Jenn's over the top, dreamy affair in NC last fall was published in this Italian magazine. Jenn deserves all the accolades and world wide attention she got for this, it was amazing.
Woo Hoo! I feel very America's Next Top Model in Italian Vogue! (Yes, I'm a sucker for all of those Top Model shows, ) But I have a feeling I'd be voted off the episode for that stiff pose and lack of "finding the light". And I'm more suited to be an Italian grandma making pasta than a sleek super model.
But hey! This is not something that I ever would have dreamed I'd see and I'm tickled pink about it. A photo of me in a European publication?
pictured: Natasha, Dee, Lori, Jenn, Andrea, and me
That is me in the top left, I was helping decorate for the event and put some of the decorations on my head. I do tend to do that sort of thing. In the bottom right photo, Dee Foust is wearing one of the crowns that I made (shameless plug! Tutorial available here ). That is beautiful Jenn strolling across the meadow in the larger photo.
I have wonderful memories of the weekend in the mountains, with great friends old and new. Thanks again, Jenn!
This pretty weekend was also covered in Sonia's Creating Vintage Charm, an indie magazine that is really well done. I think that the fairy tale interlude is probably being published in a zillion other magazines too, it was pure photo op, all the way through and the talented Tiffany was there to snap it up.
Seriously, there wasn't a spot anywhere that you didn't feel compelled to point a camera at. It was that beautiful.
Sonia and I got to sit together during craft day at Once Upon a Dream and hung out a bit during the weekend. I plan on being a regular buyer of her zine. As much as I love reading blogs, its nice to have an actual magazine in your hands to flip through too.
And she fills it with charm, just like the title.
Funny, this photo didn't make any publications….or Top Model, even though, in my mind I was using all the modelling tips that I'd learned by being a faithful follower of the show.
Of course, I spent my youth watching "I Love Lucy" and that might have sunk in more than "America's Next Top Model" did.
On a completely different subject and one that ticks me off almost as much as losing Picnik, have you heard that Google Friend Connect is closing too? I'm wondering, will I lose the followers on that list? What do you know about it?
If you read my blog on Google Reader, but got there by subscribing on my side bar with Google Friend Connect, maybe you should subscribe directly on Google Reader, or I could just vanish from your list. I really am not sure what will happen. But I'd hate to lose you as a "Friend" even though Friend Connect is gone!
Beth has a good post about it here.
I know where to find you. No fear Karla.
wow, look at you, a super star..that is so coool!..I grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mts…..my hubby and I take our motorcycle up there every fall and ride….I get to see my family and also see the beautiful mts…they are so beautiful any time of the year..
hugs

Super Model! You all look fabulous and you so do not look like a grandmother!! Crazy. It was a wonderful dreamy time. I wish I could go back again. I have to get all my addresses now and save them someplace! That is crazy with google connect. why would they do this? It is just so easy to click on updated blogs and friends and read. I would cry if I lost everyone. boo hoo. Hope all is well in Fairy land. Grace xoox
That’s so exciting! looks like it was a fantastic weekend!
I just checked & I’m subscribed to your blog in Google Reader, so hopefully that won’t go away 🙂 It’s like Facebook – just when you get used to it, they change it!
Karla, you just crack me up! How exciting to be published in the Italian mag! I love your silliness and having a bit of fun in life. I don’t know anything about Google Connect. I just read your blog here.
I just want to share some good news: we are having a new grandbaby this fall. It’s a miracle cause the father, our son, recently finished with chemo and radiation! We are praying for a healthy full term baby! Oh such joy!

Now that is a special kind of magic: Getting to relieve the event over and over again as you see it through different (publication) eyes. My favorite part, of course, was all the smiles. You have a great and infectious smile, Karla!
PS Sorry about all the social connections shutting down. That’s frustrating. I’m already subbed to this blog directly through Google Reader, and it’s good to know I’ll be able to continue knowing when you are sharing your sparkling life.
Some real stunner photos, but frankly, Karla, my favorite was the last one of you and the tractor! Made me smile this gloomy day!
Yes, Google Reader will still be up and running. I hope that the people who are on GR from Friend Connect stay there and dont disappear.

Molto bene…mi piace. Bellissimo!
Google friends connect or not, you are on tops on my rounds of blogs I go to everytime I connect to the www. Gypsy Rose is my name, Stalking’s my game…lol..well, something like that.
And law…now that you’re a global super model you may have to get bodyguards. How wonderful for you. Now that you have fame…I hope fortune is in your back pocket.
Oh, Karla, this is so exciting!
