Today's the Day

Big day.

Launching day for Issue One of Etzcetera Magazine.

 

It's been a mammoth few months and somehow I launched a magazine. Which is quite surreal to me and I am still checking that it really did happen. It was one of those projects that just felt right and evolved and took on a life of itself and all of a sudden it was all happening and no longer just this thought in my head.

It was a reality.

Usually, when a deadline is looming or I'm in the middle of a major project, I get stressed out and just want the thing finished. But this time, that didn't happen. I genuinely loved every minute of pulling this together and I've already started on Issue 2.

Oh there was one fleeting moment where it was late, my eyes were sore from staring at the computer screen and there were a couple of little issues happening and I felt fed up with the magazine but that was a teeny moment and passed quickly.

I feel excited about this new direction and have so many ideas and plans and things!

I'll be back later today with some thank yous because there are some people who really need some public thanking from me who have supported and helped me enormously over the past few months.

i have already blogged about it:

i have just taken a quick look through the new Etzcetera Magazine and i am in love, what a wonderful place to sit and get lost in. it could just be my new favourite thing.. looking forward to spending many hours with a hot cuppa curled up reading this online mag. if you havent signed up for this magazine hop to it, i hadnt even opened it yet and knew already from the vast list of wonderful ladies who have been asked to be involved in it that it is going to be something very special.

wishing you all the best with it, and cant wait to sit and have a proper read.
