I am very, super excited to be able to show you this today...it's here (sort of) but yes!...that's my book cover up there. I can hardly believe it. Full circle moment from when I first posted about it here, which seems like ages ago. The official title is "Blogging for Bliss: Crafting Your Own Online Journal, A Guide for Crafters, Artists & Creatives Of All Kinds" (ok, so how about "BFB" for short?) and it's now available for pre-order (RIGHT NOW!) over at Amazon and Barnes and Noble . It will be available at your local bookstore August 4th. Pinch me.
A labor of love, much like childbirth, as I was told it would be by my fabulous team at Red Lips 4 Courage (the same producers of "The French Inspired Home" and many more fab books) I say "team" because it really took a village to write this book. These women are rock stars, so please cheer and scream if you ever are lucky enough to work with them.
What a journey this has been, and I know how difficult it was to support me while working on this book without knowing what the heck it was about. You deserve roses and cupcakes. This book wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful and supportive blogging community I am lucky to be a part of. A circle of light, love, creativity beyond imagination. Again, that village thing.
The book! What is it about?! I think the title gives most of it up, but it's chock full of how- to's, creating your own unique blog style and also spotlighting some of our favorite super creative bloggers (there are over 50 featured!), how they got started, what blogs they read and much more. It's a 'must have' book for anyone who has a blog (or is thinking about starting one). I hope it will be a source of reference but more importantly, i-n-s-p-i-r-a-t-i-o-n. AND It's so darn pretty inside too, if I do say so myself. The art director, Jocelyn, was able to lay out what seemed to be all up in my head, vacuum it out and transfer it onto pages. Glorious pages! It sparkles, really. From head to toe, front to back. Dazzling and yummy.
You can read more about the book on Lark/Sterling Publications website here. I'll stop rambling and hope you order a copy (or two, or three...hey, it would make a great gift?) and THANK YOU for coming by my blog and lending your support and encouragement. Thank you, thank you. I am truly grateful and hope you enjoy the book! (gulp). ~xo
