Child's Play - A Fun New Book & A Giveaway!

Have you heard about Jacquelynne Steve's new Book - Child's Play?  It is just the most darling book!


Child's Play is available in both a digital eBook ($12) and a printed hard-copy version ($15) - you pick your favorite way to enjoy it!  There are 55 pages, chock full of wonderful creative ideas and yummy recipes!

Here are a few pictures to entice you .....

CUTE little stuffed animals - and you make clothes for them too!!!
Note the little pocket baby  kitten  =^..^=

There are a couple of quilt patterns in several colorways !

If stitchery is your thing, Jacquelynne designs the cutest things!
This kitty is going to be in my stitching basket very soon!

Wondering what to feed the kids that they will enjoy and is still healthy?
There are some really fun recipes - how about Peanut Butter & Jelly Pizza?

You will also find several fun projects like this really easy & useful tote bag.
Wouldn't this make a great bag for day care essentials or a day at the beach?
Jacquelynne is really excited about the inclusion of tutorial videos in Child's Play.  For the digital version, all you have to do is click on the link, and it will bring up the YouTube video automatically! For the printed version, the link can be typed into the browser. 

Never read a digital book?  Here are some advantages to the digital version:
  • You can view it as a "flippable" book or download the PDF onto your computer or device.
  • Especially important to international shoppers: NO Shipping Costs!
  • It looks beautiful on the iPad!
  • Links are easy to use- just click.
  • Print out just the pages you need- maybe a recipe or a pattern page or the kids' activity sheets. So much easier to have a single recipe page in the kitchen to work with than a whole book, right? And you don't have to worry about splatters on your book!
  • Never trace a pattern again- just print it out onto inexpensive computer paper and cut the pieces out.
  • To save ink when you print pages, you can choose "grayscale" in your printer options and print in black and white.
  • Less expensive than printed book.
So how do you get a copy for your very own?   
Well.... how about I give a copy to a lucky follower?

Now that sounds like fun to me!  Just leave a comment on this post telling me what you think you will enjoy most about Jacquelynne's book, and I'll pick a winner by random drawing at midnight on Monday, March 25.  Not a follower - well, maybe now's the time to think about joining up!  :*D

Now, if you don't think you've got your mojo going on right now, or you'd like to grab a copy for your very own right this very minute, you can just click HERE for the eBook digital version.  Or click HERE for the printed version.  Jacquelynne will get your copy to you right away!
