loss for words

excitement doesn't begin to describe the feeling I had when I was perusing Stampington's website and stumbled upon their preview of the new Sew Somerset coming out December 1st

holy-cow my first cover!!!!!!!!!
I knew my Mixed Media Sewing Cards had been accepted as an article but I didn't have a clue that I was in the running for the cover.  Make sure to grab a copy - there are a ton of great articles, techniques and beautiful eye-candy.  I am so touched to be included with all sorts of talented artists.
at a loss for words but if I had sum it up...delighted, surprised, in shock...such a cool opportunity :)
