did ya know?


I'm giddy. The little button on the Amazon listing for my book has changed from "pre-order" to "add to shopping cart"! Big news indeed! (I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk when the new phone books arrived.)

First of all, I would like to let you know that I have a limited number of books available in my etsy shop should you prefer to buy a signed copy directly from me. I will be getting more soon, but for this short time before the holidays, I have 20 copies available.

Now that the book is officially out in the world, I feel like we should have a little "book launch" party. Shall we? I'm not the big party type, but with you, my bloggy readers, I would love to celebrate. Since you can't all come over for cupcakes and coffee, I'll have to come up with another plan.

A give-away perhaps? Yes, that sounds lovely. After all, without you and all of your crafty support, there might not even be a book. Therefore, I will be giving away 3 Cupcake Pincushions!

Ok, so here's the scoop. Between now and December 31st:
1) Send me an email at betzATbetzwhiteDOTcom (replace AT and DOT with appropriate symbols)
2) Put something in the subject line like, "I love cupcakes!"
3) On January 1st I will draw three lucky winners! Please, only one entry per person.

(BTW, thanks for all of the birthday wishes for my son, he had a great day!)

Betz, you are so funny. You make eight zillion felty cupcakes, write two books and move across the country without the blink of an eye! One little mitten is nothing compared to all of that:)

Yay on your book! I have to get one stat! People are already getting it from amazon-so exciting.

Your 8-year-old baby is so cute.

So after sitting in traffic for an hour and arriving home thoroughly exhausted, it was a wonderful surprise to see my Amazon box on my doorstep! Congratulations on an AMAZING job!!! It is even better than I could have possibly expected! I was particularly thrilled to see that there were so many patterns for adults--I am so excited to hit the Goodwill to get started on the bomber hat!

So great to see the book! I can't wait to get one in my hands. I placed it on my wish list but we will see. Otherwise, I am hoping for a gift card or cash to be able to purchase. Congrats!

Amy said...

I found your blog through the Craft magazine blog last week. The funny thing is, I was in the middle of felting my very first thrifted wool clothing when I started reading your posts! Anyway, this week I made a little handbag using a felted wool scarf and I'm just thrilled with it. Now I see you even have a book out and I've very excited :) I'll be adding it to my Amazon wish list.

TJ said...

Congratulations! I too love everything you do and first came across you at the No-Coast Craft-o-rama in Minnesota last year. It has been fun to follow you along on your journey to even more greatness!
