Kathy,
I've been following your work for several years now. I've also been reading your blog for some time, and even commented once or twice. Mostly when you talked about Maya playing softball for the first time. I doubt you'll remember, but I mentioned that my daughter also plays softball and how much we love going to the games. Anyhow, that's not why I'm writing.
I'm getting married in September and my daughter is a Jr. Bridesmaid in my wedding. I've been putting together the attendants gifts, and instead of the typical jewelry gift, I've been getting things that I know each person would like.
Well Caitlin, my daughter, is 9 and really getting into art. I'm a crafter and she tells her teachers every year during the first week of school that if they need help with projects, to call me because I'm "awesome at crafts." Her words, not mine.
So for her gift I piced up your crafty diva book and I'm picking several of the projects, getting everything she needs to complete them, and putting together a nice craft storage center for her.  I found your book (searched it out actually), looked through it and fell in love.
I know she'll love it too.
So basically I wanted to say great job on the book, and thanks for your inspiration.
Can't wait for a blog update to hear what's new with you all. I feel like I know you from reading your blog all the time. Silly, I know. But thanks.

Hi Jennifer!
You are sweeter than a bag of Jolly Ranchers! Speaking of Jolly Ranchers, did you know you can melt them in the oven into weird shapes and then take them out and poke a hole at the top to make an ornament? Just thought I would share that!! I'm so embarrassed it has taken me so long to write back, things have been crazy busy over here. I'm so thrilled you like the book. If you have pictures of the completed projects, please send me some and I'll post them here. i know other people would love to see them too! Thank you again so much - here is a big cyber hug to you!!
