Issue # 115 - April 2018 

The wedding adventure continues! I have been having fun making pew bows for  Nathan's wedding in July. The engaged couple picked the design and ribbon, but I loved that they took my suggestion of the sparkling cord. I only have eight more to go! Then I definitely need to loose a few pounds before we take a bunch of wedding photos. I'm looking forward to a picture with everyone dressed up! Next month-the dress and shoes! Hope you have a great rest of the month!
Children's Literature Legends
I was s o sad to learn of the passing of three fabulous children's authors: Jean Marzolla (I Spy), Anne Rockwell (tons of non-fiction picture books), and Russell Freeman (awa rd winning non-fiction). What a loss to the publishing community! I was lucky enough to meet Anne Rockwell. She was as kind as she could be!  
Authors For Earth Day!
I was tickled to visit Ashland, Kentucky as part of an Authors for Earth Day celebration. I love visiting schools and this one was made even more amazing because a concerned parent sponsored my entire visit! Ashley Carter was my host and she paid my honorarium as well! Russell Primary School is lucky to have her as a volunteer! I donated a portion of my fee to The Humane Society of the United States since that's the organization the students chose to support. Here's a article about the event.

Hope you will join me at the Southern Kentucky Book Fair on April 21st in Bowling Green, KY or in Evansville, Indiana on April 22nd (Earth Day) at 1:00 at the Barnes and Noble.
