Prints

"My Mama's milk tastes like rainbows, sunshine and love"

I am now selling a selection of prints from my book, 'The Wonderful Place'. For A4 size printed onto 300gsm fine art paper they sell for $43 including postage. My printer does a lovely job and you can also have the print with matt board shrink wrapped for a little extra. These make a lovely gift. You can email your order to sales@chrissybutler.com

Unschooling Mama

Writing "The Wonderful Place" is now the catalyst for some serious learning for me, in true unschooling fashion. I knew very little about formatting a book for print, coverting things to PDF files, composing letters to prospective retailers.... untill I needed to use this information. In the past few days I have learned so much. I have called and spoken to professionals, friends and children. Although I have had the odd response such as 'I think you are naive to try t do this yourself' I have soldiered on. Writing this book is more about celebrating breastfeeding and gentle mothering than it is a business and I am looking forward to sharing it with others.



Yesterday my very clever friend Roxy and I finished the layout of the book and I am delighted to say that is even more special than I hoped.



It is amazing what we can learn if we don't allow ourselves to believe that we can't. It is also wonderful how things fall into place and the right people seem to come into your life at the right moment.



There is a great quote that springs to mind right now and I am off to find it :)

Book Orders and layout

I have been getting a few pre-release orders which is WONDERFUL :) If you are ordering from overseas please let me know. I will need to charge $26 for orders outside Australia.
