I am so pleased to announce that the magazine I have been Slaving Away working on is up! I absolutely love how it turned out, and it was so fun to be able to collaborate with some talented women. There are beautiful articles by Megan Conley (who’s writing makes me weep), Heather Johnson (who offers great parenting advice), Stephanie Lonas (my almost sister in law), Heather Mildenstein (amazing mom and friend), Tana Hallows (talented business lady), Melissa Coleman (the most amazing baker), Kristen Hills (talented baker as well), and Julianne Weis (dear friend from college). I also was able to with some talented artists—Sarah Jane, Leah Naomi, Bri Webb, and Brittany Scott to make sure that the artwork was just perfect, and reflected the mood of the magazine.
So go on, check it out over here, you will love it, I promise!
And inside the magazine , I have designed these chalkboard quotes..
Obviously my obsession with chalkboard continues.
I hope you enjoy the magazine! Be sure to check out my article on learning from failure.
