it's already monday bloggers? where did the weekend go? well no matter, today is a great day since i have book news to share! my new book "a compendium of curiosities" started shipping today so it will be in stores soon... i also know that many of you have been emailing me asking if i will be selling signed copies of my book on my website? the answer is yes... however, i will not be selling them until i return from my trip to the uk which will be on 2/24. so, if you can wait until then, there will be a button on the top right of the blog as well as a button on the products section on the website that will go live on 2/24. you can buy a personalized and signed copy and we'll ship them out the following day. of course if you're like me, and not really good at waiting, check your local stores to find out when their shipment is due in. i am so excited for this book to get out into the world. it's filled with about every technique i had in my head and lots & lots of ideas - i'm very proud of it and loved how it turned out!
i also want to thank so many of you for continuing to leave comments daily. it's such fun to read them and just reassures me that yes, many of you enjoy reading my daily ramblings and share in the excitement of creativity. of course another benefit is you never know when i just might give something away - that's always a bonus! so congrats to 2 winners from this weekend's valentine blog post...
just for posting a comment, your names were randomly chosen to receive a set of my "love struck" stamps from stampers anonymous. how cool is that? this set has so many uses not just for valentines (which you'll see throughout the year, trust me). please email me your contact info and we'll get your stamps sent out to you. enjoy today...t!m
love it, love you I mean love your work and stuff

Congrats to the lucky ladies! Love that "Love" ticket stamp!!! Seriously, I'm not a crafty-book buyer, but I know I'll need yours!!! One of your others got me through a Napa --> Phoenix roadtrip! I hope my LSS is open today, can't wait to see when they get it in!

Congrats to the winners!!!! Can hardly wait for the new book to be in my hands... I've had it pre-ordered for awhile :-)) Although I might just have to get an autographed copy also. Have fun in the UK.

I can't wait to see your book, but I will wait to buy it signed by you! Thanks so much for doing that for us.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the book, but tempting to wait for a signed copy -decisions, decisions! Have a great trip to the UK!
