Jelly Bean Forest Movie-

 Written by myself Nancy Costa and illustration by Tom Kastet a teen in Norway with unbeatable artistic talent. I couldn't have done it without him. Can you imagine a Movie titled The Jelly Bean Forest or yet a New York Play for Children? I can. See the book come alive with all of its characters, colorful trees and Jelly beans. Who is the man standing at the fence?  There is also a Jelly Bean Jerk song and dance within the book as well as a coloring book within. The book can be purchased off etsy. I have about 18 left.

The Bear, not included :)

  Ladies and Gentle men, please take some time when you have some time, not while driving or sleeping, eating or praying, planting a garden or swimming, playing basketball or checkers, doing your hair or nails, but other than that, please take some time to look at my etsy store.
   doozybags.etsy.com     You see I am working on my very cluttered house. Having taken all of the doors off the kitchen cabinets, painted the ceiling and walls, I have a bed in the kitchen as well as all of my sewing supplies except materials. The bed? Oh it's just for a little guy, three years old when he comes to visit in October. I also have one bookcase going out and a smaller one going in but still both in my small kitchen.
    Presently there are two boys living here, one who will be moving soon and I will paint that room, fill the holes from pictures and posters which he placed where he felt a need to. That room will become the room for visitors, such as my children and their little families. I posted many books and records on CL. No one wants them because to them , their not worth a million, so I will donate them. Big books, fat books, and heavy books, all to be carried to the car, then carried to the library which has a very long walk way. So much to do and I do take my time to do it as I can or am able.
   Then a call comes. I'll be stopping by soon. NOOOOOO. I don't want company for another month. The kitchen floor needs, well needs to be replaced, cabinet doors still have to be sanded, primed and painted, by me. The brick wall in back of the stove needs to be primed and painted. That I did years ago when brick was the thing to do. Oh well.  Big sigh. So back to ladies and gentle men, and yes, duh-I know the word is gentlemen. Here's the link again so you buy, I cry, then I try, to make new, more, create again. It's what I've been missing. My material is waiting and as you know, it's better to sell now and create more later. Hey ! I have super hero's material. Check out Etsy and stay away from those other shops :)

Repair This, WIth Ron Myrnes

        Okay, so it's early and Ron isn't here yet, but he isn't supposed to be until ten. Today Ron is coming to do small plumbing repairs, but something I couldn't do. This guy surprises me every time. I know he doesn't usually do the following but he did to help me out.

       He put my story photos into files for the printer. One day chatting a little about word and pdf's my concern was making corrections once in a pdf file, so Ron offered to do this for me, said he knew how and it worked. With a lot  patience and time I have the proof of the Jelly Bean Forest, story book.  It will be ready for sale in tow to three weeks. Without Ron's knowledge and help, this project would not have made it by Easter 2013.
     With e mails back and forth between mainly Ron and the printer, success and ready to sell. Thank You Ron. I look forward to a new awning and repairing the front step and more as Spring gets closer.


     This book will be republished in it's original art works size for Christmas. Red and green jelly bean and a book on how they grow:)
