Bill Snail's debut in book form!


We have had another land-mark day today. Yay!  - Ten prototype copies of Robyn’s “Funny Little Book on Friendship” were delivered this morning. Bill Snail has now been immortalised in print in a book! It's cute, touching and funny, with Robyn's own unique double-meaning witticisms - cartoons and rhyming verse - on each page. Bill Snail at his best. I just love it.
They look good, we are delighted with them, the colours have more or less come back as we hoped and the layout has worked. It is really exciting to see the book, large as life, a reality at last.
I am very excited that we can now add them to our website and catalogue.
We need, once again to get as much feed-back as possible from anyone and everyone, to decide whether or not it is worth publishing the book in bulk. We plan to publish them in a smaller version, but these were good for Trade Shows and to gauge the market.
I wish we had just taken the plunge and ordered  in bulk as I think they are such a cool present for any friend that it would be worth it, but my partner has a more cautious (sensible) business head! And she wouldn’t let me!

PostPals





If you have not heard about Post Pals, check them out.  Post Pals is a fantastic organisation.   It is run by several wonderful young women who all have serious illnesses themselves - plus crucially, an army of volunteers.  
 
The girls who founded Post Pals know first hand what a difference it can make to receive caring thoughts and attention from others when you are very ill.    Post Pals is an organisation which makes it possible for anyone to send cards and presents  to very sick children who need to know that people care.  The website speaks for itself, do click on the Post Pals logo above to go to their site and read about them.

We have been out having fun shopping for our two little post pals this week!
