I have always dreamed of being published in Mingle Magazine. I simply adore the originality and imagination of this particular publication and now I am so excited to see my dream come true! While pieces of my writing have been published in other magazines, online, on blogs and websites, this article allowed me the unique opportunity to express myself creatively and artistically.

A few months ago, I decided to submit a collection of photos to Mingle Magazine from a Christmas party my husband and I I threw last year.  This party was created and designed to bless hundreds of amazing children’s ministry volunteers who serve in the ministry I oversee. It wasn’t long after my submission I saw the words I won’t soon forget, “Congrats, your submission has been selected to appear in an upcoming issue.” Upon receiving my complimentary copy in the mail my mouth dropped open in shock and happiness to find one of the photos from my article featured on the cover!

This incredibly fun process of dreaming big and managing all of the small details came together for a magical night filled with laughter and memories. I am happy to have the party forever documented in pictures and am ecstatic to share with so many people the fun and beauty of this experience through this great magazine. Mingle Magazine is sold nationwide in places like Barnes and Noble, Costco and many more. This fall and winter edition hit the stands October 1 and will be out until the new year. There is still time to grab your copy today and take a peek at so many creative ideas for unique gatherings. Stay tuned as I will share some more photos that weren’t included in the magazine!
