I’m so excited.  I’ve been emailing around the interwebs and am tickled pink, purple, and yellow to report that I have TWO surprises for you coming in October!

October 19th, author Tina Holland will be coming to KK to talk about her craft of scrapbooking.  Tina is a trip – she lives on a self-proclaimed “hobby farm” in Minnesota, writes sexy romances with the tagline, “Have You Been Naughty Today?” and hopes one day to open a bed and breakfast with her husband, a pilot and something of a mad scientist himself.  My kind of people!

When I asked Tina what crafts she likes, she said none.  None?  NONE?  Well, scrapbooking.  It’s really her aunt’s passion, she told me, but from the sounds of it I think Tina qualifies as a crafter.  Have you seen some of these scrapbooks?  But I want to know more about why she focuses on writing and what niche it fills for her in terms of creative expression, and how that ties in with scrapbooking.  I can’t wait.

On October 26th, author and textile artist Maddy Barone will be coming to play!  I so want to marry Maddy and hide her away as my kept woman to write books and make stuff.  Multi-talented, she can design period clothing, knit, write awesome books, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out she can do magic too.  We haven’t yet managed to meet in person, though we’ve talked on the phone, but one day I will make her part of the Noonypod.

Noonypod.  I just made that up.  I love it!  🙂

Now, don’t be like that.  You won’t be assimilated, silly!

At least not until October…  o.O…
