#stashbooks

Well, we did it. 

We laughed. We cried. We escaped at least 15 minutes worth of frivolous time-sucking Buzzfeed quizzes, which is no small feat in Internetlandia.

High five, fine friends because together we’ve successfully completed the official Sew Adorkable Blog Hop Book Tour!

*get up and jazz hands all around your bad self right now!*

If you are like my dear mom, you’ve followed along and read every single tour stop’s post (thanks mom and all the rest of you!). I want to take this opportunity to thank each of my guest bloggers for doing such a stellar job of reviewing my book, creating wonderful adaptations of all the projects and for featuring any and everything adorkable in their posts.

If you missed any, you can find each stop in all their permalinkable glory here:

Just for kicks, here’s a quick look at some of my very first concept sketches for three of the book projects, coupled with their final finished versions:

I adored every aspect of making this book. My objective is to inspire creativity – no matter how dorky or punny or foolish it is – and I hope you find it a meaningful and fun addition to your bookshelf!

------

The Rules: please FOLLOW THEM!

1. Tell me your name. 

2. Tell me the country you currently reside in. [if you don’t, I can’t enter you, because I must know which prize you’re eligible for, and I want you to have a chance to win!]

3. Tell me which stop on the Sew Adorkable tour was your favorite AND WHY (never forget the ‘and why’ part!).

The #1 Grand Prize winner and #2 Grand Prize winner will be selected at random; one by each of my two children pulling names out of a hat old school-style, which is great because they’ll both get a turn which should eliminate any complaining and crying about fairness. And that’s win-win all by itself.

Contest closes at 12:00noon EST, Friday, October 30, 2015. 

GOOD LUCK!!!!
