Only a few more months until my book is in print. I still have to make it through the publisher's editing and proofs, but it is clearly moving forward. I recently found the link on Amazon and posted it on Facebook. The amazing part to me is that people immediately started pre-ordering it! What a shock!

The dawning realization that people, other then my immediate family, are actually going to read and are in fact excited about this is both amazing and scary. I feel the added pressure of making sure it's absolutely amazing along with the surge of excitement and adrenaline that I hope will carry me through the rest of this process.

Continuing to look toward the future while experiencing the present as fully as possible!

There are so many inspiring blogs out there. Gretchen Miller's Creativity in Motion is one of them. You should definitely check it out.

Here is something she opened up to her readers and I would like to do the same. Have fun creating!

The first 5 people to comment on this blog posting will receive an artful surprise from me sometime in 2013.  It might be a paper stash collection, a quilt square, or even a felted bag!  There will likely be no warning & it will happen whenever the mood strikes me over the next 12 months.  The catch? Those 5 people must make the same offer on their blog to pay forward the creative goodness…
