The Book of Indi

When my second grandson turned one recently, I decided to make him a book about his arrival here on Earth and how much he is loved. There are no toys, no things that he needs or wants really (like most kids in our little bubble). I’m sure he didn’t care a bit about the book, nor did he care much about his birthday except for the Smash Cake. But one day I’m hoping the little Book of Indi will mean something special to him. In the meantime here it is…

Teaching a class online!

Something new! I’m teaching a class on Carla Sonheim Presents! New experience for me. And lots of messy fun. You can take a look or sign up at https://www.carlasonheim.com/online-classes/. Carla offers LOTS of great classes for creatives at great prices and they never expire. Small investment in one’s sanity and happiness. I’ve taken many.

Good way to start the NEW YEAR! Us winners of the 2025 SCBW Portfolio Showcase in New York City this January. Not sure about the other three, but I was in a little shock. That’s me on the far left with the GOLD award. A very cool experience. And to think i went just to have a week in New York City. Love it there.

Got another Grandboy

Indi arrived October 1, 2024 and he is another perfect creation. Not to brag. I’m a lucky duck.

Got a Grand BOY

Wylder Hayes Hamilton born September 5, 2021. Perfection. That’s all I can say about him. And owner of too many stuffies made by his grandmother. Oh well, he can open a shop when he’s a little older.

The Heroine of the Day, his mother (my first born child and only daughter) Joanna Andreoni! Credit due to her husband Patrick B. Hamilton! So happy!
