KNOXVILLE MUSEUM OF ART


This past year has been so much fun! I have met so many wonderful people, had opportunities to do book signings in really fun and sometimes once in a lifetime places (2010 World Equestrian Games.) I am sure God created all these events and opportunities for both the cookbooks and for me. For this, I am truly thankful!

The Kentucky Cookbook “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities” was released just 2 years ago and has been used by over 100 organizations as a fundraiser. The Tennessee Cookbook, “Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities" was released by the publisher just 2 months ago and there are over 20 organizations already selling the cookbook as a fundraiser.

One of the organizations is the Knoxville Museum of Art, which was also a contributor. The Tennessee cookbook is being sold in their gift shop. They sent a recipe for Microwave Peanut Brittle.

The Knoxville Museum of Art, located on the site of the 1982 World’s Fair, includes five galleries, as well as a Sculpture Terrace, & 2 large outdoor garden areas. The Museum collection consists of work primarily from the 20th & 21st century. Kitsy Hartley, one of their longtime docents & volunteers makes the peanut brittle & brings to staff functions as well as volunteer activities.

Now to all the wonderful people who have contributed recipes, purchased a cookbook to help with numerous fundraisers, and those who just happen to stop by to read this blog, I hope you had a very blessed Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year. Thank you for all your help and God’s blessings.

Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Book Signing



Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Book Signing

September 28, 2010
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Kentucky Experience Pavilion.

The Kentucky Arts Council has invited me to do a book signing during the World Equestrian Games. This is such an honor for me! They plan to feature various authors (book signings), artist, & musicians (Demonstrating art & music) from across Kentucky.

The proceeds from any cookbooks sold will go to the Kentucky Arts Council. I think God is creating so many wonderful opportunities for the cookbooks and for me!

More about the Games: The World Equestrian Games are comprised of the world championships for eight equestrian sports. The Games are held every four years, two years prior to the Olympic Games, and are governed by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).
This is the first time they have been held outside of Europe.

I also have 2 other book signings scheduled the next couple of weeks.
