MONSTER LOVE

This cute little monster could be yours!

It's easy to win him and fun too!  In celebration of my new book, The Power Of Cute, I'm holding a contest.  I'm super excited about the book, so I just had to do something special.  Plus, the truth is, I'm a sucker for a cute little character.  I personally sewed (by hand!) all these fun little monsters.  Sure it took a while, but it was oddly satisfying, and now here they are, just waiting to be held and played with.

Here are the contest details.

1. Send me a SASE and I will send you my handmade (by me) Power of Cute Kit.

2.  Use the stickers (not permanent) to make your own cute character.  Take a photo.

Here are two examples.

3.  Post the photo on the Power of Cute facebook page.  Here's the link.

And that's it.  Fun and easy!

A winner will be randomly chosen on November 16th.

I have a limited number of kits, so only one per person please.

If I run out I'll post that information on the facebook page, so check it before you send me your SASE.

Here is the address for your SASE.

A SUITCASE STORY

Once upon a time there was a little suitcase.  He was worn, at one time loved, but now abandoned.  Somehow, one day he found himself on the doorstep of an unusual, but kind family's house.  He knew they were unusual because the cat, sitting on the bright red bench by the back door, told him so.  She said a lot of other things too, but he stopped listening, because he was not so interested in tales of squirrels and mice.
As expected of kind strangers, the little suitcase was invited inside.
He was carefully inspected, then placed on a table and left to ponder his own little suitcase thoughts.

Even though the suitcase was a relatively creative and free thinking suitcase, he could never have imagined what was about to happen next.  In the middle of the night he was picked up and carried away to a secret studio. Early the next morning, before the sun rose, he was carefully placed back on the table in the exact same position as the night before. He looked untouched, but inside he was not at all the same. 

Sometimes outsides do not reflect insides.  While on the outside the suitcase looked sad and worn, on the inside he felt special, new, excited and full of surprises, and indeed he was - full of surprises!

He was filled with The Power Of Cute
