Article update

I finally heard back from the editor this week on my article.  She liked it and thought it was very thorough, just needs one additional side bar on raising the fine silver.  I sent this off yesterday.  I will mail the ring to them on Monday, then they will send me the contracts.  They've decided to send me two contracts, one for each part of the article (wax carving and setting the stone).  Once they get that back, they will pay me!  The other bit of news on this is that the article is now scheduled for January 2012 (vs. March 2012).
