I was downtown picking up some artwork this morning after dropping Guppy off at preschool, and I stopped in to two of the gift stores downtown with some samples. One place I had to leave a card and a coloring book with a cashier (SHE was super excited, at least), the other I got to hobnob with the owner for a long while, and she ordered some books (and pencil sets), and also signed me up to do a First Friday signing, probably in July when the next Alaska book is out. Woo!

I struck out at Fred Meyers trying to score the baby doll shirt I need. Tomorrow I will brave Walmart before delivering coloring books. Wish me luck!

Now, I have some precious, precious art time since the monster is blissfully napping, and I'm going to go use it!
