Yesterday the mailman brought me a copy of Blogging for Bliss, A Guide For Crafters, Artists & Creatives of All Kinds, by Tara Frey.
Last year when I was asked to be a part of the book (find me on page 24!) I was flattered. Me? I'm no blogging expert! But turns out, that's kind of the point of the book. Blogging can be for anyone that wants to be part of this amazing creative blogging community.
In Blogging for Bliss, Tara guides you through setting up a blog, finding your voice, blogging manners, photography tips and more. In addition, there 50+ profiles of your favorite bloggers as well as wonderful ones you may not have come across before. Even though I have been blogging now for 3 1/2 years (this is my 412th post!) there is some seriously helpful stuff in here. I recommend it for newbies and veterans alike!
I was so giddy, flipping through this for the first time. I felt like I had just gotten my high school yearbook! (What page am I on? Oh, look at her! She's in here...and so is my other friend) And like a yearbook, I feel like this book will hold special meaning for me. It's like a snapshot or a time capsule. Look at how much has happened with the internet and social networking in just a handful of years. What will the next handful bring?

Congrats, Betz. Can't wait to read it!
Thanks for posting this, i think i will go over to amazon and purchase it! seems like a great book for me, as i am relatively new to the blogging scene. i love your work by the way, and am about to try out the tool apron tutorial you posted back in May.
How very blissful indeed! Love the concept - don't think I've seen a real book about blogging yet! Congratulations on being included!
I got that book almost as soon as it hit the stands at Barnes & Noble, and I love it! I did notice your blog in there and had to smile! Great job! Its a book that everyone should own. Truly inspirational!

Congratulations Betz! Looks like a beautiful book! My e-course students were raving about it! xo
Looks like a great book. I have a craft section of my blog, but I'm not sure I'd qualify as a craft blogger. Congratulations on your "yearbook"!
Hi Betz,
Your right, coming from a newbie to blogging it is an awesome book and so full of inspiration. I found it my fluke and loved it! I want to check out every blog in there. (When I have time.)
Congratulations!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It is a fabulous book and has helped me rethink my blogging goals. I can't wait to jump back on the horse so to speak!
Congrats on the Blogging for Bliss appearance (I'm in there too-lol).
I've been browsing your Sewing Green book too and love all the fun projects.
