First and foremost: Happy Veteran’s Day. A big thank you to everyone who has fought and continues to fight for the freedoms I have.
Judging from my posts, I imagine many think my life is all about CPSIA. Good news: It’s not. I’m excited to say that recently the creative juices started flowing again (albeit it in slightly different directions).
Words to Sweat By™ - Love of Cupcakes
My first adventure is a Whimsical Walney product for adult consumers. The new line Words to Sweat By is meant to bring laughter to what may sometimes be a monotonous routine. These workout towels poke fun at the very reasons why people have a love/hate relationship with exercise and the gym.
New designs will be listed over the coming weeks and I’m hopeful there is something that catches your eye and your funny bone.
My second adventure still involves writing, but for a wholly different audience: children. Oh wait, you’re saying, I thought you quit the kid biz! I did stop selling things for children but the CPSIA can’t stop me from writing for them.
To get the ideas flowing again, I signed up to participate in Tara Lazar’s Picture Book Idea Month which is happening throughout November. It is great fun to open up my Word document every day and start typing. I jumped into this effort with both feet and will even be doing a guest post for Tara on November 28th about how where I draw inspiration for my picture book ideas.
It’s wonderful to be back in the groove.

Geez, when I saw that I thought you meant 10 more (Congressional) Representatives and cupcakes will be banned. Yeah, I’m just that jaded.
That is hilarious! Had I been in a CPSIA mentality when I created them, I probably would have jumped to the same conclusion upon reading it after typing.
