Wow. Here it is. The week I have been anticipating: the week my dream-come-true-wish-out-loud-work on tirelessly-book comes out. I am as excited and as awe-struck as you might imagine. And it all started here with this blog. Please indulge me for a sec ...
It is here where I shared my very first les petits tiroirs {on December 10, 2009}
where I shared the very first time I was published {in a post from April, 2009}
I am so very happy for starting a blog, for connecting with so many, and for reconnecting with myself. Please know that I appreciate every kind and enthusiastic comment.
Okay, well, as the top image shows, I am giving away a signed copy of my book. To enter, please leave a comment on this very blog post. For an additional entry, simply share about the giveaway in some way (blog post, Facebook post, Twitter tweet, email to friends, telling neighbors) and leave a comment for each giveaway shout-out. This giveaway is open to everyone, everywhere. One winner will be selected using Random.org on Tuesday, February 26, 2013.
Until then, I thank you and wish you a very happy Valentine's Day!

My friend from Sewn with Grace, introduced me to you. I know I could have so much fun with this book.
Oh, Elyse! I just smile every time I think that you did this--you really did it! It makes me happy whenever I see that someone has dreamed a dream--and then worked hard to make it a reality! So glad you're enjoying every little moment of it!
And I would LOVE a signed copy of your baby!
Wishing you a beautiful day, dear friend...

A wonderful trip down memory lane... except I don't remember it because I wasn't blogging then. But, it's a wonderful story! =] But a bit of a surprise because... you know... I just thought you were born tinkering!!! =/ =]
and, I can hardly believe it's here!!!
and, I don't know how to say it... there really aren't words because, well... your heart and your experience (I mean, blogging, and discovering creative expression and passion-love and, you know... all that stuff...) - your heart and your experience resonate with mine and I am so encouraged and happy for you!!! You're my hero! ;) heehee! (but, I'm totally serious! =D)
and, Elyse... please don't get too famous because... for a couple of years, now, I've treasured this little dream - this little plan of making it down to Mystic with my family and, then, abandoning them for an afternoon to go meet you. (They can go do boy things. ;)) I've been kind of biting my nails, lately... what if you're too busy being a famous authoress - I'm imagining that, along with the fun (and, Cath Kidston), it's hard work! =] Well, perhaps, I can catch you someday between assignments! ;) In the meantime - you realize - you're causing more than half the population of Blogland to go around with huge, giddy smiles on our faces!!!
So, Love to you and your family!!! =D
and,
xxooxxoo (It's finally HERE - YAAaaaaay! =D )
P.S. Is it surreal or are you totally loving it? Are you all packed? Actually, are you already on the airplane? Well, I'll probably see it all on FB. =]
Congratulations...the book looks lovely!
Congratulations on your first book! I always like to see what you have in RH magazine each month and just saw your name in Flea Market Decor for that adorable house in Chicago.
I am so excited for you Elyse! It was so fun reading the old blog post about the little clothespin dolls...seems like forever ago that I ordered those from you! Can't wait to see your book! Terri
Congratulations on your gorgeous book, Elyse!!! I'm so excited that your sweet dream is coming true!
oxo,
Jill
