I am so excited to get this book! I have to ration my Amazon book purchases because, you know, we're living off one salary these days and groceries are supposedly more important. But, man, is it hard! I can go without the trendy clothes I used to load up on because I still get my retail therapy fix by dressing the boys in cute gear. And besides, do I really need to dress up to go to the park, the grocery store, the elementary school, or the doctor's office? Um, no. But books. Oh, books. I just adore them and have a hard time resisting them, especially cooking and crafting books. I usually check them out of the library first to see whether I really want to buy them. But with Amanda Blake Soule's newest book, Handmade Home, I just went ahead and ordered it. I loved her first book, The Creative Family, so much that I knew I'd want her latest. I'll hopefully post about some creations soon--I want to get a head start on Christmas presents (yea, right--but a girl can dream). And yes, the UPS man thinks I'm a crazy stalker lady because whenever he turns into our neighborhood I am out front waving to him because I assume he's bringing me this book. Tracking info says tomorrow!
