as i mentioned earlier this month, our home was featured in the local newspaper. news-gazette reporter meg thilmony sweetly asked me if i would be interested in an article about our home, since it was "gorgeous and kid-friendly at the same time." (i told you she was sweet.)
i love that you can see where our cat flaco gnaws on the back of the chairs. yes, our cat gnaws. he draps his body over the top of the chair and gnaws. this is real life people.
meg and i "met" through twitter. i was familiar with her writing through the paper and she recently began reading this blog. i might be a stay-at-home homeschoolin' mama with a teeny tiny etsy shoppe, but it sure is neat how social media can connect me to all sorts of cool people.
and here is where i cue the newsies lyrics. . .
look at that pape with my face beamin'
tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it
but i was a star for one whole minute!
this was such a fun experience. totally unexpected and fun. thanks meg for the ask. i promise to invite you to my next craft night.
