The Twin Cities is full of treasures and talent!  Edina Art Center is one of those places you can foster your talent or fake it till you make it with all of their wonderful classes and camps for kids of all ages! The Clark Gift shop and gallery is filled with beautiful works of art from local artists.  My older daughter took the pottery class to make fairy garden items last year and it was amazing.  As of today, Edina Art Center is selling A to Z Activities, Crafts, and Recipes and Twin Cities Free & Frugal Family Fun! Please check it out!

Nationally recognized local illustrator and artist David Geister has kindly reviewed Free & Frugal Family Fun. David's work includes T is for Twin Cities: A Minneapolis/St. Paul Alphabet and B is for Battle Cry: A Civil War Alphabet and many more beautiful books.  Thank you so much David!

While reading Lake Wobegon Days many years ago, I never dreamed of the day my books would be sold (much less written!) at Garrison Keillor's St. Paul bookstore Common Good Books. Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce that you can pick up copies of my books at this wonderful neighborhood bookstore on the corner of Snelling and Grand.

It's the happening hot stop and a HUGE bookstore you all know and love right on Hennepin Avenue and it's carrying Free & Frugal Family Fun!  If you're in the Uptown area...please pick up your copy at Magers & Quinn Booksellers . Be sure to check out their upcoming events .
