Holiday Boutique Benefit in Mesa
I was one of the 36+ crafters and vendors to support this event held once a year. All proceeds from the raffles went to the Sunshine Acres Children's Home in Mesa, AZ. My table displayed books, Venice journals, magnets, cards, bands, and T-shirts that I was happy to create for this purposeā¦.being there felt incredible for the sake of making this contribution for great cause. Also it was fun connecting with other creative people and shoppers. I was especially excited to have a table next to couple of other authors: Rita Goldner, whose childrenās book I had to get: āOrangutan ā A day in the Rainforest Canopyā. It is so colorful and the beautiful illustrations impressed me (Rita did them all); I intended to give it away, but I still have it. The other author, Laura Orsini, who also does so much more, including teaching other authors how to publish and market books, a true expert in her field, brought several of her books. I was excited to see her latest one: āStan Finds Himself on the Other Side of the Worldā . It looks very interesting and I canāt wait to find some time and read it.
