I know sometimes people are hesitant to get started, and goodness knows, I get my fair share of rejections, but I think my experiences go to show that it can be done, even if you don't have a lot of prior experience.Melissa J.

Congratulations on all of your publication triumphs. I am having a hard time finding Bead Trends locally, for some reason, although the one copy I managed to get my hands on when I was traveling in NYC was really beautiful!Melissa J.

I gives other designers courage and inspiration. I probably would have started submitting a lot earlier had I been reading encouraging and helpful blogs like yours.Michelle Machhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250447711658920958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-47338815883043953882008-12-17T23:47:00.000-08:002008-12-17T23:47:00.000-08:00Mary, Rupa and Andrew, Thanks so much for all of t...Mary, Rupa and Andrew, Thanks so much for all of the kind comments. They mean a great deal to me, especially coming from such talented individuals as yourselves!<BR/><BR/>Andrew, I can't imagine what life will be like once the SO is in school. Part of me dreads it, and part of me is looking forward to it. I think the SO feels the same way!Melissa J.

I always go to the web or blog of each contributor each time the issue is released. I, too, am celebrating my first time in Stringing with the Winter issue and my last publication this year. I have my own design company Tesori Trovati. I have loved the thrill of seeing my work in print, I don't think it could ever get old! I have been in Bead Trends 4x this year, and already more for 2009! My goal is to be published 1x per month in 2009. I see that we are on the same page! Best of luck! I like your blog very much especially the fun stories of the SO (mine are so not that short anymore!). I will look forward to seeing your designs (and mine!) in print soon!

Just imagine how you'll have to fill your days once the SO goes to school and eventually leaves the nest? You'll be an unstoppable force!Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-44131393816718546962008-12-16T09:59:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:59:00.000-08:00Congrats...gotta pick up the latest issue and droo...Congrats...gotta pick up the latest issue and drool over the designs....RupaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873276500393933726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-77905674568674876892008-12-15T00:56:00.000-08:002008-12-15T00:56:00.000-08:00Congratulations Melissa.
