Last nite my friend Betsy and I went to Barnes & Noble where Amy Sedaris was signing her new Book Simple Times, Crafts for Poor People. Yep, that’s the title! She spoke beforehand, did some craft demo’s, and answered questions from the audience. Her new book is pure mental illness and involves a lot of googley eyes, pompoms, acorns, pantyhose,I think you get the idea. It is full of fantastic photo spreads, “Stretching Before Crafting” being one of my favorites! Well, After waiting on the line for hours and some security guard complaining to me the store was closing, I finally got to Amy.  I gave her a Stencil1 gift package – a tote bag with my Stencil 101 Stationery set and Stencil1 Journal. She said “I love stencils!!  This one’s actually a keeper!” She was so funny, cute and chatted with every person on that line. Thank you Amy! Hope you all enjoy the pics!


Amy Sedaris took part in the BUST Craftacular and I was there to stick my fat head in this picture and get her book I Like You autographed. I told her about Stencil1 and she checked out the stencils and said she liked the Pine Branch. I pegged her for more of the retro stuff, who knew. Anyway, she looked hot and was being insane and funny. And her book is genius, quite the bang for your buck. Yay.
