So this morning, I made the trip to Laurens to hit up that Walmart searching for more colors for my bookworms. I couldn't find the Melonberry (1 bookworm available) or Ocean (14 bookworms available), so looks like when those two colors are sold out then there won't be any more, unless I happen to print off the coupons from Hobby Lobby and can find them there or order directly through Red Heart with no discount, which I'd rather not do.
At the end of this week, I will hold a quick guessing contest for the bookworms plus a signed copy of a book -so stay tuned for that.
Just a reminder that the Writing Contest for synopses for my characters from Finally Home is still going on and is open to all students in grade 4 and up. I had thought of just leaving it opened to upper elementary/middle schoolers, but I've decided to let high schoolers enter as well. I've also extended the contest to the 5th of February, so that I can make my rounds on the 7th in the local area to collect any submissions (yes payday so I can have gas enough to run around and gather all the entries) and be able to mail out prepaid envelopes to everyone else. Hoping to see lots of new ideas and lots more stories in the Kelly Watson series. Good luck to everyone - looking forward to seeing what your students come up with. - Keep on writing and see you all in the postings - Mrs. E :)

This and That
I forgot to post this Sunday so figured while I was posting new blog postings better catch you all up on what happened this past week.
Ebook sales are still at nil. Nothing since the middle of the December, but it's all good. Last Wednesday, I went to the Anderson County Library for the showing of Brave and started chatting with another parent who was reading a library book and she bought two of the State books (Successes and Quarries) for her two boys. I also gave each of them a bookworm and a USA map puzzle.
Hoping the rest of the year shows some serious sales but that is a decent start to the year. Now to have about 20 more sales this month - lol - that would really make my day to do that on a monthly basis but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. I'll take whatever I can get.
Friday evening while waiting for my supper at the local Wings place here in town (no, I don't eat wings because they are costly and don't satisfy me - I always get a chicken sandwich which is very tasty), a family came up to pay and I offered a bookmark to the older girl and the mother asked if she could have one too because she was a librarian at a school in Greenwood County. I told her about the writing contest and got her email address to send her the information to pass on to the students. I'll send out a reminder email to all the schools I've contacted around the 21st so hopefully I'll have many entries. I've already purchased the envelopes for the schools to send me the entries. I found some cool ticket reward things for the students whose stories I select at Dollar Tree. So don't forget if you have a student who would like to submit an idea for Kelly and Emma Louise, the deadline is the 31st of this month. All submissions will be considered and I'll probably send a bookworm to each person who submits. Looking forward to seeing what the students comes up with. See you all in the postings - Mrs. E ;)
