I am so honored to be featured on Phyllis Hoffman DePiano's Blog The Ribbon In My Journal today. Phyllis is the president of Hoffman Media, publisher of Victoria, Southern Lady, Tea Time, Cooking with Paula Deen and many other gorgeous magazines. I have loved the magazines Hoffman Media publishes since I can remember. {I still have each and every one of my Victoria Magazines}, they are top quality, beautiful issues that never go out of style, they truly are classics!
I have admired Phyllis for so long, , like me, she was a stay at home Mom when she started her business. Today, her company has grown into a multi faceted business that brings beauty and joy to millions of readers. Phyllis and I became friends and colleagues when she found me on line and became a customer of FrenchGardenHouse.
I love what she writes on her blog : "Our company has some of the most talented people who bring happiness to millions of readers through the pages they create every day." I am truly blessed to be featured on The Ribbon In My Journal, please join the giveaway we are having there and enter to win a set of dishes from FrenchGardenHouse.
