I was just a little excited when my sweet friend Grace sent me an email about the Silver Bella feature in the November issue of Country Living last week. There is a photo of the editors at my table and my name in the photo caption! How fun! I went a bought 2 copies the other day at Barnes and Noble (one for me and one for mom) and the guy ringing me out said quite loud in front of the entire line of shoppers, "Well, if you're buying 2 copies that must mean you're in the magazine!" And me (blushing) said in a very quiet and mousy voice, "um, well...yes, i suppose i am in the magazine". He then said loudly (even louder than the first time), "Congratulations! Where are you and what for? If you show me i will give you 20% off your purchase!". At this point there was a line of about 12 people staring at me in awe wondering what magazine it was and who was i exactly. I was ready to slide down to the floor and hide behind the Christmas card fixture. I said, "Oh my goodness, it's no big deal at all. All you can see of me is my nose and chin...and my name." He persisted i show him and that he then show the cashier next to him that was becoming increasingly interested along with the rest of the check out line. I think i swiped my debit card about 16 times just trying to speed up the transaction. He was very jolly and bid me a great evening. I ran out of there, got in the car, started the engine and turned up the music...then proceeded to laugh out loud for about 5 minutes. I then regained my composure and took off.
woo hoo!!!

one time my husbands hands made it onto "Nashville Star" this country music American Idol type TV show. And a pillow I picked out as a design assistant made it into a photo shoot but neither of us got 20% off anything so there ya go! Lol.
So great - can't wait to get my issue!

Hey Candice,
I cracked up when I read your blog today, because I just did a similar post on mine about how my hands and bangs made the magazine. I guess we are destined for stardom! LOL!
Happy Day!
