Thanks again everyone. I too remember trying to name some of these doilies Mary Jo. That was fun, Miss being able to post like that. But alas all the world isn't as wonderful as you guys....................
Empress Busy Bee. publishers have their own ideas, and this is what became of the Birthstone Doilies.
I have been anxiously awaiting this leaflet!! All of us are so proud for you! Being a part of Crochetville to help spread the word, just think of all the royalies! Ha! Congratulations. Sorry to disillusion you, But I won't be getting royalties on this book. Maybe later when I have reputation. Okay so we all have fantasies..............:D
It is a wonderful feeling though to see my designs in print.

I finally got to see my booklet this afternoon. http://simplycrochet.org/forum/images/smilies/woohoo-022.gif I received all my doilies back today and my copies of the booklet.
Wow what an awesome moment to see it as a reality. A moment that will never come again.
It was nice to have my doilies come home to roost too. Though I already plan on using most of them as gifts this Christmas.
I am impressed with what a nice job they did on the booklet. I am very pleased.
