Harp Mouse Adventures - Book II


I met with Diane today, author of the new Harp Mouse Adventures - Book II, to see the book for the very first time and to pick up a boat load of copies to spread around town! I am THRILLED! It is BEAUTIFUL! I so love working with Diane, her work is phenomenal. She is a wonderful person and we have become great friends.

I'm so happy to have this book in my hot little hands!

Milford Memories ~ Great Weekend!

One of the many customers that purchased one of the many different styles of T-shirts and paraphernalia sold at Milford Memories 2010 this past weekend. They were bringing them to my booth so I could sign them! I have more pictures to post and will do so soon. These photos are courtesy of Diane Dunn. (Thank you so much for everything Diane)

It's been a busy week since I've been back at work. I owe people prints too! Please be patient while I get those done, I have your names on the list and have not forgotten you! I've been working on portraits this week and I'm starting a new book too!

Thank you ALL for a fabulous weekend!

Diane Dunn (I just love her) and I signing Harp Mouse books at Milford Memories this past weekend. There were over 100 books sold over the entire weekend! The new Harp Mouse companion book will be out shortly! A TWO book set! We were hoping it would be here in time for MM but it didn't quite make it. Good things come to those who wait!
