In June a great group of people joined us for storytelling at the Lovett Memorial Library in Pampa, Texas! Look at all the stars! That would be all of us plus the ones hanging from the ceiling!

Hey, hey, hey! I hope school is going great for everyone! I had a great summer. I have to say I’m still chillin’ by the pool every chance I get! That’s one good thing about all this Texas HEAT.

I had a fine summer with reading, traveling, and did I mention, chillin’ by the pool?

Check out our photos from the Lovett Memorial Library in Pampa. Those folks are wonderful. And I got some good ideas from the kids. I’ll be passing those on in our performances.

In August we did 2 Storytelling and Puppetry workshops for about 50 preschool teachers at Isaacs Early Education School in Plano, TX and Skillman Development Center in Dallas, TX. Those teachers were GOOD.

And by the way, check out my newest video  . . . it’s me, chillin’ by the pool with my friend, Anna.

I thought you might like to have a pattern to make your own Spike puppet. I’ve included it right here! Have fun!

Save and print these Spike coloring pages so that you can make your own Spike puppets. It works best on heavier paper like cardstock. Click on the links below.

Hey I’m a Movie Star!

Hey, Hey, Hey,

I spent HOURS in front of a camera on Tuesday, March 4th. We –Janny Girl and me – that would be Ms. Jiaan or maybe even Ms. Powers, to you- were videoconferencing at Region 11 in Fort Worth, Texas. So now we know a whole bunch more kids in the area. Well, not like we know their names or even where they live! But they listened to our stories and so after all that time I feel like I know them. They were good to listen to us. They loved my story about my Grundred Grandad! So I think of them as my new friends!

Hope all you kids are going to the Texas Storytelling Festival this Saturday, March 8th! You

after all that time I feel like I know them. They were good to listen to us. They loved my story about my Grundred Grandad! So I think of them as my new friends!

Hope all you kids are going to the Texas Storytelling Festival this Saturday, March 8th! You can hear great stories and do a workshop and meet some famous storytellers ALL for FREE!
