Virtual Book Tour update

We're in the home stretch for my Virtual Book Tour -- I can't believe it starts on Sunday!  It all starts at Scrapbook-Bytes -- see their informational post here. 

Some of the details I've been working on:

Scrapbook-Bytes is going to have a Q&A area in the forum on the 24th where I'll stop in and answer questions etc.

SSReflections is going to host a chat on their YahooGroup on April 26th.

UKScrappers is going to have an Ask Angie? Thread running so visitors can post any questions. (May 1st) 

KiwiScraps is offering a free kit to go along with my Layout Challenge: a custom cut envelope, three sheets of Cream cardstock, 20cm of twill, and a packet of Sarah Heidt acrylic mosaic tiles. (May 6th US time, May 7th NZ time)  They are also coordinating a nationwide event that is really impressive.  I'm thrilled to be a part of it!

We're going to host a Scavenger Hunt at One Scrappy Site on May 7th (National Scrapbook Day), which will entail visiting several sites from the tour.

KristyAnn Nerness and Shea Parker are both finishing up digital kits that will be a part of some of my challenges, as well as prizes for the digital tour stops -- these kits are so awesome!  I love that I get to include a digital component in my tour!  Both these ladies contributed to Book of US, so it's quite appropriate that they design the kits.

I just finished up answering questions for interview articles at About.com and ScrapOutsidetheBox -- GREAT questions from Rebecca and Cristina!  They really made me think!

This tour is turning out to be really ambitious -- I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, since no one I know has done one before.  All the details are a bit mind-numbing to keep track of, but I've really enjoyed working with all the site owners and talented designers.  I'm really excited about the chats and challenges, and talking with all the members of the sites I'm visiting.  That's always my favorite part of teaching classes, talking to people and hearing their ideas.  I can't wait to see what this tour will produce!
