Hello Baby!

Had a real treat this month! I discovered this full spread article on my fabric Hello Baby created from my book BABY SIGNS! Pine Tree Country Quilts created this quilt from my various fabric designs (9 total). For my friends interested in doing the same quilt as in this picture, you can go to www.pinetreecountryquilts.com. If you are interested in purchasing the fabric, or to see more of my designs (I did the princess fabric), visit www.elizabethsstudio.com. Fun, fun, fun!

Abigail Iris-The One and Only!

Abigail Iris has hit the book stores. She's a darling story written by Lisa Glatt and Suzanne Greenberg. I had the best time taking my two oldest grandkids on an excursion to San Francisco where we learned all about the things Abigail learns about in the book! I highly recommend this fun, fun story!

Another try at my video experiment!

Hello Bloggers! Some of you have seen my last video for my new book PRINCESS PARTY. I've tried some improvements and this is a NEW video. Any suggestions?

Acapulco Cruise!

Do I have great kids? No doubt about it!! For my birthday, they surprised me with a cruise to Acapulco! It was the best! My daughter Bev and I had a blast!! We watched the cliff divers in Acapulco, ATV'd on the beach of Xhuantenao and snorkled in the coral reefs of Manzanillo! We shopped and shopped to our hearts content! Thanks all to my dear family!

First set of fabrics!

Take a peek! Aren't they cute? This is my first set of fabric designs. They have been manufactured by Elizabeth Studios (a joy to work with!). Princess fabric is due out in a couple of months.

PRINCESS PARTY is a comin!

What a fun, fun, experience creating my first picture book that I both illustrated and wrote. Thanks to the expert advise, help and holding hands of wonderful editor Nancy Paulsen, art director Cecilia Yung and agent Ronnie Herman! This was a "princess party" in every respect. Hope it is a huge success because it was challenging, yet a ball creating it!

My Dad

On September 28th, my "Daddy" passed away. What a guy! He was full of life and fun. I sure will miss him. Mom and Dad have been married for 61 years. Or, should I say "in love" for 61 years because they weren't just married but in love all their adult lives. My brother, sister and I have had a great relationship with our parents. Dad was a wise counselor, and patriarch over our whole family. Bye for now, Dear Dad.
