This photo did not run in my local paper. . . . but it could have. That counts, right? What? No? Hey! My blog, my delusion!

Kiss me, I’m not famous. But I have fabulous friends.

What did run in the online version of our local paper is this; Astoria Mom Finds Success Online. It’s a wonderful article written by Sheila of StylishHome.com and it posted on Wednesday. And when I found out about it on Thursday, I promptly spammed my Facebook friends.

Hey, look, I’m in the local paper.

And my friends, bless their hearts, spammed back. While I have a feeling that the article won’t make the print version, I’m not sure it would be as exciting as seeing people you love and who love you, tirelessly “recommending” the article all over their Facebook streams. It was local girl makes good for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon, and I felt the love people. I felt the love.

I also shamelessly printed out a copy of the article for Mother-in-law. Who will crow to all her friends who don’t  even know me. Because I may be 41, but I’ve not outgrown parental pride. Good thing I married into some!

Anyhow, I’m just sending a little shout out to my friends for all their support. You people really do represent. (I don’t know what that means, exactly, but let’s run with it.) And I adore you for it!

On a totally different note: I have photos up of my newest refashioning project over on Mireio.
