I am so excited to finally have the opportunity to write my first book.  I have contributed to several in the past and even worked as an editor and creative editor on several others.  However, I have always wanted to do my own.  I am thrilled.  However, there are so many amazing women out there that are far more talented than I am. So, I decided to put out a call for projects.  You can learn more about the submission guidelines at www.supersaturdaybook.com.  If you know of anyone else that you think may be interested please pass along the info.  If all goes well, the book should come out early summer, next year. 

I am officially launching my new site this week.  It took forever to get it up and running and even more time to work on importing  projects from my old site.  I finally decided that if I waited until it was perfect, it would never happen.  S0, here it is . . . imperfections and all.  I have several things in the works that I am excited about. 

Every Monday there will be a new project which I will be calling a “Quicki”.  Just a quick little project that you can work on each week.  As always I will continue doing larger projects every 2 weeks in conjunction with my Studio 5 appearances that will have complete instructions and pattern downloads.  I have some really cool segments coming up. 

On a more personal note.  I can’t believe that the kids are going back to school this week.  A part of me is kind of happy to get my routine back and it’s so much easier to work from home when the kids are in school.  However, after having Kelsey gone to girls camp for a week and then Tanner gone to scout camp for the week after . . . I miss them.  I wish we just had one more week to spend together.  I cried for both of my kids when they were gone.  I laugh when I tell my friends this because I never would have guessed, “I don’t even like kids that much” lol just kidding.  However, I am all about independence and I have taught my kids self reliance since they were born.  My kids have all been able to cook and clean and get themselves ready from the time they were very small.  I encourage them to be independent.  I think too many people fail because they are weak and looking for other people to solve their problems.  I want my kids to be strong and solve their own problems.  This experience, of having them gone, has taught me that I depend on them far too much.  I didn’t realize how empty my days were without them.  It is so nice to have them home and I think I will cherish them a little more.
