@lilmahri Can you tell me if the issue with disappearing blockbux cars after getting a new house will be resolved? My daughter had two blockbux cars that she spent money on that are now gone. It said they were sent to the inventory but they aren’t there. Happening to others too!

I’ve been very quite on here recently due to maternity leave but I made this for @slhattersley #bookmarkproject last year. It arrived late so is available for bidding today from 6pm BST. You can find it here

Thanks for all the suggestions for the next round, we’ve narrowed it down to 4 choices to fit the poll. For animals in situations an example would be a bat in a boat etc. Let us know which you’d prefer by voting! The poll will run for a week. Thanks all #AnimalAlphabets

Hellooooo, so I am finding that most cover artists for MG books aren't keen to work on a self-published book (totally understandable) but are there any peeps out there that you can recommend who are freelance and up for doing an MG cover for a self-published book?
TYSM!

@JonsCrazyTweets True… it doesn’t bother me, I’ve become quite good at multi-tasking :D

[Deborah Partington @DebIllustration]

@JonsCrazyTweets lol I am getting better at not looking but sometimes the urge is too great 😂

[Deborah Partington @DebIllustration]

@JonsCrazyTweets 😂🤣 I really should do that (this is watching movies at home… I always turn it off in the cinema!)
