I am so proud of our pal Abbey, of Aesthetic Outburst, who is preparing to release her very first book! She sent us a copy and we love it. There are 21 crafts in the book. Projects range from kid-friendly to advanced level crafts. I had a few favorites, but this was one-
I was so excited to see that the bird tree that she let us borrow for our wedding turned into a project! Who doesn't want to make one of these?
I was so inspired by Abbey's book that I made my own version of the bird display with vintage soda bottles and black feather crows-
Thanks for the inspiration, Abbey! You can pre-order You Are Awesome: 21 Crafts To Make You Happy right here
. The release date is November 30,2012. xoxo, elsie

Nice! I’m a sucker for cute crafts books 🙂 Have a dog who likes to catch birds, so I’m not sure that particular project would go over too well in my house, but I like the aesthetic! Will definitely check it out.
The bird trees are so cute! I like the colorful ones. 🙂

Amazing book!

These are super cool! Slightly creepy for me as I am scared of birds, but I still love it!
Looks like a lovely book, and the bird tree is so sweet! Although, yours is not so sweet, it’s dark and creepy, and I mean that in the best possible way. I love it!

The book seems like a really nice idea for an xmas gift.
Also, loving the idea of using old soda bottles…. think im gonna start doing the same.
The tree looks super cool.
Absolutely love this! It’s so creative and unique. I’m currently giving my living room a makeover and this seems to be just what I need.
I love your twist on it! The Black is perfect for Halloween. The book looks great, too!
I absolutely adore this! These are exactly the kinds of projects I like to do. Like Emma, this year I made it a goal to try and do arts n’ crafts daily. I’ve skipped a day here and there but I’ve mostly stuck with it. I find it to be very calming. Oh and it makes a beautiful mess;-)

That book looks awesome! But aren’t you legally supposed to disclose when you are using affiliate links on your site, so we know you get a percentage of the sales when people buy through that link?
Very fun! Great idea.
