    Hootastic Cupcake Toppers!

    October 4, 2012 /

    So who’s with me? Who’s gonna throw a Little Hoo party on Halloween? Are you getting in the mood? I am.

    You might be now that I’m going to give you some free Hootastic cupcake toppers! Hoot Hoot!

    supplies

    Just print,

    punching

    punch (or cut out with scissors if you don’t happen to have a handy puncher thingy like I do) and attach toothpicks to the back with a little piece of tape.

    Then pop them into the top of your super delicious cupcakes!

    just so

    Ta-dah! Instant Hoo Party time!

    toppers

    Whooooooo’s there? Hoo and all his friends of course!

    willing models

    It’s funny how willing kids are to pose when there is chocolate involved.

    Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!

    Now go be a real hoot and buy my book! Just kidding. No pressure from me. Just a friendly hooty reminder if you might have been thinking of it already. It’s actually selling pretty well which is AWESOME especially since I got some bad news from my editor yesterday. Secret Agent Josephine in Paris might not make it out in time for Christmas. I know, I’m sad too. But it will probably be better for it. Back to the drawing board for me.

    Happy October!

    hoo-love

    I’ve decided that I love October now. I used to hate it but now that I have Little Hoo as my fictional buddy, I love it. So bring on Fall! (Hint, hint: Weather. Summer can get on out of here already with her bad self.)

    Little Hoo is officially for sale now! Woot! If you were thinking of buying my latest book, please do! It’s available in paperback or ebook.

    We also have a fun little fall craft up over at The Shiksa.com. We did this last year and Tori didn’t end up posting it because she had too many other posts going on but she’s using it now. Yay! Bug seems so little in the pictures.

    happy kid

    I mourn the days when she would wear dresses and let me braid her hair in two braids instead of one. Le sigh…

    put the candle in

    Also, gone are the days when she would model for me willingly. Now I have to pay her with frozen yogurt! Bah! Actually, that is a screaming deal since these posts are what are paying my rent these days. Well until my books take off.

    Speaking of…

    #sajinparis Aqui is NOT helping me finish #sajinparis .
    (Bug helping me stay on task. Aqui not so much.)

    I’m almost done with Secret Agent Josephine in Paris!!! Two more pages to go which I hope desperately to get done today so I can have my life back.

    #sajinparis almost done!!

    Hang in there Secret Agent Josephine!
