bloopers

A few days ago, I was asked by my publisher to make a promotional video about my book, so I got all gussied up with my red lipstick again yesterday and put something on film.  I thought it would be fun to share some of my “bloopers” with you.  I warn you, there is a lot of hair-tossing.

I love the thumbnail for this video. You can totally see my “Doh!” expression.  I hope you have a good giggle.

I’ve been painting a beast of a china cabinet today for the book and I love how it’s turning out.  I’ll show you some sneak peeks over the next couple of days.
