THE FIXER UPPER Launch Party

Long-time fan David took the cake--literally--he won THE FIXER UPPER cake drawing

Missy and Naomi--fund-raisers for Avon 3-Day cancer walk


Anne was the first book-buyer of the night!

The calm before the storm

As my grandmother would say, "A good time was had by all!" We had THE FIXER UPPER launch party tonight at Feast restaurant in Decatur, and it was so much fun. We even raised a little money for breast cancer research. Launching a new book is a lot like birthing a baby--minus the stretch marks. So it helps to have wonderful friends, family and fans surrounding you when you send your baby book out into the world. Thanks to all who came, and those who wanted to come--but couldn't. Here are the plugs: Eat at Feast--on East Howard in beautiful downtown Decatur, Ga. Fantastic food, great folks, I swear, you'll love it. Buy desserts at Sweet n' Sinful Bakery in Avondale Estates, GA. Two words: caramel cake. Seriously. Get your fixer upper supplies at Intown Ace Hardware in Decatur. Buy books at The Book Exchange in Marietta. Owner Cathy Blanco always throws a great party. And she's funny. If you missed tonight's party, I'll be back there on July 18, and Cathy has plenty of signed copies of THE FIXER UPPER if you need one before then. Now, don't forget, y'all. Get out there and buy THE FIXER UPPER! I'll be blogging from the road, so check back early and often.
