It’s not everyday one gets to see their book published in another language.  This is the coolest thing ever!!!!!  My book was recently released for the Finnish audience and I just love looking at the pages in a different language!!  Quite a bit of fun I must say.  So if you  live in Finland or are of Finnish decent you should have a very easy time of finding this book!!!! I would love for other languages to be published and will keep you updated!!! xoxo Jennifer

Girls World Out-takes

Maybe these will pursuade you if you have not yet purchased Girls World to get your craft on!!!!  We are in the business of selling books!!  forgive me if you get tired of the blasts, the facebook posts and all the twittering about Girls World but I am a woman on a mission and I want everyone to know about the inspiration that can come from these pages.  I love all of the spin- offs!! I love the inspiration, I love our flickr pool I go there everyday to see what you all are up too!! Let your mind go, build a business off of these pages.  That’s why I purchased books as a visual aid to where I was headed and the artists that help shape that direction.  Heck that’s why I buy magazines to see what’s relevant and how I can hone my craft to excite others. When I was at the Country Living Fair in Ohio and on the way to Atlanta’s Country Living Fair I see that there are thousands of folks who would never even see this book if it weren’t put in their path and I’m so grateful Jen of Earth Angels invited me to be a part of her tent.  Divine Destiny is all I’ll say.  Folks were drawn into Girls World they couldn’t pass by my table, they had to pick up the book, Girls it’s in our DNA , we like pretty!  And thanks to our Tester Tom Jordan and folks like Scott at Blue Nickel and of course the king Kaffe Fasset men are starting to embrace these colors also.  Ok so I digress but I cannot wait for Atlanta’s Fair a whole new population of people to get excited about Girls World and if I’m correct in our thinking we will be selling a whole lot of 1 yard cuts like we did in Ohio.  Fingers crossed.

I can not wait to meet all of you and hug every single one of you. Some of you may get to meet my mom and she is unabashed about hawking Girls World!!  My mom, and my sissy and my niece Sophie and her close friends and if it’s not too chilly they will be walking around in Sis Boom attire with special fliers.  Email me if you see them in Atlanta it may mean a fatquarter or two!!!!!

We love you guys you make the world spin oh yes and look at your brochure cause I may be put back on the main stage like Atlanta!!!!  Let’s do this. Come by the Earth Angels tent and meet all my new talented girlfriends and stay awhile!! Can’t wait to meet you! weez crazy about you!!!!!

Below are some out takes of our photo shoot day!!  Don’t forget Girls World Vibe is en-route to stores any day now for you to create these beauties with..as always hoard because they go fast and check Fabric.com if you need more yardage.  They list the yardages available making it easy for you! Oh and I saw a coupon up in there so take advantage today..Just sayin!!

Girl’s World Vibe

Have you noticed? Our new (but not available, just yet) FABRIC!!!! Girl’s World Vibe, that is!

We received sooo many inquiries regarding those fabrics used in Girl’s World… and being that most of them are discontinued and really tough to find (if anywhere, they’re on Ebay and Etsy!), we just couldn’t leave you hanging!… Which is why Sis Boom designed a brand new fabric line to channel the awesome vibe and energy of those used during the making of Girl’s World.

The new line is appropriately named Girl’s World Vibe, and we are ecstatic with the look of this line!!! We hope you love it as much as we do! It won’t be out for a little while, so enjoy it with us via our fabrics page for now. We’ll keep you posted!

Thanks for noticing

We do always try to do something fun when we open our doors locally , there;s nothing more annoying than getting a newsletter than having it not pertain to you.  We appreciate all your comments and do try to give to several winners and believe me if USPS was free I’d give each one of you something.  At the end of every month my husband says your shipping charges are crazy!!! …oh well.  We just appreciate each and everyone of you so much.  You also should know we pluck random winners from here and there just to holla back for all the great stuff you do for us.
