Picture Book Review
I love, love, LOVE! the new Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld book: Exclamation Mark ......!!! Great concept, great design, great story!

Mock Newbery
Well, I've been MIA for a few months but one of my New Year's Resolutions (which is actually all of my old ones that I never, um, resoluted?) is to actually post MORE on my blog.

Harry Potter Club
At our Harry Potter Club this month we made these really cool Lumos/Nox lightswitch plates that I found via Pinterest. A very talented person made the original picture on her computer and printed it out to put on a lightswitch plate. I took the picture of her finished product and printed it out (making it … Continue reading Harry Potter Club
