Band Wagon

I don't usually run with the crowd, so to speak, but some of these are just so clever. This one really tells my story, so I decided to post it.

A shout out to Karma Wilson whose writer version I altered. There's even a site where you can make your own, here.

Happy Valentine's Day

I had a very long list of things to do today: laundry, cleaning, washing floors.... but then I found some red and pink paper, a pair of scissors, and some glue. MUCH more fun than chores!

These will go to some sweet little friends of mine tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy New Year!

A friend of mine said I need to post more often. I told him nobody reads this anyway. If you're willing, please respond---it can just be an "X"!---so I can see if I'm right! Thank you.

Holiday Greetings

May the new year bring you unexpected joy!

Fan Mail

I just LOVE getting letters and pictures from young readers! This splendid drawing arrived in my mailbox today from a child named Maddie in Massachusetts. Her grandparents sent her Gobble, Gobble. In her note, Maddie, who is 7, said she thinks it's a "100% Awesome Book!"

Thanks, Maddie!

Play time

I'm taking a break from working on a book, but still need to find creative things to do. I am guilty of having WAY too much fabric--those "fat quarters" at the fabric store are soooo addictive!--plus leftovers from clothes, costumes, quilts and other projects. So to use them up, (as well as give me an excuse to watch old movies) I've been making things for the Holiday Fair at the Allen Avenue UU Church. The Fair is this Saturday, so after that I'll make a few things for presents.

These little cupcakes are pincushions
