    Rodrigo! I'm so happy to hear that you got and enjoyed the book. I'm super-worried, though, about the fact that it just showed up yesterday. Yikes! I mailed those babies out priority, two weeks ago today. I'll be posting some of the colored pictures in a bit, so feel free to send along some of your daughters if you'd like. Thanks!

    You got it! Hey, do you mind letting me know when you get yours? I'm hoping they all show up on Monday, but the Post Office is CRAZY BUSY with Christmas stuff.

    THEY WERE HERE - NOW THEY'RE GONE!

    ...Gone to YOUR house, that is!

    The Monster Coloring Books came back from the printer yesterday, and I spent the night signing and doodling in them, and stuffing them in cozy little envelopes. 

    I spent most of today at the Post Office, sending out all of your packages. I was trying to organize the rest of my week while I waited in line, but got so nervous, that I just ended up checking and re-checking and double-re-checking everyone's packages to make sure I got everything right. 

    My little boy is already putting his Monster Coloring Book to use, and I can't wait for you to start scribbling in yours! Thanks again for making this book so much fun :) Expect your books to arrive early next week.

    TEMPORARY TATTOOS

    THE GOOD NEWS: Everyone who ordered a book is getting temporary dragon tattoos! How awesome do they look? They look this awesome:

    I got a message from the tattoo printer today, saying that they've just received a large Christmas order, and if we still want our tattoos by next week, they'll have to more than double the cost of our original order to make it worth their while, plus add a heavy shipping cost. It would end up costing more than the coloring books!

    Fortunately, I was able to re-order a shipment of dragon tattoos I already had ready to go, and everyone will be getting some with their orders. Phew!

        Did anyone else get one? Can you take a picture? I didn't get one with my shipment, not that it's a big deal, I don't need one, but I'd like to see someone with one on :) Thanks!

    BOOKS ORDERED

    Thanks for sending your names and addresses---now I have places and people to send the Monster Coloring Books to!

    Just a quick note: I ordered the coloring books and temporary tattoos. If all goes according to plan, I should have printed books at my house next weekend, and will send them out as soon as I get them!

    I hope you're all having a happy holiday season :)
