From the bottom of my heart...
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the wonderful emails yesterday.
I'm THRILLED!
Thanks too...for all the book orders.
I'll be anxious to hear what you think about it.
ART friends are THE BEST FRIENDS!
We'll be shipping the books, just as soon as they arrive...on Monday or Tuesday of next week....and ordering more later today.
Hello...Ted? Send MORE!
Once again...I sincerely appreciate all the kind words & enthusiasm.
THANK YOU!
On to the art...
I got several emails yesterday asking about the sizes of the new Maya Road chipboard products.
I agree...it's very hard to determine the size from a photo.
This is the rectangle scallop journaling coaster & it's 3 x 5 inches.
The flower is actually my studio 490 poinsettia stamp...
but...
done in broken china, it no longer looks Christmasy...
is that a word?
Holiday...ish?
and...this classic scroll frame is 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches...
This square scroll is 4 x 4 inches, from point to point.
Here's the cool thing about designing stamps...
Ted lets me do what I want.
So the large background stamps completely cover these chipboard bases.
Coincidence?
I think...NOT!
One stamp...a little ink & the base is ready to be embellished.
SO EASY!
If you need any of the other Maya Road chipboard measured...
just ask.

It looks like I am the first to comment. yeah me! Wendy even if I don't win I have one on order.
I, too, have your book on order from you - so please don't choose me to win. I'm just trying to catch up with everyone/everything since I was MIA for awhile recently ... I am so looking forward to having your book in my hands - and "making art" this weekend. I have so much I want to do before the cruise!
Congratulations on the book - I know it's going to be a huge success!
Oh, I wish it was Hamburg/Germany - that´s only three hours away from me ;-)) But maybe your book would be a good consolation?! I´d love to win it, that would be a good excuse to buy some of your stamps soon ...
I have lurked around your site for so long and just got my first stamps last week. Oh, I would love to have your book and figure out how you do all these great projects. Thanks for putting the bokk together AND thanks for the chance to win one.
Wendy - if you wouldn't have done the examples, I would not have pictured these stamps this way. You have done an amazing job and Ted and Michelle, as always, have blessed us with bringing these to us. I want to win, but I am just excited to be so inspired. Thanks so much.

Wendy -
Congratulations and well deserved! Your work is very unique and different from what is already out there in the craft/art world. I love the Wendy look.
Elaine Allen
I love everything on you blog. Please include me in the drawing. Thanks.
Sally Fasano
I would love to have a copy of your book so that I can see up close everything that you do. I have just started back to stamping (I gave all my stuff to my daughter several years ago so she could stamp) and since I am an empty nester - I have time on my hands. My upcoming birthday list includes all of your stamps that I don't have - I love see what you create.
I love it! I am going to clean up my scrap space and try out your my new (WV) stamps! We're moving our son to UNH tomorrow, but the weather is going to be horrendous, so it's a great excuse to stay in and play once we get home!
I'm really looking forward to getting one of your books.....and would love it if you sign it! Who doesn't love to win something.......but if not, I'll definitely be ordering through you. Do you have a limit on how many you're going to be selling through the blog?
Kathy
I am so looking forward to receiving my first Wendy stamps (winging their way to me), and this book is the perfect companion! Congrats to you and thanks to SA for their generosity and the creative license they afford you!
New Maya Road just came in at FKS, have to go today! Love the background fitting right over the whole chipboard....GREAT. Love to win!
Love your art! Can't wait to learn some of your techniques. Looking forward to your classes on The Artful Voyage!
I am soooo excited to see your book... I hope I win, I hope I win :-)))) But if not, I'll be ordering!!! I got my first WV stamps this week.. first I was surprised how big they were.. a good surprise :) but I also love that you have an idea sheet with them... way cool!!! The book has got to be totally awesome!!!!
Funny...most people have already ordered. Me too! I'm hopefully birthday shopping for my friends! Can't wait to see the book.
Wendy - thanks for all the fun! I love your art!

Hi Wendy,
Congratulations! And thanks for sharing the MR chipboard sizes. Your work is just beautiful!
Thanks for sharing all that you do!
WOW over 100 comments. I love your style, so know I would love your book. Hi & thanks to Ted too.
Looks like an amazing book! Gotta find time to "play." Thanks for gifting the book too.
Wendy, this is a gorgeous creation! I haven't been by your blog for awhile but it looks like you've been up to great things - you go girl!
Wendy, love your style...and a book using Tim's stuff...WOW!
Thanks for a chance to win this fab book. Going to go check out your stamps now.
Love your new stamps and cant wait to get the book
There is no doubt in my mind that your book will be a huge success. I admire your work so much and would love to win a copy of your book. Am just hanging on in case and will buy it in America in October if I don't win.
Your work is mind blowing but your stamps are to die for and, having just found out about them from linda E, they are now top of my Xmas List.
I 'need' more of your work ... its stunning and so inspirational !
Thank you x
Received my book today that I ordered from Carson...I appreciate the copies of the stamps at the end for easy reference...I only wish that the print was a little larger...for those of us with aging eyes it would be nice to be able to read it without getting our "inky" fingers all over it. And though I love *, I suspect that when I go to use the book, I will keep losing my place...perhaps numbers next time? Or lined sections for say all the work done on the frame separating it from all the work done on a flower, etc? Or maybe just larger print would be enough...I'd be willing to pay more...On the plus side, thanks for the pictures and the detailed product lists separated by manufacturer...makes it easy to see what I need to get together to do the project. I hope the next book includes the rose you made online. Oh, and thanks for making the book so that I can keep it with the stamps!
Congrats on your book. And thanks for giving us all a chance to win one. Your art gives me inspiration all the time.
WOW I've only just found you via Kat's blog, so I've got lots and lots to look at - One of the stamps she used on a beer mat on her blog caught my eye, and that's how I've ended up over here
Off to look at some more - keep up the good work
Sam xxxxx
Wow! I love all your projects.
Congrats on your book! Pick me, pick me! A wannabe cruiser!

Congratulations on the new book! Can't wait to see it in Australia. I would love to win a copy.
