Did my post headline give it away?
That’s my exciting news!!
Beginning with the November 2011 issue, I am officially Contributing Craft Editor for Country Living Magazine! What a dream!! What an amazing publication. What wonderful Senior Associate Editor that I have the privilege to work with- Jourdan Crouch.
A HUGE thank you to all my blog readers for the support you have given me over my few years of crafting and blogging. I’m going to love taking you along for the ride! (… heading off to find the Champagne…)

Huge Congratulations Miss Cathe! You are so deserving of this wonderful position. I must now read County Living Magazine. Your inspiration is intoxicating! Terrific Tuesday news…
Congratulations! What an amazing position and you deserve it!
Congrats. You so deserve this! I have always LOVED this magazine and now I have another reason to love it even more. Can’t wait to start reading your contributions.
Again, congratulations!!!
AMAZING news! You are the perfect candidate for that job!! So glad to hear it! Congratulations!! ~Destiny
They are SOOOOO lucky to have you girl! you should have your OWN magazine!!

Congratulations! So well deserved, I look forward to every issue!
Wow! Congratulations. So very happy for you. Wishing you even more successes.
Congratulations Cathe! You will be an amazing addition to Country Living Magazine!
Cathe, this is so well-deserved! Congratulations! I have loved following you for these past few years and seeing where your gifts have taken you. So exciting!
Congratulations!!!!! This is super, duper, exciting news and you must be over the moon. Your projects are always so inspiring and interesting.
Ironically, I have been ranting all week about the plethora of crappy projects available on the internet. I am a very experienced crafter and I crave inspiration, just like any other woman who loves to create, but being so experienced means it can be difficult is to find projects that are challenging, well made, and something I have never done. There is certainly no lack of projects online with the bajillions of individual’s who blog about crafting (or decorating), hubs like Instructables or Crafty Things, print magazines with a big online presence like Martha Stewart Living or Family Fun, and the new wave of niche, self-published magazines available as e-magazines or in print by MagCloud. I love that there are so many talented women creating art and blogging about it -and getting editorial positions at magazines:)- but the fact is, there aren’t enough women providing inspiration, tutorials, or videos for those of us who are experienced crafters.
I am thrilled that a creative and talented woman, overflowing with great ideas, is being rewarded for sharing those talents on her blog. The universe is rewarding you for so freely sharing your talent and creativity by giving you a bigger platform to distribute ideas and inspire more women. Contributing Craft Editor with Country Living Magazine is a terrific reward for a job well done.
What a dream job! I’m sorry I missed seeing you at the CC, there were quite a few people there! I can’t wait to see what new ideas you come up with! I always love it when they do articles on collections of things because I have about 100 collections of things! “Hi my name is Cindy and I have too much stuff!” Good luck with your new job and congrats!! x0-cindy
How incredibly exciting and well deserved!! I am a new fan of your work and appreciate your generosity. Love seeing good things happen to good people. Congrats!!
Congratulations!!!! You deserve it!! I think you are very creative, and you give me alot of inspiration! i love your blog!
I bought the Epson scanner/printer on recommand from you, I like it a lot! Good luck with your cooperation with CountryLiving! have a greate day! ;p
Congratulations!! That is a super achievement. Even though I don’t know you, I’m proud and happy for you and I’m sure all your family and friends are, too.
Congratulations! You’re perfect for the position. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Wow, just WOW!!!! No one could deserve it more my friend, I am over the moon for you, cannot wait to hear all about it at coffee, let’s get together, yeah yeah yeah…
Big hugs and congratulations, toasting to you today!
