Latest Reviews on Amazon...all 5 Stars!

I have been receiving some fantastic reviews for my book, Stinky Fumes. I wanted to share portions of those reviews with you here. I appreciate all of them!

All 5 Stars!
"Stinky Fumes King of the Wild is one of the most adorable books I have ever read. I highly recommend it to anyone with children. A wonderful children’s book teaching how being different can be a gift. This is a wonderful book that celebrates the difference in us all! I think this is an important message to children, to be accepting of others differences and to respect those differences." ~Shauna

"This is a really cute and fun story to read, and is a book I think that can be used not only by parents for a good night book, but as a teaching tool for parents and teachers to read to slightly older kids to teach them about foster, adoptive families and/or about how being different doesn't (mean) bad things, or that you are not “you” if you are different. That it is OK to be different than what is expected of you." ~Trinton

"I thought a book with a silly name like Stinky Fumes would be a silly book but not so! It’s actually quite poignant and deep and got me thinking. So as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover! What an invaluable lesson to teach our children! What sets us apart doesn't actually make us bad. It makes us unique and special and whatever abilities we have that no one else possesses can be amazing!

"Stinky Fumes is a great life lesson for kids and I shared this book with my four and five year olds. While reading them a book on the Kindle means they don’t get a picture every page, I actually found them listening and paying attention to the words more because of the lack of pictures. Who knew! They both struggle with things about themselves that are different and I’ll remember (remind) them of Pepper the skunk when they are feeling insecure and need their differences championed!" ~IE Mommy

"The book moves rapidly, and keeps you involved throughout, you will experience a wide array of emotions and will find yourself rooting for Pepper and being surprised by his two rabbit friends Tiger and Hopper.

This is a fun book, with a few lessons and some laughs as well." ~Tamirisc

"This story is filled with important lessons that any family would enjoy. I read this book with my two daughters and they really enjoyed the story. Pepper, Tiger, and Hopper team up on a crazy and wild adventure and demonstrate how being yourself can be the only way!!!"~Wael

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and on my Facebook page I shared some craft inspired Valentine projects using bubble gum.

Here on my blog I thought I would share some vintage Valentine's that were found on the net. These were something else! Happy Valentine's Day!

Bubblegum Coloring!

Today I thought it might be fun just to have some pages to color of different people or characters chewing bubblegum or bubblegum related. Perhaps maybe they are chewing Blueberry Bubble Gum?
Once you are finished, show me what you have done. I would love to see them and share them.
