I got kicked out of Barnes & Noble tonight...

PamTheQueen

well, not really...hehe, but I made enough noise!

I stopped in to get the fall issue of Martha's (doesn't say her name anymore) Kid magazine for ideas for my newest new job teaching arts and crafts. I also picked up a fall and winter edition of Paper&Crafts mag just to get more ideas to work with (as if I don't have enough ideas running through my head at 500 MPH!)

Well, decided to head back to the crafts books to see if there were any new books. Nevermind that i've already checked this section at least 3 times the past 7 days -- you just never know! Scan, scan, scan the shelves and then BOOM! Pam squeals and shouts and giggles a bit too loudly for any store, much less a nice quiet bookstore....

Guess what book made me back that noise?

Jean's book!!!!!! "Get Crafty:Hip Home Ec"

Yes, i'm a dork and easily excited (just like my shih tzu), but I really was excited to see this book. I've been meaning to order it since last week, but I was waiting to do it on my husband's Amazon acccount.

I bet i'll really get kicked out when Jenny Hart's new Stitch Kit comes out and anything more by that Crafty Chica, Kathy Murillo!

okay...back to coming up with what projects I am going to teach for the next week and a half![/b]

I was really excited to hear the get crafty book came out a few weeks ago but my B&N's supply was sold out, already :(
They have this cool thing where they will order something out of stock for you & if you don't get it in 7 days - you get it for free! Alas (sigh) I didn't get it on their dime but LOVE the book! It made my day to get the call that the book came in ;)

Jean, by the way - I think the book dedication is so cool! (I am not saying what it is so as not to give it away).

a big ol congrats to jean - i bought the book last night and plowed thru almost the whole thing before bedtime; it's wonderful! already making plans for a few of the recipes....(got it at barnes and noble and grabbed what appeared to be the last copy after not being able to find it at borders which said they had it in stock)

we bought it before our first anniversary dinner last night and the whole time i made my hubby refer to me as "Becca, a cross-stitcher from Atlanta" as in "Becca, a cross-stitcher from Atlanta is enjoying her samosa and mint sauce" and "Becca, a cross-sticher from Atlanta is going to use the restroom". thanks for the shout out jean!

Yay Get Crafty! I got my copy & I love it. Thanks for including my skirt article, Jean! :)

I can't wait to have you inscribe my book--I'll be in New York at holidays and would love to get it signed then!
