THANK YOU! #1 ON AMAZON!!
I am over the moon -my book is number one in Calligraphy book sales and it wont even turn up when you search Calligraphy-trying to get that changed! I am also number 2 in Graphic Design Books! and Almost in the top 10,000 list!!
I've posted some images there of book pages if you'd like to take a peek!
I'd like to share this poem with you I received from my friend Hilde, written by a young woman dying of cancer-i dont usually do this -but this really touched me
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever
watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
The rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last.
Do you run through each day
On the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see
his
sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call
and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is over.

Congratulations Lisa! All so well deserved. Somehow, I am not surprised :-) Looking forward to receiving your book. I am sure I will be carrying this book around for a long time! The Poem is beautiful and all so true. Thanks for sharing. xoxo Olga, Miami, Florida
So exciting! and I'm a day off. I've been telling everyone that it comes out July 1st. Eeek! Also, we're announcing it in CraftCat (goes out Tuesday or Wednesday) and putting your DVD on sale in celebration.
Such congratulations on all fronts!!
I'm so excited for you, Lisa! The book rocks...VERY deserving of its numbers on Amazon!
HI Lisa!
It's lost luggage Robin...(AFF last year)? So happy to see you have a blog and all the well deserved press you have been getting! I saw you in Mary Englebreit! I was so happy for you and now with the #1 book title! Your a rock star. Maybe I'll see in Long Beach at the quilt show.
