*COLORING PAGE TUESDAYS is 5-years-old! GIVEAWAY!!!* This is IT! May 11th marks 5 YEARS!!! I had no idea what I was getting into when I started my coloring pages so long ago. But not only have they proved to be the best marketing for me and my books I could have ever conceived - they have brought me so much joy. Your emails and notes over the years have kept me going through some of the toughest times in this crazy world of children's publishing (and believe me, it can be tough). And its thrilled me to no end to know you've shared them with your children and young readers. SO! To celebrate, I am giving away one of my books (your choice - it can even be a coloring book) to one of my BLOG COMMENTERS. How have you used my coloring pages and what have they meant to you? Now's your chance to share! And I'll sign and dedicate the book for you and send some bookmarks along as well. Thanks so much for the years of appreciation - it's meant the world to me!

Teaching at Hollins University!
     In case this banner hasn't caught your attention yet... I will teach in the Children's Book Illustration Certificate program at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia this summer. Think of it as creative camp for grown-ups with a serious professional development focus. I hope you can join us! (Click the banner for more information.)

Lucky Trolls

I've opened an Etsy store to sell my little Love Trolls. Some people knit while watching tv - I make trolls. Each one is unique, like my newest one - Maxwell, and there are only a few of them available. I hope you'll check them out! (Click the logo or Maxwell to visit my store.)

Card Makers and Colorers!

     Each week I feature a card or coloring page created by one of YOU using one of my images and uploaded to my gallery.
     Paula of Operation Write Home (cards for soldiers overseas to send to their loved ones) created a sweet birthday card in celebration of Coloring Page Tuesday's 5th anniversary. She used my Cupcake image - in chocolate. My fave!
     Click the image to visit my gallery, click her thumbnail and visit Paula's blog to see her creations and leave her a comment.

CALL FOR ART!
Have you or your children colored or created something using one of my Coloring Page Tuesday images? If you post it on a blog, you can also post it to my gallery and maybe I'll share your creation next week! (It doesn't have to be a card - I like 2-year-old scribbles too!)

Did You Know...
      I create my coloring pages for teachers, librarians, booksellers, and parents to enjoy with their children, but also to let the public know about MY BOOKS. I hope you'll take a moment to check them out and spread the word! Word of mouth is the best advertising I can get, so I'm counting on YOU!
