We arranged a trade for some books. Her sister's books alone are BEAUTIFUL...but because Jules is Jules...she smacked me hard with a wonderful selection of cigars and sorts of goodies....I can't wait to open that little bag of BAM BAMS this weekend:)

Thank you, Jules

Falling Water, do you have a date this weekend?

Nice trade,

Nice books, cigars and stuff,

Cool.

Awsome hit there Jules!

That 'cold night' books looks cool...

might have to look that one up...

Who's the publisher?

very nice

Lisa,

If you do a search at the giant place that sells books under the author's name, you should find the book. You may have to order from one of the other booksellers there. You can also find books that she illustrated for others as well. She illustrated a Tomie DePaola book called The Legend of the Persian Carpet.

I am the author/illustrator's biggest fan. 😉

^ooh! I'm going to look for that one too!

big chief...nah. I'll be a homebody this weekend. I think the Bam Bams are a boxing toy of some sort...I will open them when I catch my breath tomorrow:)

Beautiful books!

I LOVE Tomi de Paola - especially "The Art Lesson." He usually does all of his own illustrations - what a coup for your sister, Jules!

bah.....Tomi= Tomie. Darn cold fingers....

FYI, if you do buy one of her books, I would be happy to get it signed for you. Send it to me and I will run it up the interstate, get it signed and send it back.

The Bam Bams are those long inflatable tubes they give out at sporting events that you are supposed to smack together. These are from the Fever. Based on how many times Grumpie whacked me with them at the game, I can tell I will soon be Erica's absolute favorite person!

LOL! I figured it was something like that...oh the kids are gonna LOVE you! books AND Bam Bams AND candy
