    OMGOOOOOODNESS!!

    It's a lobster-party-clam-bake-cheese-cake free-for-all!!!

    Arnie. 18 pounds?? I'm sure they are concerned.

    I'm sure I didn't lose 18 ounces during rads.

    We will have to keep good track of you before you start getting invisible on us.

    Our honeymoon was up in Maine, along the coast. Happy lobster memories for me.

    ((((((((((((((((((((Arnie))))))))))))))))))))

    Lisa -- it's great to see you, I've been missing your wit.

    Hugs to all beachie-babes up & down the beach.......

    and a hug to anyone who might occaisionally read along, or look at the great pics.

    Jump right in & post, the water's fine!!

    We really do have a welcome mat ready for your arrival.

    Beachies!!! Beachies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My honey just walked in the door. He told me to close my eyes. I did.

    He had the special delivery box holding two copies of my new picture book!!!!

    It's here.

    Today.

    This is it!!!

    Cat's outta the bag, for real, now!!

    I'm the proud mother of two picture books.

    It's been at least three years in the making, maybe four.

    So many crazy set-backs, and computer programing issues & a last minute typo..... and on & on & on & on.

    BUT IT'S DONE!!!!!! It's complete!!!!! Now we await the arrival of the shipment of boxes.

    ***Oh and there's one remaining detail: we still need the CDs to be manufactured (for the back cover) but they are being duplicated as I type.

    Could you all please come over here & help me insert them -- when we have all of the parts????

    OH HAPPPPPPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lisa, the kitchen is finished????  Well, when are you having us all over for lobsta?  I hope it's as nice as you'd anticipated!

    Yay Faith, way to go.  How does one purchase one of these books?  A friend's (well exfriend actually) daughter in law just had a baby.  What a unique gift!!

    Less than five weeks now Arnie.  I'll keep a cookin up pics if you promise not to lose any more weight.

    Wowowie-wow-WoW!!!!

    What a great way to start the day. We have sunshine & each other.

    I actually slept soundly last night. I'll have you know that I put my book down, before going to sleep. With a big, great BIG smile on my face!!

    Dream. You must be getting so excited!!

    I'm so psyched to do some productive "work".......

    Having the book done opens up my whole brain to the next big effort. LOL.

    Remember the quilts for the patriotic book??? (book #3) I'm still only three fourths of the way thru that effort. Now I'm ready to get to focus on that project!! OH HAPPY DAY!!

    Great question Dream.  I'm wondering the same thing.  I don't have grans but do have friends with new babes.

    Dream & Sharon....You can order from her website that you can see in her Bio. The new book might take up a little time to get up on the website to order. But I bet if you let her know in a PM she could get one to you when the books are ready ready to go.

    Awwwwwww my Canadian sweetie-kins.

    My website is the one place to order. If anyone here ever orders anything, when you're checking out it asks for a 'promo code' and if you enter the word "SURVIVOR" you automatically receive a 50% savings.

    You're a bunch of sweet hearts for asking.

    Julz is right. At this point I just have the one copy -- I sent the other to my sister this afternoon (my collaborator). It will take a couple of weeks from now to get the new one organized & onto my site etc. 

    Big hugs of thanks for the encouragement.

    Connie07 how very, very sweet of you to pop in with congratulations. I sure hope that you come back..... I've experienced so much support on this thread & seen so many others offered encouragement in our mixture of sand, sun and sensitivity.

    Here's your complimentary pair of flip flops.
