I just flew in from the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival and boy are my arms tired!
Ba-da-boom!
Thank you, folks! I'll be here all week! Try the chicken cacciatore!
Seriously, though, I really did go to Sheep & Wool and I had tons of fun!
More than 3 people bought copies of Can't Sleep Without Sheep - awesome!
I saw MANY sheep - always fun! One was being led around like a dog on a leash, baaing plaintively to his mates behind in the pen. I didn't get a picture because I was carrying all my stuff, but he had very cool long ropy hair - kind of like Bob Marley but a different color :)
I got to read to a bevy of little munchkins in various stages of sugar overdrive from fair food :)
My signing table was right next to Nancy Shaw - yes, THE Nancy Shaw who wrote SHEEP IN A JEEP and many, many others - books I read over and over to my kids when they were little - and I got to meet her and be in a picture with her!

| That's Iza on the left and me on the right, which I felt I should explain since we look so much alike - almost like we're twins :) Or like someone who forgot to take a photo before Iza left just drew a picture :) |
Here she is for real (in a surreptitious photo taken by my camera-girl) signing for her hordes of loving fans with my hair in the background - that's the closest I could come to an actual picture with both of us in it :)
I hope you enjoyed that Fun Photo Fest and my incredible drawing skills. (Now you know why I don't illustrate my own books :))
Oh, and before we go, now seems like a good moment to mention some upcoming fun stuff!
Next week, from October 28 - Nov. 1 we'll be having the 3rd Annual Halloweensie Contest! (Go HERE for details if you'd like to enter!)
Monday November 11 will feature an interview with the one and only Mike Allegra!

Wednesday November 13 we will have a very special Would You Read It!

And who knows what other amazing things may happen by :)
So with all that awesomeness to look forward to, have a marvelous Monday, everyone! :)
