Greetings, everyone!
16 days remain in my quest to fund green bean zine until 2014!
I’ve raised over $200, but I’ve still got one heck of a way to go! This week I started connecting with some bloggers I follow to see if they might be interested in supporting green bean zine. I was lucky enough to hear a response from the stellar Pittsburgh yogini and podcaster Elsie Escobar as well as WordPress starlet, Stephanie Utrecht of thebowtiebutterfly!
I’ve been listening to Elsie’s yoga podcasts for years now. She offers free, full-length audio yoga classes (And now she even offers a video class! How exciting!) on her website with pose-by-pose images of class sequence breakdowns. She also has an iTunes app or your i…Products. It’s all quite fancy. Anywho, Elsie agreed to take a peek at some of my zines and potentially, write about/mention them in one of her episodes! She and I may even get the chance to do a short interview! Cross your fingers for me 
Stephanie’s blog — thebowtiebutterfly — has been featured on WordPress.com’s “Freshly Pressed” and has a killer blog about art, design, DIY, and fashion! Her post about Book Wreaths really drew me in! She just backed and blogged about green bean zine. Thanks so much, Stephanie!
In other news…
Dumpstered some charming, old timey postcards (actually, they were just blowing down the street…) to use for backer prizes!
Aren’t they neat?
I’ve started folding zines to prep for new backer prizes, too…
Let the folding begin….
Banjo’s been helping me out, too, providing emotional support and such. [P.S. He's actually looking for a new home right now: If you're interested or know someone who might be, let me know a.s.a.p.! Thanks!]
“Will work for Jif.”
Much L OV E and Bear Hugs,
