Psst. I’m hosting a #giveaway on my Instagram account. I’m ginaperry_books there. Highlights is sharing 3 copies of their new cozy hidden picture coloring book. Go check it out. If only because I drew 25 million fish for one page! 😂 #illustration #coloringbook #nature

It gives me immense joy when I discover an artist I admire has a Bluesky account I can follow. I’ve stopped following people on IG (won't see their posts anyway), and yes, I bookmark their websites, but this is my happy place to stalk people and their art :)

Since I've always worked remotely, I spent 90% of my time in my pajamas, but now that the physical therapist comes every day and we have visitors all the time, I've had to do the horrible thing of dressing decently. EVERY DAY 😭

It's been a month since my dad had a stroke, and it's been incredibly challenging and exhausting, but the difference between now and a couple of weeks ago when we came home is huge!! He has improved so much!!

And next week is his birthday, so there's a lot to celebrate. #stroke

Ideally, I would have a great book that I could profit from as much as possible, ha ha ha, toys, television series, live action, whatever... #kidlitart
