Okay, this is it! I'm finishing up the last minute details on the book before I head out to Denver for my trip to National Jewish tomorrow. I'll be doing the bulk of the writing in my down time, then when I get back it's pack up the supplies for the step by step shoot in August and prep for my appearances at the CHA Show!
A huge thank you to everyone who left such warm and wonderful messages on my post yesterday. I can't tell you how much it means to me to be so loved. Truly. I know the most amazing people.
My aunt Shane Marie Devine is a gifted vocalist and musician and she's been playing music for as long as I can recall. Her husband, Charles Forbes, is a world renowned cellist. Together they recently recorded a lovely duet of Pierce Pettis' St. Paul's Song after performing it at the baby shower for my cousin Ethan and his wife Alexis. They're baby Peregrine was born not long after. I've posted the YouTube video below the links, so check it out! I come from a long line of performers and fine artists on both sides, it was pretty cool to grow up surrounded by so much creativity.
My dear friend Andrew Thornton lost his good friend Amelia Geocos several years ago in a tragic accident. He's auctioning off a stunning piece of jewelry for her memorial scholarship fund. Please go bid!
And now...without further ado, please open wide for this week's hearty serving of TastyLinks from The Crafty Bloggers. We've got glue guns and we're not afraid to use them!
