@authorKatGray I watched this out loud and my husband asked if that was a playback of something I recorded. I guess all writers deal with the same problems... Lmao!

Trying out something new with one of my table display items. Not sure I like how it’s turned out, but I love arts and crafts time! 🎄 🐘🎄 #author #authorsofinstagram #illustrator #craft #diy #photoframediy #upcycling #whiteelephantsurprise #modpodge

Here are some of the white elephant ornaments I made. I think they are the perfect little companion Christmas gift to go along with the book.

Spotlight on this amazing lady that was able to deftly spot every single pillow pattern in my White Elephant Surprise book. She found even the most hidden fabric image! Awesome job!!! #whiteelephantsurprise #whiteelephant #hiddenobjects #hiddenobjectsbook #hiddenobjectsrockstar
