Roof Raising,and books!

May 3, 2010

We had a GREAT time at saturday’s book signing.  we sold over $100 worth of books in two hours to give to Sarah Noble School’s  Student Council to add to their “Raise the Roof for the Animal Shleter” campaign.

A very special thanks to to Karin at The Bent Page. She opened up her shop on her BIRTHDAY and offered us the use of her awesome shop.   I adore this book store- I usually go there witha  few books to exchange,and leave witha BIG bagful to bring home.

My pal Trish Haldin came by to take a few photos-   I love her work!  She loves animals, too, and so sweet to come by and take pics…
