Signed books are shipping now!

My personal inventory of books has arrived - yippeee! So exciting to see a big huge box full of 'em.

I am selling signed copies for just $16.00 (plus tax/shipping) right here, right now! Just click the "buy now" button from the sidebar on the left to purchase via PayPal or credit card. 

Thought I'd share a couple page spreads from the book - there's a chapter on organizing and storage, basic design concepts, and my favorite tools and techniques. Then I have 19 project tutorials to inspire you to dig in to your stash and make something awesome!

What is it about a new postcard that's so exciting?

Just had to share this lovely 6" x 9" two-sided promotional postcard that my publisher designed for me for mailing and handing out. Getting ready to lick and stick some stamps and also do some "IRL" pinning on community bulletin boards. Gonna get my local townsfolk crafting, baby!  #craftyourstash

Autographed copies for sale right here starting in September!

Great news!

I should have my own inventory of Craft Your Stash for sale by the first week of September.

All books bought directly from me will be signed and priced at $16.00 plus tax and shipping via US Mail (list price is $16.99).

And if they don't sell, they will become an integral part of my home décor, lol.

I'll be selling signed books online and in-person at craft shows and other events. Stay tuned for shopping links right here, coming soon!

Click here to see a few preview pages on Amazon.

My advance copy arrived today! Oooohh...aaaahh!!

My new book is available for pre-order!

Craft Your Stash releases in October 2014, but you can pre-order your copy now on Amazon!

Each of the 19 craft projects gives you a grand excuse to dip into some of your favorite stashes like paper, fabric, paints, rub-ons, stamps, ribbons and glitter.

I have something for everyone - greeting cards, papercrafts, sewing projects, wallhangings, ornaments and more. The instructions are beginner-friendly if you want to follow my design choices, but the projects are also set up so you can go rogue and do it your way, too.

There are chapters on my favorite craft tools, techniques and organization tips, plus some design basics so your craft projects will turn out fabulous!

We all buy a ton of craft supplies, which makes us feel great, right? This book is my way of helping you enjoy the second half of that shopper's high - let's break out the stash and make something awesome!
