BLOGGETTES ON THE SHELF

Pin It Now!

Hey babes! 
So in blogger land things are becoming way more awesome.
How so?
Our favourites are forcing us to log off. 
(Say WHAT??!!) 
Not forever, just long enough for us to drool over their books. 
And there are quite a few that I am pretty much dying to get my hands on.

Starting with queen mother of all things pink and gold herself
Joy Cho of Oh Joy! 
Her book Oh Joy! 60 Ways to Create and Give Joy launches TODAY! 
(yes I am that excited that I must use all caps.) 
So prepare your screens for totally and utter Oh Joy! take over for the
next few months while we all allow every project to wash over our lives and
make our hubs miserable with the crazy amount of cute-ish DIYs we will be spewing out
for every. single. occasion. 
Hubs, you've been warned. 



Next up....

 ...boho blogger goddess 
Justina Blakeney of The Jungalow with her book 
I've been obsessed with The Jungalow for...forever. Simply for the mere fact 
that I can't seem to keep fake plants alive and in tact and Justina is surrounded 
by the most vibrant green lushness I've every seen.  Her eclectic, pattern-filled 
style is shrine worthy. No seriously. Take a look.
I sincerely feel like this book will not only be laid on as a pillow 
(so the decor geniusness can transfer through osmosis) but will act as 
a decorative piece in it's own right.



Last, but certainly the sweetest...



Ok, so I love myself a sweet treat. 
So given it someone's birthday the right time of the month, 
this book juuust might be the single most important thing in 
in all of existence. 
Yes friends it's The Sweetapolita Bakebook!!!
(cue the clouds parting and choir of angels) 
I don't know a girl that doesn't love herself some cake, 
and a pretty cake at that. 
Rosie Alyea has handed us the playbook 
to help make our whack, basic betty cakes & cookies look extra fancy!! 
I can not wait for the end of the year class party just to 
flex my frosting skills (and maybe flaunt in front of a 
room mom or two.) 


Now close your screen....
Wait first, go order your copies of these books, then
close your screen and give yourself a moment to 
do.  If you know of any other bloggers with book deals. 
let us know about it in the comments! 

Until next time...
xo, 
Kel

the direction of where i am going has been
muddy lately so I
need to start somewhere...
Joy recommended Craft Inc.
(and she is usually right about a lot)
to guide the semi-newbies to the business world on how to make those crafting hands gold.
So i figure i can gift myself some guidance for this holiday season,
as opposed to just a new pair of shoes.
Although the lesson may hurt a little more than pumps, it'll definitely be
worth it in the end
AAANNNND
it comes without blisters.
ding ding ding!

SCORE!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Bisous!

Few books to make my lack luster coffee table look
lovely....

I approached the hun-hub about possibly changing the color of the coffee table
to chartreuse, or maybe hot red, i even tried pink
and was met with laughter...

Everyone, release happy thoughts into the universe for me that i may find a
home with enough rooms to have a place for him, kids, and
anything i desire to be painted pink....

oh, margaret wise brown....
you have always had my heart and
have always made bedtime so magical....
inspiring the nocturnal fantasies of my youth and
force them to spill over into my adulthood...
From Good Night Moon to Color Kittens to Home for a Bunny....
you have made bedtime a
moment to look forward to.

and now,
my mini can indulge in your magic
and the wonderfully poetic
tales of the creation of colors.

Merci.

Since i don't get a moment to read
more mature and enlightening novels, i decided that i would not
sacrifice my love for reading and imagining to read
my daughter whack (for lack of better terms) childrens books.
i prefer Chloe to be visually amused while she is learning.
Unfortunately the older one gets, the number of captivating illustrations start to
decrease and reading may become substituted with spreadsheets and briefs and powerpoints!
While her spirit is free, i will indulge along with her and be taken to a new place....


So here is the
Top 10 Chloe and Mommy Bedtime Reading List:
1) The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown
2) One Fish, Two Fish. Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss
3) Sleep Cutie by Andrea Davis Pinkney
4) Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
5)Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
6) Home of a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
7) Poorly Pig by Allan Ahlberg
8)The Polite Elephant by Richard Scarry
9)Mr. George Baker by Amy Hest
10) Fast Frog by Allan Alberg

Enjoy!
