MY OLD COUNTRY HOUSE IS IN FAMILY CIRCLE MAGAZINE

Here was my plan…they (THE FOLKS AT FAMILY CIRCLE MAGAZINE ) told me to keep thing on the down low ….until close to the time the Issue came out..which is  NOVEMBER 1. It was so hard I wanted to tell you guys so bad!!!!!!

…SO- my plan was to tell you my lovely followers… in a week or so, maybe even devise some fun guessing game…like when my Dad sent my stepmom 9 different postcards spelling out….

“W-I-M-B-L-E-T-O-N”

…for her 60th birthday..and then, well he took her to Wimbleton…for her 60th birthday.

Something clever like that…except I would spell out..

….F-A-M-I-L-Y C-I-R-C-L-E!!!

BUT

then I got a text at the gym Friday night …

“Lesli, Congrats, Mary Gen just told me the news…!!!”

…and I halfway did not know what my Mother-in-law meant, until I realized that the November issue of FAMILY CIRCLE is ALREADY OUT and guess what…

FAMCIR

I AM IN IT!!!..

….AND THERE ARE 4 MORE PAGES OF THE KITCHEN!!!

TOMORROW I WILL GO BACK IN TIME AND SHARE WITH YOU HOW IT ALL HAPPENED AND SHOW YOU PICTURES FROM THE SHOOT ETC, WHICH WAS SO VERY FUN.

FOR NOW…..WELL, I AM PINCHING MYSELF!!…..

I bought 4 issues of FAMILY CIRCLE MAGAZINE at Barnes and Noble and then showed my buddy at THE jewelry store next door called “Lou Lou” and she recognized my necklace as one from Lou Lou and is putting the picture at the register!!

SO MUCH FUN!

  1. I Know!! Isnt it exciting!! It was so hard not to tell you!
    Okay about Apartment Therapy and I will put this on the blog….the voting ended this past Thursday and now the judges vote and determine the division winners of each of the 4 divisions. They their scores on the 5 rooms in each division that got the most votes. I am one of the 5 in the warm category!!! So now it is in the judges hands. IF I do win (and how cool would that be!) then immediately and for ONE DAY only they take votes for who is the GRAND PRIZE WINNER out of those 4 division winners….so I wait and then if I win, I celebrate!!! but what I will need your help with is IF I do win and am in that one day vote….EVERYONE WILL HAVE to vote that day!!!!

  2. Lesli — This is SO awesome! Congratulations! My husband told me your husband posted something on Facebook over the weekend giving you props. Now, really, how sweet is that?!!! I can’t wait to go out and buy a copy just to see the photos and celebrate your success. Enjoy the fun!
