Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a book celebrating the incredible, awesome, special individual within each of us. It's also a book for anyone who has ever mismatched her shoes or trimmed her own bangs when a professional might have been a better choice or added too much soap to the washer and watched it overflow.(Not that KariAnne Wood has ever done any of these things.)Fans of The Magnolia Story and The Pioneer Woman will love this debut memoir from the beloved Thistlewood Farms blogger. So Close to Amazing is a collection of hilarious and heartfelt reflections on getting it almost right―and how, instead of giving up, we can choose to simply embrace our real selves right where we are. It's a story of transparency and honesty and recognizing that perfection is completely overemphasized and overrated. It's about grace and learning from mistakes and rejoicing in every victory, no matter how small. Because when you find joy in the "you" God created you to be, you'll discover the amazing that was there all along.Contains beautiful DIY project ideas anyone can do, whether you're Pinterest perfect or craft challenged--homemade signs, centerpieces, recipe walls, and more!
How to be amazing -- Leap before you look -- Knock, knock; who's there? -- I would move six hundred miles -- Every house needs a happily-ever-after -- Never underestimate a slippery spaghetti ring -- A floor without end -- Trash-talking -- The roast thatwent to garden club -- The day Goliath met a T. Rex -- My achilles hips -- Flooded with possibilities -- If you blink, you'll miss the french fries.
