If you are wondering where we are, or what we have been doing lately, here is our answer. We have been chasing after the most wonderful little girl in the world. We are happy to say that your help made our trip easier! Thank you!!
We will still sell coloring books if you are interested. I will throw in an original color sheet to go with it. Just decide on your coloring book and let us know what you want!

Aliens! (coming soon)
I know it has been awhile since last we posted. Honestly, the build up to, and the effort of having a table at the Hop Festival took a lot out of us. We have also had a change in our direction, but the result will remain! We will be come parents!! You can help!
I am leaning toward Aliens and Space as the theme for the next coloring book. A few examples are shown here. It may take awhile, but we will get it ready and printed soon. It will probably be out before Christmas, though much depends on when we travel to China to get our little girl! In the mean time, we need to sell, sell, sell!!
So, think of all those kids in your lives! Wouldn't they love to have a coloring book? Hand drawn, hand made, and packaged with care, here in Washington, you don't get this amount of care from the big box stores! And every dime goes into our adoption fund. What more worthy cause is there?

Color Crayon Rolls
Here they are! These are limited edition crayon rolls! Once I sell out there is no guarantee that I can make more in the same fabrics! They are $10 for a 16 crayon roll and $12 for a 24 crayon roll plus $3 for shipping. Email me for shipping rates on multiple orders. Crayons are included unless you specify that you don't want them, if it is hot where you live I do not recommend shipping the crayons but I will put them in a separate plastic baggie just in case there is some meltage.

Story! Color Me Home!!
There once was a family who wanted a little one. That much is true, but that is not how this story begins. It actually begins, “Once upon a time there was a kingdom with a castle…”
The STORY is done!! It has a name, too! We titled it, “Color Me Home.” Considering that it is a story about a dragon looking for a home and it is ALSO a coloring book…well, that is just an AWESOME title! And Cora gets the credit for writing it and titling it. All I did was draw some pictures. So, without further ado, here are a few pictures.
These will be on sale at the Moxee Hop Festival! We have not sold any of these yet. YOU! Could be the first one on your block to own one!! Yes, these will be gone before you know it and then where will you be? The STORY is where it’s at!!
The Hop Festival is free. There will be plenty of activities for kids and the entire family!! There will be great food and great entertainment! It is the place to be this weekend!! Drop on by and see us!! If you mention that you are a follower of our blog (this blog) you get a free pack of crayons!! Come out and see us!!!!!
August 6th from 5pm to midnight and 7th starting at 7AM!!! Come out and have some fun!!
