I’m giddy. The little button on the Amazon listing for my book has changed from “pre-order” to “add to shopping cart”! Big news indeed! (I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk when the new phone books arrived.)

First of all, I would like to let you know that I have a limited number of books available in my etsy shop should you prefer to buy a signed copy directly from me. I will be getting more soon, but for this short time before the holidays, I have 20 copies available.

Now that the book is officially out in the world, I feel like we should have a little “book launch” party. Shall we? I’m not the big party type, but with you, my bloggy readers, I would love to celebrate. Since you can’t all come over for cupcakes and coffee, I’ll have to come up with another plan.

A give-away perhaps? Yes, that sounds lovely. After all, without you and all of your crafty support, there might not even be a book. Therefore, I will be giving away 3 Cupcake Pincushions!

Ok, so here’s the scoop. Between now and December 31st:
1) Send me an email at betzATbetzwhiteDOTcom (replace AT and DOT with appropriate symbols)
2) Put something in the subject line like, “I love cupcakes!”
3) On January 1st I will draw three lucky winners! Please, only one entry per person.

(BTW, thanks for all of the birthday wishes for my son, he had a great day!)
