Could I be speechless? NAH!

Well personally, I felt almost speechless - but not quite! What kind of blogger would I be then?! So, in case you haven't had the pleasure of hearing this and are wondering what that cute little graphic in the sidebar is all about... insert drum roll please... Holly at Lakehouse Dry Goods has written a super spectacular article all about us humble little quilty crafty bloggers and it will be featured in the new issue of McCalls Quilting due to hit the news stands next week. Stop by HollyBlog and Quilters buzz to "read all about it".

And guess what! I was lucky enough to make the cut and don't you just know I'm giddy about it. I'm just one on the list of VERY CREATIVE bloggers out there and am feeling very proud to be included in the same breath. Thanks Holly for putting this all together in your very precious spare time.

On top of that, I have some more mind blowing news - at least for myself so excuse the following little cheerleading session.

{ My upcoming book "Spotlight on Scraps" is now available for pre-sale on Amazon. }

Do the happy dance... Oh yeah! Yee-Haw! Don't believe me?... Click here and pinch me. :) I even have a couple of book signings scheduled for next Spring. Maybe I'll need to be very literary and get a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows. Hmm.... Ok, so maybe not, but at the very least I'll put on some lipstick.
