homework: reading {mod podge rocks} & a giveaway

By now you may have heard about Amy Anderson’s new book Mod Podge Rocks. It’s been featured on many sites lately and I couldn’t wait to get a copy and have a look for myself.


I’m a big fan of Amy and her blog Mod Podge Rocks. Her tutorials are always easy to follow and provide step-by-step instructions for a Mod Podge novice like me. Amy’s book is no different – over 40 fun projects with tutorials that demonstrate the various podging techniques.

How could I possibly mess up with step-by-step photos like these to guide me. 

The book covers projects like these simple storage containers to home décor items, holiday décor and even wearable items like boots and a bike helmet. Yup, you really can decoupage your world.

How fun is this old cash register?

And this children’s art bracelet is priceless. 

I really think if it’s not moving, Amy could Mod Podge it. 

Apparently I spoke to soon. It looks like Amy podged her dog. Or at least Mod Podged a little outfit for him.

Now for the fun part. I’m giving away a copy of Amy’s new book Mod Podge Rocks and a goodie bag of Mod Podge. 

Here’s what’s included in the prize:

1. Mod Podge Rocks {book)
2. Mod Podge Antique Matte
3. Mod Podge Gloss Wash Out for Kids
4. Mod Podge Jewel Glue
