Yesterday I went to the library with my 4 year old and he picked out this book - I loved the illustrations and saw that you were from Lakewood (my son was born there! We now live just a little south in Akron) and had to come over to check out your website. :) We love Main Street Cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so happy to hear your son loved my book!
ReplyDeleteThat cooould be sexist, dear - the way you have an immature child staring at a cupcake. Naughty-naughty. Aint it fun nonetheless to think of ways to be anti-establishment??? Aint it fun to peacefully kick.some.ass? Perhaps this'll help you see...
ReplyDelete"This finite existence is only a test, son," God Almighty sed to me in my coma. "Beyond thy earthly tempest is where you'll find everlasting, corpulent eloquence" (paraphrased). Lemme tella youse without d'New Joisey accent...
I actually saw Seventh-Heaven when we died: you couldn't GET any moe curly, 3stooges, extravagantly-surplus-lush Upstairs when my beautifull, brilliant, bombastic girl passed-away at 17.
Find-out where we went on our journey far, far away like the symbiotically, synonyMOUSEs which creep across thy brain bringing U.S. together done in sardonic satires.
"Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the Heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightousness as bright as stars for all eternity" -Daniel 12:3
Here's also what the prolific, exquisite GODy sed: 'the more you shall honor Me, the more I shall bless you' -the Infant Jesus of Prague.
Go git'm, girl. You're incredible.
See you Upstairs...
