Thanks to TAS and Ms. Youssif the librarian for inviting me, the PTA for selling my books, and of course the amazing kids for showing me their creativity!

The most!! 😍

I think everyone except my dog is ready for winter to be over 😅

I can’t believe Costco changed their muffins without giving me any notice. I never even got to say goodbye 😢

Thank you so much! 🥹

I’ll be sharing more in the months to come, but I hope you like this little sneak peak into Hester’s world!

Text reads "Julie and Knack bought a riso, so now we need help buying some more ink drums" with a drawing of both artists holding up the risograph.

@whittledraws.bsky.social and I bought a #risograph machine as a kind of spur of the moment thing! Now we just have to get the different ink drums to really get it running, which is where you come in! Check out our #kickstarter in order to get some magical fundraising prints! Link below.

Thanks Ethan!! 🥰
