Default I'm so excited to share my news

I was asked just today to write a blog for our local thrift store's new website. I entered one of my recycled fabric quilts in a drawing contest they were holding, and was contacted and asked to write about how I make and donate comfort quilts and use recycled fabric from their store.
After I did as requested, they contacted me again and asked if I would be interested in being a regular contributor.
My excitement is so great because they pay for submissions with gift cards to the store. How awesome that I can share about quilting, recycling, etc. AND get free fabric to make more comfort quilts in the process!!!
The site is not quite up and running but will be soon, and I have already submitted my first blog, because they want to use my story as the first entry!!!
