Could somebody please pinch me? I just found out that the December 2008 Holiday Gift Guide issue of O, The Oprah Magazine is OFFICIALLY OUT to subscribers in some parts of the country. While I already knew I had gotten Heritage Makers listed as one of the O List gifts, I did NOT know that we had been chosen as ONE OF OPRAH'S ALL-TIME FAVORITE THINGS!!!!! (Sorry, that definitely calls for multiple exclamation points!!!)
But that's what I see on the spread featuring our storybooks along with other items she's adored for ages & hyped/promoted, including the Josh Groban CD, cupcakes, a turkey, jams, bubble bath, some overpriced plain notecards (no offense, Oprah, but we can do MUCH better!), a grilling gadget, Hope in a Jar facial creme by Philosophy, and her 5 top books of all-time. That's pretty cool company to keep!
So needless to say, I'm flying HIGHER than Cloud 9 this week! I don't even have the magazine in my own hands yet as my subscription hasn't been delivered yet (despite daily harrassment of my postal carrier). But I have these beautiful images as proof that dreams (even the biggest ones you didn't even think you could believe in) CAN and DO come true!
Thank you Oprah and the O Magazine staff for your recognition of giving the gift of story and the gift of heritage as a really meaningful, truly personal way to make a difference in the lives of many. You've made my Christmas THE BEST EVER!
Here's Oprah Winfrey's Storybook that started it all! One of Oprah's All-Time Favorite Gifts!
This tiny 5x5 storybook had a huge impact on a very influential person! Many people can say Oprah made a difference in their lives, but not many people can say they've made a difference in Oprah's life! But with the power of storybooking, I was able to touch the life of a very busy, very powerful woman.
