Why Buy the Book When You Could Win a Copy

You could buy my new book, or you could roll the dice and try to win a free copy! There are 3 contests going on at this very moment one of which ends in 2 days so you best shake a tail feather….

The contest with a deadline soon approaching is the Creativity 350 contest! This contest let’s you use your creative skills for a good cause: to help stop global warming! By participating in the Creativity 350 challenge you can help creatively spread the word about what scientists and advocates are now calling the most important number on the planet: 350. Learn all about the number 350 and then create something that helps represent that number, enter it in the contest and then win yourself not only a copy of The Naughty Secretary Club but goodies from Sublime Stitching, Coats & Clarks, Envirosax and more!



Cozies. Cosies. However you choose to spell 'em, your challenge is to make a cozy with irony. What does that mean? Well, that's up to you to decide! All you have to do is head over to Craftster and enter to win yourself a copy of The Naughty Secretary Club.

According to Craftster’s research team (uh, ok, a quick trip to this Wikipedia entry) the original intent of a "cosy" was a cover for a teapot and they were made of cloth or wool and were meant to insulate and keep the contents of the teapot warm. Perhaps you could make a jewelry travel cosy? A book cosy, man I used to love paper book covers in grade school. Make a project from the book like the Whistle at Work gnome necklace and make little plastic gnome cosies. The possibilities are endless whether you glue, knit, sew or solder!



The next contest let’s you win not just the Naughty Secretary Club, but 11 other books from North Light like Glam Knits and Pretty Little Things. Win A Year of Crafting from MyCraftivity! Dang dude I wonder if I’m allowed to enter this one too, I want to get a new craft book every month for a year!



Sorry to be book crazed this week, but can you blame me for being excited. Thanks to everyone who has been buying copies. The Naughty Secretary Club Book is apparently the 19th most popular book on Amazon in jewelry, whoo-hoo! Can you believe it! People must like their doll house furniture and toy tin typewriter jewelry. If the book goes to number 1 I might just freak out and start giving away lot's of free stuff on the blog. Oh wait I am about to do that later this month anyway.

  2. Thanks for the nice words, not sure what #19 means in terms of sales, but I was pretty excited since it was like #46 yesterday. I can't wait to hear what you think about the book when you get your copy.
