After waiting over 3 1/2 months for this French magazine... (because my guess is that they NEVER sent it to me... the first copy OR the replacement they promised)...
I FINALLY received a copy from Larissa, who lives in Brazil! Yes, I had to ask someone in Brazil to send me a magazine that's published in France! I was determined & not going to give up! LOL! In return, I mailed her a magazine she'd been trying unsuccessfully to receive for 2 months. She was worried, though, that the cost of the magazine she wanted was more than the one I wanted. I said, "Larissa, I don't care. I was beginning to think I'd have to purchase an airline ticket to Mireval if I wanted a copy of that magazine, so this is much cheaper!"
It was a publication call for rainbow-themed layouts. I guess you already know how much I love rainbows, so it was a no-brainer. I actually submitted a layout I made last summer & it was picked up. It's my first time being published in a paper magazine. Only published in an online mag prior to this.
I told Bryn she's now famous in France. She smiled...
I'm happy you FINALLY got your hands on the magazine. I'd be going crazy waiting to see my work in a publication!! Congratulations! And, OMG, that page is WAY, WAY cool :) Yay for you!!!!!!
