The Creepiest Kids Books!

I'm kinda thinking these books aren't high on the reading list for my kids.

...says the furry bear with the magnifying glass.

A great gift

B is for baby
See the baby
The baby is fat
The baby is pink
The baby can cry
The baby can laugh
See the baby play
Play, baby, play.
Pretty, pretty, baby.
Mommy loves the baby more than she loves you.

All you ever wanted to know about urine. And its many uses.

With a catchy rhyme that rolls off the tongue, this book teaches about chain of events
involved in dealing crack-cocain.  Very educational!

Complete with hilarious illustrations of horses playing "drinking games and smoking games," Latawnya the Naughty Horse learns a valuable lesson about saying No to drugs. Totally inspirational if you ask me.

Revision Hell and Chocolate!

"I am in revision hell...and now brainless. If only I had a cup of coffee..."

Happy Happy Joy Joy! DOODLE DIVAS are going to be sold in select shops. They are being sold as cards and prints. Pretty soon I'll expand on those. But in the meantime, I'm super happy! There's even more happening, which I can't share at the moment, but I have made a website for the DIVAS and they're just dying to meet everyone! You can visit them at www.TheDoodleDivas.com. Plus, free shipping on all orders in the U.S. till September.

Some of the awesness oozed by fellow writers and besties came up with super fun sign sayings. Jen Daiker came up with "Revision Hell" (above) and Amie Borst came up with "Chocolate" (Below). I'm going to come up with more geared towards writers as well.

So what do you think of the DIVA website?



Inner Diva

Yes, these are my darling Doodle Divas. They happened by accident. Sort of. I was sketching in my notebook while watching a movie with hubby (OMG who's seen CHICAGO and MOULIN ROUGE and DOESN'T love it??) There seemed to be something missing from the drawings so I decided their voices needed to be heard. And I did something I never do. I added color. Lots of bright mismatching colors. And fun outfits. So...the Doodle Divas were born.
