Moonbeams and Fairy Kisses is Published!!

Drumroll.....after years in the making, our book is finally published!!! Whoo hoo!

Moonbeams and Fairy Kisses is a book of poetry for girls that my talented writer hubby, Jesse, started writing before our first daughter was born. The first poem's inspiration was for our niece, Maegan. Then we had our little girls, and the poems kept coming. Jesse really has  captured the innocence, imagination and wonder of being a child in his poems.

Jesse would always ask- "WHEN are you ever going to illustrate my poems so we can publish our book?" Well, it took me a few years, but I DID it! First I had to find my style which took some time, and then the rest came naturally.

Most of the artwork I already sell as prints in my Etsy shop are in this book. I've basically been selling them as I slowly grew the collection of art for this project.

So finally, with the help of my super-talented mom,Gina, who is amazing with type and layout we got this book together and self published it! Yeah!!!

Now it's going to be available for purchase in my Etsy shop. (And everywhere else too if I have my way! : )))

  2. I'm looking for a good printer for my children's book, particularly one that offers a nice matte cover. Can you advise where you got yours printed? The quality of your book seems nice! But if you don't want to disclose that info, I understand :)

  3. Hi Sommer,
    No I don't mind. We used Color House Graphics - they are great!
