BHG mag, is soooooooooooo boring.......lol.
Congratulations Pam!!!!!

Congratulations Pam! You have put your heart and soul out with your art for quite a few years now. No one can take the years spent nor your unique imagination away. This is proof that wonderful things happen to those who deserve it! This will last many years for you, I still have people that call or email and remember Quote making the cover of CM. I know first hand all the goode things that this will bring! Doing the dance for you~~ Yippee!!!
