Party!


Since my artwork is so apealing to little ones I thought it was time to do something bigger with them...

Thus the party pack came into motion. Little items to put in gift bags at birthday parties. Come to think of it, a teacher or anyone else working with children could use them as incentives, rewards and other things.

So, along the lines of children here is something I turned up in Etsy today that I'd really like to share.

One of the more interesting aspects of etsy are all the self publishers out there. Some indy, some how-to, patterns, and here... children's lit.

Here is The Boy Who Had Moldy Cheese Pizza Under His Bed by Rynski. Cute book, interesting title, sure to make kids giggle at the thought of it.

Etsy really makes it possible to do things you couldn't normally do, like showing your hand made books and selling them. Even with Lulu and amazon marketplace... Etsy lets you have real books made by hand be real people, and for children that is showing them something important even at a young age.

Another interesting aspect is that a lot of sellers will sell digital versions of their books for you to print yourself. No shipping, you don't have to print it so you can save trees. It really is the pioneer of e-book trading.

    thanks so much for mentioning my kooky book - i am thoroughly honored. yes, it does induce giggles from kids and adults alike.

    it also serves as a cautionary tale of the horrors that await kids who don't clean up their room....hahah.

    thanks again and keep up the excellent work,
