Life is Messy Kitchen with Mayi Carles from Heartmadeblog!


Ladies, I need your help!  My friend, Mayi Carles needs my help so I am calling on all my friends reading this.  She is launching her cookbook, Life is Messy Kitchen, in less than a week now!  Talk about nerve wracking, huh?  

She is awesome and adorable and friendly and super smart! In sha Allah (God willing) she is going to knock it out the ballpark!
 
Go, Mayi, Go!

 Life is Messy Kitchen officially comes out Tuesday, November 18, 2014.

  She invited me to participate in a pre-launch virtual pot-luck, as an official ambassador of her Life is Messy Kitchen Cookbook!  My episode, Domesticraft . . . Diva in the Kitchen, will be featured on her blog Heartmade on Novemember 19th, next Wednesday!  I want to put out a special invitation to you, to be an official ambassador too!  It sounds like it's going to be super fun . . . she did not have to twist my arm to help out!

She's offering some super cool prizes for being so kind and helpful (she's hoping Oprah is going to give her a call, I'm thinking I want to hear from Martha Stewart!) AND I'm going sweeten the pot with a cute little prize too!

I'll do a drawing for the super cute prizes above, kind of like I did last week.  Comment and share on the blog post and Facebook and Instagram and Pinterest both on my sites and Mayis too, if you could!  The drawing for the above prize which includes the 4"x6" recipe card holder/journal date card, a roll of adorable washi tape, a spool of red and white baker's twine and a super bird cage die-cut wrapped with the cutest trims!  Seriously cute!  AND the bag too!  Sweet Camero model and the awesome Arizona sun and pool side loveliness are all mine!  Sorry, peeps.

  1. I really want some calorie free cookie points! Nancy, you know so many creative and interesting people. I popped over to her blog and what a fun place it is. I'm afraid for my daughter to see it, because there are two things over there she loves: cooking and drawing!

  2. Hi, Dana!

    Free cookie points, who wouldn't, right?

    I do know so many creative and interesting people, don't I, you just happen to be one of them! :) I've "known" Mayi for years and she is every bit as sweet and smart and genuine as she appears!

    Did you watch any of the "Friday Video Time" videos? You would love them, they are a hoot and I always come away with some good information and a giggle or two or 18! :)

    Thanks for popping in here, too!

  4. Hi R.S.

    I'm SEW excited too! I'm just now working on a blog post to help Mayi promote her Life is Messy Kitchen Cookbook Launch-O-Rama TODAY! I'm also talking about my rebranding of Domesticraft . . . I even made a new blog header! That was a blast! :)

    Thanks for stopping by, girlfriend! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! Remember to holler with how I might can help you tweak your blog a little! I'm happy to help! ♡

  5. Love the header so so SO much :) And I love the idea that it isn't the END - it's the beginning…but really it's the journey. What a lovely, lovely way to see the path we take. You *know* I feel the same way!

    What recipe are you going to do?! I've been looking and looking at the cookbook, and we can't decide! Everything looks amazing.

  6. Thanks so so SO much :) If's so nice to be doing that stuff again, now that I'm getting this whole digital thing figured out!

    I think it's pretty important to keep positive, help people and get out of our own way! Oh, and hang with like minded peeps, like you Kris! (and everyone else who reads my little blog!)

    I am making, actually I made it and did the photo shoot and ate some too! Pretty dang good, if I do say so myself! :) I made zucchini fettuccine and sweet potato fries, with my own spin. ;) Delish! Now, I've got to write the blog post and hit publish and then eat some more of it!

    Craft Happy!
