I really can't believe it. I cannot imagine what it'll be like to walk into a bookshop and see it there on the shelf. I can't believe that after all this time, after the phone calls and contracts, after all the writing and photographing, after the dead lines and edits and word counts, that the time is almost here. Wow!
So I thought just as a sneak peek we could take you through some of our fave pages and then give you a chance to win a copy for yourself.
Here goes;
My book, Vantastic, is all about caravans and road trips. It is for dreamers and adventurers. It is filled with tips and hints and stories. It has recipes and craft projects and other how to's. It shares bits of my family's road trip story. And it is so much more.
I am super excited to watch it go out into the big wide world.
And I am crazy, super excited for you guys to hold it in your hands and read its pages too. I really, really hope you like it. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!
So would you like to win a copy?
Just leave a message on this post and we'll draw TWO winners next Thursday the first of August. The very same day it goes into shops.
We're happy to post anywhere in the world AND we're all more than happy to all sign the winning copies. Some of us may have even been practicing our signatures.
OK, comment away, you've got to be in it to win it.

Kate this is just fabulous!!! I've been so excited since hearing of this book, then meeting you at MasterClass, that I just can't congratulate you enough on this success!!! how generous to have a giveaway as well!!! I'd love to have a copy of your book...xx
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Congratulations on it coming together so beautifully. The sneak peak is very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWell done Kate, that was a big job! I love checking out an Aussie blog all the way over here in South Africa. Your book would look great on my coffee table ;-). cheers!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not reading your blog as religiously as I have in the past I have had you on my mind a lot lately - always when I'm in my back garden, usually hanging out clothes!! I wonder how Pepper is going at school, how you're coping with the excitement of the book launch and wondering if a book tour might include a small jaunt to Hobart (Fullers is a great local bookstore - you'd be fabulous, and if you don't bring the van you could bunk in my spare room which is also the craft room)!!
ReplyDeleteJust thrilling! Congratulations on it almost being in the shops. I'd love to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so excited for you! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh - would love to win a signed copy! It looks fabulously beautiful with all the pictures of your beautiful family. I'm dreaming of a one-year-trip through Europe in some kind of vehicle, so this would be a great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance and lots of greetings from Germany,
Fine
I know I love it already
ReplyDeleteYou are VANTASTIC

ReplyDeleteOh WOW! How exciting! I was just thinking of your road trip...It was a bit random, I was watching Red Dog and trying to remember if you visited Dampier where it is set...and then I thought gosh I'd like to visit the North of Western Australia...and just go on a road trip around Australia in general...perhaps I should win the book to inspire us ;) Congratulations on a beautiful book!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kate! It looks very inspirational. I hope it sells like hotcakes :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to be on a trip around Australia this term but unfortunately I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have been undergoing treatment. Our plan is to go in third term next year when my treatment is finished and I'm feeling better. I've been reading your blog for ages picking up ideas about taking children caravanning. Would love a copy of your book :)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, this is Karen here, not Marty (he's the husband person in our house!)
DeleteEeeeeep! is so right! This is super duper exciting :) Big congratulations Kate. Yes please, I would LOVE a copy and if the luck gods aren't with me then I will be so happy contributing to your sales figures :)) Kx
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are 'living the dream' too! Our kids are all grown and we left home in SA last October and have been working and looking around QLD and NSW since then. First grandchild due any day so we're home at the moment with plans to explore WA after Christmas. Maybe your book would give us more ideas on things to see and do?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

ReplyDeleteAs a fellow dreamer and adventurer, I am SO EXCITED for you right now!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs a book about Israel next?? I loved all your pics from there too, and we got googling and made the Israeli lemonade - YUM!!
From one road-tripper to another, my bus & I congratulate you :) I really don't need any more things in my bus but your book looks quite beautiful. happy travels xfee http://reallybigroadtrip.com @feesable
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! It looks absolutely divine! I'd love a copy. How cool for your children to be in a book too about their very own family!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about blogs back when you had your big adventure but as soon as I found out about blogs & started reading yours I made sure I caught up quick smart!
ReplyDeleteIt was great reading all about your trip & made me nostalgic for all our caravanning trips we made when living on the east coast. Not a long weekend or school holiday goes by without us wishing we hadn't sold our van....
Needless to say I'd love to win a copy of your book but if I'm not lucky enough to win a copy I'll be going out to buy one. I can't wait to get my hands on it Kate!
Congratulations Kate! This is such fantastic news and I am so happy for you, and so chuffed to have been observing your many journeys - holidaying, crocheting, knitting, sewing, cooking, farming, mothering... and so much more since you started this blog. BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteI am busting to buy a caravan and have little caravaning holidays. Hubby is a little more controlled, so we are going to hire a caravan next school holidays and see how we like it. But really, I want my own caravan with my own little treasures inside. Patience, not my strong point but something I'm learning right now. I'd love to read your book, it looks sensational.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing adventure (the road trips AND the book!) Congratulations! I'd love to win this book and inspire some trips like this with my little girl. Great experiences and memories to be made - but in the mean time while I'm saving up, I'd love to live vicariously through your thoughts, reflections and beautiful photographs. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour book will be the closest thing I get to a holiday this year! It looks fantastic, adventurous, warm and heart-felt. Please pick me! Good luck with the launch x
ReplyDeleteThis looks so very exciting! I have a dream of buying an old van & doing it up.. just to sit in my back yard.. too much moving about will make the curtains all skier-whiff and the vintage canisters roll around. Having said that though, I'm sure I would draw much inspiration from your book so I'd LOVE to win a copy - especially if it has cute signatures!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful. Congratulations, it looks like you had fantastic fun putting this together :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win your beautiful book. My partner and I dream of travelling around the country with our kids and dogs to have a better quality of life, experience new things, and have the chance to travel with our kids before they've got their own schedules!
We're both artistic, crafty types, so finding inspiration that fits with us is tough, and I love you style! Xo
It looks so great!! I am desperate to take our family on caravan adventures around Aus! We inherited one from my parents an early 80's Jayco that is very nostalgic to me!! Congratulations!! X Karen
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you and your family, Kate. You should be proud.
ReplyDelete...and I knew that I should have gotten your autograph before you became super famous ;)
Yes Please. I always enjoy having a read with you and your family, so would really enjoy a road trip as well (without the travel). Thanks for the effort and congratulation. Wishing you every success.
ReplyDeleteIve recently decided that the only solution to my lack of space, mountain of fabric and craft supplies and endless creative dreams is a beautiful vintage caravan studio which could also double as a home away from home when we go family adventuring. This is why Id love to win your wonderful book! Jo x
ReplyDeleteWould love a copy, brings back fond memories of my road trip when my boys were very young, such a special time in our lives. Wish you every success with this beautiful book.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kate, such a wonderful achievement! I'm so excited to read your book, it looks beautiful and will be a great inspiration to us as we plan our own trip in a few years xx
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of your book to give my mum and dad. After a round of chemo, a new knee, a repaired thumb and a nasty jaw infection between them in the past two months, they desperately need some cheering up and inspiration to get themselves out in the van! Congrats on a great looking book. I dream of that moment of walking into a bookshop and seeing my book on the shelf, so I can imagine how awesome it feels!
ReplyDeleteWoW! this is amazing. Well Done. I would love to win a copy, kick me into getting my van renovated. xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The book looks fantastic, and I'd love a chance to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteA big fat congratulations! The book looks wonderful... i love that you call it a book for dreamers and adventurers. We hauled our camper and kids across the country a few months ago and it was, indeed, a grand adventure! And now we're dreaming up the next one...
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations Kate on a wonderful achievement. It looks wonderful. Well done. xo
ReplyDeleteWow Kate. So exciting for you! Congratulations, it looks so beautiful. I especially love the rounded corners! I'd love the chance to win a copy!

ReplyDeleteI have been selling paintings for years by word of mouth, struggle street but my passion!

So good on you and your babes! I'd love to have a copy for my coffee table. And I'll look out for you in the local bookshop too.

How exciting that your book is ready to hit the shelves, Kate; what an achievement. Not sure it will inspire me to take a caravan holiday - but I will love reading it and I loved sharing your holiday adventures on your blog.
