Artful Blogging Summer 2010
by Amanda on May 10, 2010
I have a list. A list of 100 or so things that I would like to achieve at some point in my life. Do you write those kinds of lists?
One of my hopes on my list was to have some of my photography published in a magazine. This month, that little dream has come true, as an article I wrote about Mocking Bird is in the gorgeous magazine, Artful Blogging.
I was honoured to be asked to share a little bit of my blogging life with the Artful Blogging readers and am thrilled to have a 6 page spread. I’m actually yet to see a copy as it went on sale a day or so after I left for Sydney, so hopefully it will be waiting for me upon my return to Canada.
You can read all about how I approach blogging and what decisions I’ve made to make Mocking Bird what it is. The Artful Blogging Summer 2010 issue is in book stores now.

I also wanted to say a huge thank you for all the amazing responses to the Creative Soul mates post. It seems that many of us feel the same way about it. I want to individually respond to each comment when I can. Unfortunately, my time is very limited at the moment as my grandfather is extremely ill.
I don’t believe in apologising for absences on blogs but if the posts do seem a little sporadic, that is why. Thanks for understanding. Have a great day and go hug a family member.

What a great spread! It looks gorgeous, from what I can see of it!
How did you manage to do this? Getting published is on my list too. I have a huge list! :):)
I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope he gets well soon! Just post as sporadic as you want, we understand. *hugs*
Congrats on being published! What an exciting adventure! :) I absolutely love your blog…so pretty and…relaxing, actually. I come here and just sort of zen. It’s quite nice.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I’ll send some good thoughts to him for you.

Just wanted to say I love your work and I follow your blog, and it’s all just positively lovely. Congrats on the magazine!!!
yay!! so happy for you…..beautiful spread!!

Wow, congratulations! I think it is the most exciting this to accomplish something on “The List” (which I think everyone has, whether it is written or just in their heart). And a six-page spread?! I haven’t heard of the magazine before but it definitely sounds like something to check out.
p.s. I’m sending many warm thoughts your way for the hardships you’re facing. Take the time you need to take care of yourself and family :)
congratulations! i find your blog extremely inspirational… I feel like i can relate to you. Hope you grandpa gets better x
Congrats on your publication!!!!
Marthe, one of the editors at Stampington emailed me to ask me if I wanted to work with them for the issue.
Thank you, Brittany.
Thanks Kasey, Crystal, Rebekka, Sheena, Liya and Veronica!
Yes, Hannah, it feels really good to tick one of them off. :)
Thanks to everyone for the warm comments about my grandad. :)
i, too, believe in lists! congratulations!
great news, I too find your blog inspirational!
so sorry about your grandpa :(
Well done! I truly enjoy reading your entries about the little, finer things in life. On a whim, after reading about your Sydney visit, I booked flights for next weekend, and I plan to revisit some Glebe memories :)
Have a safe trip home. x
This is so exciting! It is my dream also to have my photography in a magazine. Congratulations, and may it not be the last!
i saw the issue and couldn’t help but smile for you. ; )
prayers for your grandfather.

sorry about your grandfather.. hope he gets better soon..
congratulations amanda – it looks great! it’s so nice to get recognition, and in your case, it’s very well deserved =)
i’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. you’re right about not apologizing for blog absences, but sometimes it’s good just to tell why one is “away”. i hope your grandfather is on his way to recovery!!
finally: happy blog birthday! (a little behind schedule on this one, i know). you’re doing a great job with your blog; i’m looking forward to the next mocking bird year!
i haven’t got a family member in the vicinity at the moment, so i’m sending a hug to you instead.
t,
This article is what brought me to your blog! Beautiful photos. I’ll look forward to reading through your posts.
