This Blog Has Moved!

I have created a blog over at wordpress! Apparently this one is too slow for many of you to be able to enjoy it, hence the move. I'm still tweaking the pages, but all of my posts and comments from blogger have been imported to the new blog so that you can read them there.You now have the option of following via e-mail or by RSS feed! I hope you will all follow at the new location! The new blog could really use some love!

I will also be unveiling a new banner on my blog! I'm so excited about the whole thing. The lovely and very talented Sara Palacios sent me the sketch for it the other day and I am absolutely in love with it! I hope you are just as excited as I am to see it! I will be interviewing her so I hope you read the interview too.

So, have at it! Here's the link to the new blog (just click on my name below):

So Many Ideas...And A Turkey!

What a month this has been so far and it wouldn't have been so without PiBoIdMo! I mean, last year was tons of fun, but this year is even better! More ideas, wonderful posts, and fantastic people....just fantastic! I am amazed at the level of creativity I see each year that I participate. I love the support that this community shows for one another, and the encouragement I receive from them to keep going, going, going. The holiday season wouldn't be quite so great without PiBoIdMo. This much I know is true. It is a great feeling to be united in the same goal: one picture book idea a day, every day, for one whole month! The thing I love about it is that it is not overwhelming at all (unless you are doing NanoWriMo too, which is a WHOLE other story for another time).

It's doable. Doable! As doable as a stuffed belly at a Thanksgiving meal: scrumdiddlyumptios portions of WOW moments for the mind. AND you can be sure I'm partaking of those portions again next year! So here's to PiBoIdMo and the grand EVERYTHING that goes with it! I ♥ you PiBoIdMo for everything that you are and ever will be. My hat's off to you and everyone who makes it possible. My heart is full of gratitude for all of you. So no slacking yet. Keep coming up with those ideas, even if they are few, many, or right on the mark. Participate to your hearts content because it only comes once a year! Thank you Tara Lazar  for putting it all together!

My progress by day thirty: forty-nine ideas, four rough drafts, and a whole lotta fun! 

What's yours?
