Saturday we celebrated the newly released

Colorful Blessings

coloring book with a book launch and coloring party for us locals. It was great fun filled with laughter, chattering, demos, drawings, connecting with long-lost friends and lots of coloring! You may have missed it, so I'm welcoming you here for a photo tour:

It was a lot of fun connecting with people. There was quite a buzz in the studio...

Lots of coloring fun going on...

I tried a few new things I hadn't done at open studios such as: doing a how-to demo every hour as people rotated through about every hour and a half or so...

And having a drawing for a free book every hour...

Kim tricked me one time (not so hard as I am quite gullible)

Fun talking with people during book signings...

Connections with so many friends, old and new! Woohoo! I haven't seen Teresa in about 30 years!

I am so blessed to have had such great help during the event: Keith, Merri, Kim, and Andrea made it so I could focus on having fun with fellow colorists.

My Wonderful Friends Andrea and Kim - good helpers too :)

The only thing missing in the photos is a photo of Merri who took the pictures and kept the treats comin'. Here is some of her handiwork though: the hospitality station.
