Let me tell you a story ...

When I was about 4, my mother had a book published. I remember her unpacking the book and jumping up and down and laughing. Of course, I didn't know *why* she was so excited about this particular book, so for years I called that "Mommy's Heehee Book."

So, I think a certain amount of "dorking out" is probably normal. ;)

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to getting my copy.

Posted by: Judy H. | Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 16:11

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

The best thing is your contagious smile!!! You look so thrilled. My dd - an aspiring author herself has been grinning and grinning after watching your video too.

Congratulations!

Posted by: Sharon J. | Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 16:43

Congratulations!
I wish it was going to be in my LYS. It's been in my Amazon Cart for months, but I think I'm going to wait until I can pick it up myself. :-)
I'll have to wave it around and loudly say "Ohmygod, I've been looking for this, I've heard it's wonderful, I'm so glad you have it!"
Yeah, okay, that's my plan.

Posted by: KnittingInMind | Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 17:17

Duder! A handsome book. Congrats! I'll have to knit you an eelskin dust jacket. When is the big party again?
