The title would be:  Color me Twelve

My daughter celebrated her 12th birthday today, so I have to take a moment and say:  My daughter is twelve!!!!!  Just yesterday she was a rubber-ball-toddler who could clear the counter top--not by leaps and bounds, but by running under it.  *sigh*  There was no such thing as time for me until I became a parent.  Now the years fly!

We partied at Color me Mine.  She and her friends at one table, me on my own in the corner (I would have branded myself a dork-parent, otherwise).  I painted away at the cool vase that is part of the Painted Boots buzz event give-away package.  Whoo-hoo!  My daughter thinks I'm nuts to give it away, but I did promise ....

Yesterday, instead of blogging or editing or writing, I spent eight hours scouring my book cover proof and copy lay-out.  So thank you, Createspace designer who I will never know, for your patience with my three pages of art-directing notes.  (I think the cover will be fabulous!)
