Celebrating A Milestone
My 200th post!
I wanted to write something special for this celebration but I wasn't sure what I would say until this week.
I'm so excited to share my very special news with you.

A Book Launching
Amazon has published my new children's book just in time for my celebration.
"Molly And The Chocolate Cookie Crumb Race" is about three field mice who risk entering the county church during Sunday services. Molly, Purcey and Charlie race each other every Sunday to the chocolate cookie crumbs that are usually always under the third pew on the right. Molly loves chocolate cookie crumbs very much and she really likes to win the race. Molly also enjoys listening to the children's messages about God and his love. She wonders if God loves her, since most people don't seem to like mice.
It's available on Amazon

ReplyDeleteCongrats also on your 200th and what a very generous giveaway. Such a beautiful journal and tags. But then it's all beautiful as always with your work. ♥

Congrats on the release of your book and your 200th anniversary!! Love all of your butterfly creations especailly the butterfly/fairy tag. Thanks for linking up to Word Art Wednesday this week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your publishing! Oh my you must be so excited! I have followed you for sometime but slow getting over for a visit lately. Best wishes for a very successful book!
ReplyDeleteHow very wonderful and exciting, getting your children's book published! It sound's delightful! I always wanted to do that! I do get to paint murals for children, and write little ditties,and songs and sing them to Tommy, my grandson. I love butterflies! My youngest daughter once wrote in a 2nd grade school assignment, "What would your Mother be, if she was an animal?", that I would be a butterfly or a hummingbird. I came across that paper 20 years later, hadn't remembered it, and I was quite charmed! I like the journal, because I try to keep one!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 200 posts! and the book!
Blessings! Linda @ Grandmalay's Daydreams
