Hurrah! Collage Collage is our first Retailer!

One of my favorite creative spaces in Vancouver is Collage Collage, and so I couldn't be happier that it also happens to be our first official retailer! You can find a selection of Draw Me A Lion prints, including our cute 1•2•3Duck Parade long format print, cat & dog colouring posters, colouring postcards and of course our Story Activity Kit! Go and check them out and explore all the other beautiful little treasures that are hidden at this wonderful little shop! It's so great for me to see the Draw Me A LIon line up on the shelf along side so many other great things! Here are a couple of pics including Erin, the owner and creator of Collage Collage. Thanks Erin!

Draw Me A Lion at BLIM Market!

Tomorrow is the first time Draw Me A Lion is going to be part of the BLIM Market! Fun!

Sunday Nov. 20th, 12pm-5pm at the Chinese Cultural Centre, right next to the Sun Yat Sen Garden at 50 East Pender Street. There is NO admission fee to this market! :)

Come on by and check out our pretty things! Blim Market is always a good time with lots of cool vendors. Perfect time to start some holiday shopping! You can even pay with credit or debit because we have a terminal at Blim! Even simpler. Hurrah!

I will also be selling a few copies of 'The Day it all blew Away' and 'Paulina P. for Petersen'. Picture books for gifts are nice;)

Draw Me A LIon is on Cool Mom Picks!

Oh my gosh! We're not even two weeks old yet and we're already being featured on Coolmompicks.com! Check out their super nice post on our Thank You Card Set and Colouring Postcard Booklet! Thank YOU Cool Mom Picks! We just might have to mail you one of those cards now!

Plus I love that the Draw Me A LIon line reminds them of The Phantom Tollbooth, because of course, I also love that book! You guys rock!

Draw Me A Lion on Simply Read Books!

Now we're exactly one week old! I can't believe the launch was only one week ago. So much has happened since then that it feels much much longer.

In my other life I am an illustrator and author of picture books. Both of my books Paulina P. for Petersen and The Day it All Blew Away are published by the Vancouver publisher Simply Read Books. Today Draw Me A Lion is featured on their blog. Check it out. It's run by the talented Kallie George who was one of the first people to purchase the Story Activity Kit and who also happened to be my editor for my second book. Thanks for posting Kallie!

First Orders Shipped!

It's been so busy in Draw Me A Lion Land these couple of days that I forgot to say Thanks to my very first online customers! The first batch of orders were shipped out two days ago already! It was the happiest I'd been to go to the post office in a long time!

The Day of The Launch!

Well, the Launch went off without a hitch! Tons of people came out and helped celebrate the start of it all. I really couldn't have been happier! I was great. Posters and postcards were coloured in, cupcakes were had, champagne was sipped and everyone was excited about the prints, posters, cards and the story- kit. I even gave a little speech, at which point I displayed myself as a little less eloquent and a little more emotional than usually, but hey, it was a special day and so I'm allowed a little outburst of confused stuttering;)

Of course in the general bumble of launch-happiness I sort of forgot to take photos of people's postcards and posters that were being coloured in, but still, there are a few.

Again, Thank You so much for coming out everyone who did! It wouldn't have been the same without you!
