Book Deal

Stamped Doily
Composition on glass
New block print set
My Heart is Yours
I've been wanting to tell you about this since last year but I couldn't until it was official: I'm writing a book about hand carved stamps for Lark Books
that will be out in the Spring of 2012!
The hardest part so far has been not being able to share what I've been crafting
for the book with you guys, but I hope it will be worth the wait :)

You are going to sell out - tell the publisher to print more than they expect to sell. Awesome news. Spring 2012- I will try to be patient. Carolina

PS - while you are at it, if you have a "resources" page in the book, tell all those companies to be aware of when your book is coming out - tell them your blog readers will be very disappointed if we can't get our hands on the supplies.
