Oh thank you guys! I was going to wait and reply after I actually saw the magazine, but Linda - it must just be those guys that take the huge awards - that get theirs first!

I am just praying the image reproduced well!

I told Tom, my palms will be sweating until I see it!

Congratulations Beth! I can't wait to see it as well.

Yay, Beth!!! 'Bout time woman!

Congratulations, Beth!

Which issue is it in? The last one I got was October/November, and it's not there. Has the next one come out already?

Hi Beth,

I just got my issue today. The painting looks great. Congratulations! I hope this recognition is the precursor of bigger and better things to come.

Also, thanks so much for the acknowledgment. Much appreciated.

Thanks again everyone.

I figured this is my 15 minutes and since my copy finally arrived, here it is! (I don't know if you'll be able to read it.)

Oh... and
Much deserved!

Elizabeth,
You are my inspiration!!!!!

:thumbsup: Dorm Lady Makes Bigtime. Congratulations Beth! Ben has always been my favorite of yours and the lady with the book holding the glasses.

You are an inspiration to the rest of us "Dorm Ladies". Now I can tell everyone, that I knew you when and I've seen you in your PJ's drinking that funny pink stuff.

Beth,

I've been away from this forum and haven't talked to you in awhile so you can imagine my surprise when I came here tonight and saw this thread that Tom started!!

And to think, we knew you when.... ehehhehe!! I am seriously impressed and so proud of you! I guess your faith in that portrait has always been on the right path - congratulations and we will catch up later! I have not seen the magazine yet - and I may have had heart failure if I hadn't seen this before I flipped through the pages and accidentally saw it!

Love!

Denise
