In case you haven't heard......Tara Frey has a new book called Blogging for Bliss: Crafting Your Own Online Journal. Tara invited 50 creative bloggers to contribute to the book, by sharing their blogging experiences, tips and feelings on what it means to them to "blog for bliss". I'm thrilled to be among them! The book also contains loads of resources for new bloggers as well as helpful ideas for established bloggers and those looking to take their blogs to the next level.
To help celebrate, Kari {Artsy Mama} is hosting a Blogging for Bliss book release party today, and she's posted a long list of bloggers who have joined the party. Click over to Kari's blog and check out the right sidebar for the complete list.
So, why do I blog?
To keep a journal of these days that pass by so quickly.
To capture moments and images that reveal beauty.
To keep in touch with friends & family.
To share with others who find joy in the same simple things as me.
To connect with amazing, creative women all over the world.
If you've been on the fence about starting a blog of your own, this book might be just the push you needed to take the plunge!
Congratulations to Tara for fulfilling a dream!

Hi Andrea :)
I read the entire book the first day I got it :) I loved your page, your blog is one of my very favorites! You are so gorgeous and so are your boys! I have all boys too and I was telling Heather (Pretty Petals) there are so many of us girly girls that have all sons, we should start a club, lol!
I am so excited for Tara, she did a beautiful job. I am honored just to be mentioned in the book!!
Hugs,
Amy

Congrats on being in the book! I just wonder (you triggered me by your keeping a journal and capture moments); do you ever print your blog? I'm a historian and I think it will be such a loss if all these lovely blogs are not saved for the future, something that we don't know right now. Ok it's off topic, but you just triggered me. Have a nice day!

I had no idea this was a brand new book. I couldnt find Artful Blogging at Barnes and Noble but wanted to get some inspiration from bloggers and ended up with this amazing book in my hand. You should see it, its highlighted and bookmarked. It has been in my hand and purse for two weeks straight!!

I got the book the day after ordering it on Amazon.com! Took it on a weekend trip & loved it! Now am going back through to see how I can improve my own blog. And also check out some of your favorites!
