Fly Away Home

My friend, Beth, who lives in Florida, went to a luncheon last week where Jennifer Weiner was speaking.  She and I are both fans and I was so envious, being stuck up here in northern NH where authors never venture.  But, I got the next best thing: a autographed copy of Fly Away Home.  I read it and reviewed it last summer when it first came out.  Great book!

I think it's my first ever autographed book!
It's extra meaningful for me because I associate this book with my mom since I was reading it when she died and it gave me solace to think of her flying away home to my dad. 
This is the journal page I did of it.


Jennifer was kind enough to have her picture taken with Beth and they even had a little chit chat.  I so wish I could have been there!

Thanks again, Beth!

Love Jennifer Weiner! What a great gift. Oh, and your journal page is beautiful. I keep thinking that I may want to start an art journal one day. Perhaps i should finish a project first though....

I absolutely love Jennifer Weiner. How cool that she was able to meet her in person and get a picture! Your page for your mom is simply beautiful. I'm giving away a copy of Kristin Hannah's "Night Road" this week if you're interested ...
