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!!

This is the STORY

The long awaited fifth coloring book is nearly done!  It is a story of Cora’s creation.  I have done the illustrations.  (She had the story done in one day…it’s taken me months to do the drawings.)  You and your kids can do the coloring.

Ready for the Clumsy Dragon?

Once upon a time there was a kingdom with a castle…

and a King and a Queen and a Princess…

The kingdom ALSO had a very Clumsy Dragon…

Who was ALWAYS getting into trouble…

The Princess, a Knight, and the Clumsy Dragon go on a fun adventure that you and your children will love!

For the rest of the story and the pictures, come see us at the MOXEE HOP FESTIVAL in Moxee, Washington on August 6th and 7th!!  We’ll be waiting for you there!!

Cafe Press Debut!

We have opened a Cafe Press Shop.  Now, if you want, you can wear our Color Me Home Logo any where!  All proceeds benefit our adoption. Check it out and let us know what you think.

You can get the design on almost anything, I especially like the coffee mugs.

Go HERE to check them all out!

Preview!

So what do you think?  

Finished Dragon!

I took a little while tonight and colored a dragon.  It's the one I affectionately refer to as the Cow Dragon.  I am sure most people don't find him particularly alarming.  I thought the stripes and lovely color scheme might make him look a little more menacing...what do you think?

The Dragons are getting a lot of OOOOHs and AHHHHs out of the school age crowd.  We have sold a fair few, but we still need to move that little thermometer up a bit!  The next books, the one with a story and one with princesses ARE on their way.  I will be concentrating on one or both this week.

Also, have a look at the Gallery for some new fan/customer colors!

Crazy Love Challenge!!

Though a new blog friend I found this blog, a Place Called Simplicity and they are hosting a Crazy Love Challenge.  If you are in the process of adopting and fundraising you can put a link on the blog to help spread the love.  So you may not need a coloring book but check out these other fundraisers. What a fun way to shop and help a little one come home! 




For those that are just stopping by from Linny's blog, Color Me Home is a fundraiser that we have created to help with the expenses of adopting our son from Burundi.  Jim draws all the pictures himself and then we bind them into fun coloring books.  If you want to learn more about our crazy and not so ordinary family check out No Ordinary Family.

If you would like a coloring book use the donate button and let me know which one you would like in the notes section or email me.  We are asking $5 per book and $2 for shipping the first book and $1 for each additional book.  Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks for visiting.
