Rockin' the B&N

Want my autograph? It'll be valuable someday. ;o)

Had a marvelous time signing books and doing the make 'n' take project with people who came to Barnes and Noble Alderwood today. Our names and books in the window and everything...

We held the signing in the cafe... lots of room for people to come see the rooms up close.

Tally explained how we put together the collaborative art project that resulted in the book...

...and I kicked off the make 'n' take of paper dolls.

I'm not sure how much we raised for the Arts Council of Snohomish County...

 ... but I do know these two fabulous ladies (I think they're sisters) gave us a nice boost.

Then Julie, Tally and I wrapped things up by signing some more copies of the book.

So you can still get a signed copy!

Remember, if you buy a copy online by March 25th, and you use the book fair voucher ID # 10169696...

... you can still help out the Arts Council. And leave me a comment -- especially if you came to the book signing or bought a copy of Mixed-Media Dollhouses. I've got plans for you for April... that is, after I recover from Artfest...

Quick quick -- Friday's book signing

Look -- a new fan, dazzled by the actual mixed-media dollhouse rooms!

Tally's talking art with this wonderful lady who made a point to come out to the book signing at Everett Artist's Supply yesterday. It was a nice day for it... see how much sunlight we still had, at 5-ish?

I guess it's pretty hard to motivate to go somewhere at the end of the work week and the end of the day. But Tally and I still welcomed the diehards who endured Friday evening rush hour to see the rooms in person. To all of you, thank you so much.

Next stop: Barnes and Noble Alderwood -- see the book insert that tips off people browsing in the crafts section?

Click on the details in the sidebar... hope to see you there tomorrow!

Your book purchase counts!

I'm really looking forward to seein' y'all at the book signings in (less than!) two weeks. And guess what arrived on my doorstep yesterday -- the dollhouse rooms you'll see when you come meet us!

Tally sent up rooms from the Wonderland house and the Treehouse. Here's a peek:

Also, when you come to the March 21st signing at Barnes & Noble Alderwood, print out this this voucher to use when you get to the register:

I'll really miss you if you can't make it to the book fair, but never fear! Buy the book online between March 20 and March 25th and enter the book fair ID #:
