The silence just means I'm busy.

Hey folks, so I haven't posted anything in weeks only because I'm being pulled in all different directions on different projects and I'm heading off for a small mini vacation starting Wednesday with the family.

I can't really share much with what I have in store for you all until next week after the big ALA Conference in Chicago. Sterling Publishing has been really getting the word out on CHICKEN DANCE, and I don't want to disappoint in terms of promotion on my end.

Here's a hint...Some of you may have remembered that I bought a Chicken Puppet...

Well, I bought some fabric, sequins, thread and some glue (Note the disgusting floor. That is the current state of my studio)

and two days later I made Elvis Poultry....

Now, I can add 'seamstress' to my resume! (I wish I had a Bedazzler)

Some folks say sewing is fun and relaxing. I am not one of those people...

AND IF YOU'RE ATTENDING ALA THIS COMING WEEKEND BE SURE TO VISIT THE STERLING BOOTH TO SEE TAMMI SAUER SIGN COPIES OF CHICKEN DANCE STAURDAY AT 3!

I even have a flyer to prove it.

Here's some artwork for Simon and Schuster I'm doing for a Dan Gutman chapter book to show you all that I'm still working away....

One last thing....

My youngest son (I love him to death) is a horrible sleeper at night

So I decided to have some fun

I bought a fake mustache from a 25 cent toy dispenser

and here is the end result.....

I'm going to ALA. I'll look for the booth. Are you going to be there too?
