Anybody have the December issue of Scrapbooking Memories?

[TalyQ]

I was supposed to have a layout in there (Abi with Christmas Lights) and they said the would email me a free copy. But I still have not received it so far. So I just wanted to see if anybody has that copy and can just check whether my layout has actually been published or not. Thank you.

I wish I could help you Taly, but I used to buy regularly and don't any mor (clutter reduction strategy!) - I would email them and ask, from my experience they are very good at replying quickly.
One thing I have to say though, they are not good at sticking to what they say they are going to publish. I have had a couple of pages accepted, I have dutifully deleted from the gallery as per their terms and to this day, no sign in print! I hope this is not the case with yours.
As I say though, email them & ask - I look forward to seeing your page in the Published LO's gallery!

Sometimes it's many months before it shows up in print and several months later before you get your copy. So far, they've always done it, though. I've had 3 in there and another one accepted for publication.

Thanks for the advice. Now I went back through all the correspondence and compared to the current issue numbers. It sees that they moved the Christmas layout to next years December issue. I also have another one accepted, I thought for January, but in the letter I got today, it says that it's for April. So, I guess I just need to be patient. I also got a contract in the mail a few days ago - I was not so sure what it is about, but it seems I have to send it back so that my layout can be published.... thanks again.

lol yes, that is exactly what I mean when I say they are not frightfully good at doing what they say!
I have had quite a number of layouts which they have published, but an irritating one or two hanging!
Glad to hear you have it straightened up!
