everything goes with ice cream.....


hip hip horray
I can finally introduce my book to you




{the cover}



{one of the many treats inside}

this was truly a
tasty labor of love
{though I found out the hard way that
ice cream is not the easiest thing to work with
especially when photographing it in the middle of a hot summer's day}

all photographs/ideas/text and recipes are my own
except for a few sweet friends who I asked to contribute
some of their yummiest and sweetest ideas
{will be sharing soon}
*
everything goes with ice cream
will be out early Spring
 but
you can find out more about it
 and
  pre-order a copy
 here
you can even peek inside if you follow the link above and click onto the button
 that says.....preuse our pages below the image!
*
my book does
 stay true to my bluebird notes style
inspiring quotes, sayings and photographs
fill it's pages
each recipe or idea has at least one... if not many photos
that accompany it 
I hope you will love it


thank you for letting me share this with you 
{more info to follow soon}

{xox}

{thank you WWC press and Quarry books}

happy dance........just found out you can pre-order on Amazon too

Congratulations Koralee! LOVE the bright pink ice cream on the cover!

Well done!!!

Maria said...

wooo hoooo Koralee!
The cover is wonderful and really enticing... I'm sure it will attract many ice cream aficionados ~ and who isn't one!!!?!!!
We all scream for ice cream!

Congratulations dear friend!

I will adore having this book in my home ... and that ice cream maker that's been in my shopping cart on amazon.com won't be there for long afterward, I'm sure!

...and...Speaking of books ...

Chris and I have been having one of those "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" weeks...
We put away all the Christmas decorations and it started us moving furniture around, even switching entire rooms around LOL... it's been so silly ~ but it's paying off. Lots of deep cleaning as a result. We're down to the last "pages" ... and almost to the final cookie at the end :o)

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday evening, Koralee!
God bless you and your family. I'm sure they are so very proud of you ~ as are we all!
♥ Maria

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Oh Koralee, I AM OFF TODAY TOO! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

My dear, I am thrilled beyond words for you. I am thrilled for MYSELF too because I ordered this book and I cannot wait. The colors you show here are spectacular, and to think that I will have this in my home is such a joy. You have worked so hard for this and I only can imagine the hours you spent on photographing ICE CREAM! When I was younger and was in theatre arts, I worked in Hollywood from time to time and learned that in those days, when they would shoot a commercial involving ice cream, that they would use MASHED POTATOES because of the melting process of ice cream under the lighting! How you managed to pull this off so elegantly reveals your patience!

NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF a fantastic Friday! Off I go to start a new blog post draft! LOVE! Anita

Sue said...

I am so excited for you! I have no doubt that the recipes will be wonderful and the photos fabulous! I always get my daughter a cookbook for Christmas and I think I have found one for 2013. See-you inspire me to Christmas shop early. Congratulations! I can't wait to get my own copy!!
