Belle!
I gotta' send out a couple great big thank you's to Jenny Doh and Morgan McLaughlin of Belle Armoire. This article hit the news stands May 1, and it was more than I ever imagined. And... my name on the cover made my mother (ok, and me) very happy. Between my sisters, mother, father and me a minimum of 15 - 20 copies were purchased. The only people not impressed were my daughters who completely and insultingly shrugged it off as, "Yeah, Mom. What-ever!" Well, "Hmmmpfff!" to them and thank you Jenny and Morgan very much for the kind words and attention! It is greatly appreciated.
WOW!! Congratulations - that is so great and very well-deserved! I'll have to run out and grab a copy!!

You deserve all the accolade's that come your way. You are beyond talented and I quite imagine seeing your name in print will be a regular thing. How can the industry NOT introduce the world to you!?

Huge Congratulations! Well Deserved. Your daughters sound just like mine, 13 going on 25. There certainly not easily impressed are they? I will have to go out and get my copy...Jamie
