My author friend, Carly Major, has the e-book version of her new book for free on Amazon today! I absolutely love it and I think you all would too. So check it out and leave her a great review on Amazon! I’ll put the link in the comments. (Side note is that this book was designed by Andrea Ketchelmeier who is also my book designer. She’s the one who lays out the text in a cute and fun way and designs the cover)

Meet the new cast of my next Ellowyn book! But I need some ideas for their names. Spam me with fun names.

The Bulldog is already named Sir Pudge.

The dachshund is a cheerful girl.

The poodle is a sophisticated girl.

The corgi is a glamorous girl.

The cat is a grumpy boy.

Maple crashed a photo shoot I was doing with my daughter so I made her sit for a photo. Haha! She obviously needs a hair cut. You can't see her cute eyes. Poor thing. Who here is good at dog grooming? I try but I'm not great at it. She probably gets made fun of by other dogs for her hair cuts.

Come see me this super cute vintage themed vendor event in Albany! So many fun booths to explore. There is also a home and garden show next door and food trucks. I’ll be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

This is the cutest event I’ve been to and I’m really looking forward to having a booth here next week!

Fun news! I’ve teamed up with Moss and Maple Bakery and she has made me these adorable felt cookies that my customers can get to go along with my Ellowyn’s Kitchen Chaos board book or picture book. She’ll also be selling cookie-book bundles in her Etsy Shop.

Have a happy Easter! He is risen!

Before and after: Ellowyn loves having her hair straightened. We don’t do it very often because it takes a lot of time and as a kid, it doesn’t stay looking nice for long. But if you have curly hair, you know how much fun it is to be able to run your fingers through your hair when it’s straight.

Come see me at the education conference in Keizer, OR today!

I’m finished with my board book, Ellowyn’s Kitchen Chaos for Little Hands!! I sent the file to the printer. Yay!

I was hoping I’d have the books in April but now it’s looking like it will be probably be in May.
