Tell us a bit about yourself, your book.
HK: My name is Heidi Kenney and for the past 8 years I have run a website called My Paper Crane where I blog about the things I make and do. Just before Christmas my first book came out and it's called Every Day's A Holiday. I have two boys and I have a firm belief of celebrating! I love any excuse to make a day special, and in my book I have 50 crafting ideas for celebrating holidays all year long.
What inspired you to write it/pursue your project?
HK: I was actually approached by Chronicle and asked if I would be interested in the project. They thought it would be good fit.
What's your favorite part? :)
HK: It's hard to pick a favorite part but I really enjoyed making the recycled robots with my youngest son, and the watermelon monster always seems to be a hit at parties.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
HK: My kids, life, thrift shopping, old children's books..
Are you currently working on something new?
HK: I might be making some brand new products with two companies, but it is always a long process that I hate to talk about it until things are finalized, since things can sometimes fall through.
Any tips for writers/crafters who might be thinking of writing their own book?
HK: I would say just put yourself out there. If you have a blog try and keep it updated consistently. Just keep doing something you love and don't give up if it takes awhile before publishers notice.
