Guys, I am ridiculously excited! My book, Low-Mess Crafts for Kids is FINALLY launching in a couple weeks on June 26! It’s been awhile since I gave you an update, so let’s talk about what’s been happening since my last post!
One day, out of the blue, I got a package in the mail. I wasn’t expecting it, but when I opened it up, it was a finished copy of my book. Wow. I was crazy excited! So this is a picture of me, right after I opened the package. Real and uncut! Messy hair, glasses, comfy clothes – I am too excited not to share this photo!
It is so crazy to hold it in my hands! I was smiling the rest of the day. And I took it to all my family events after I got it and made everyone flip through every single page. Slowly. haha
Here’s the finished cover. My kids absolutely loved playing with the sock puppet that’s featured. My publisher, Page Street Publishing, designed the cover and I think it looks so cute!
And do you know what the craziest part is? I googled my book name a few weeks ago, and good gracious, it looks like it’s going to be available all over the world!? It’s being distributed by MacMillan, but I didn’t realize how wide spread that made it. Besides being available at all the major bookstores in North America (even Walmart and Target), it’s already being listed in bookstores in Japan, Germany and Australia. What a crazy feeling!?
A big thank you to all my wonderful readers (if you’re reading this, that means you!). Your support has been amazing, and I’m so grateful to have such an awesome community!
I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!! You can also check out our book cover reveal post here.
Congratulations – the book looks great! And so do you: so proud and rightfully so!
Thanks!!! I’m so happy with how it turned out! 🙂
Well done, it is amazing to see all of your hard work in a book that will help millions of people craft with their little ones. You look fabulous in your photograph too. Congratulations.
Thank you so much!! I’m so relieved to finally be close to the finish line. 🙂
Wow. That’s so exciting. Good luck with it!
Thanks so much Colleen!! <3
Congrats. What a thrill it must be to be published here & in other countries. I am so happy for you. I love the cover and the kids are going to love the content. I just had to share it with my friends I am so excited about this book. Continued success and God bless:)
Aw, thank you Janice! That means a lot to me. <3
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!!
Wow! Congratulations!!! Such a proud moment for you!!! Well done!!! The cover looks amazing.
Thank you so much Joanne! I’m pretty excited about it all. 🙂
WOW! You look so excited and your book is super terrific! How can I get your book? In fact I want to know who your publisher is? I have a children’s book my husband illustrated but I’m finding publishers I’ve contacted only want my text. Seeing your book makes me want to get my book published so much. I may have to let the publisher do it. I know he won’t be happy.

Thanks Cynthia! There’s details on where you’ll be able to order my book here: https://onelittleproject.com/low-mess-crafts-for-kids-book/
That’s a tough one for sure! Maybe if you get one book published they’d be more likely to let your husband illustrate the next one? It’s all about getting your foot in the door. My publisher is Page Street Publishing, but I’m not sure if they do children’s fiction? But you never know? Best of luck with your book!
Congratulations Debbie, please let us all know how we can purchase this book, Thanks and continued success!
Thanks Kathy! There’s links to where you can order my book here: https://onelittleproject.com/low-mess-crafts-for-kids-book/ It’s at all the big retailers and on Amazon. <3
