The Most Peep-tastic Party, Evah!!!

Last week one of my favorite indie book/toy/craft stores, Little Junebugs celebrated their one year anniversary . . . and we were there! (I mean, really, you'd think that Peepy would miss a Peep party??)

Who are those attractive witty people? Why it's Little Junebugs owners, Courtney Collins and Brian Flanagan . . .

Of course, with the party it being PEEP-themed, Peepy was in her element.

Dan Santat and I signed copies of BOBBY THE BRAVE (SOMETIMES) and other books we created!

And lookit! Why, it's author/illustrator Ethan Long . . .

Now then, what exactly is Little Junebugs, you ask, or I ask, or someone over there asks. Why, it's may things, like a whole lot of children's books . . .

And toys . . .

And cool stuff and crafty stuff . . .

And for the anniversary party, there were professional photos of all the party Peeps!

And everyone made Peep picture frames!

Of course, Dan and Ethan showed off their mad illustrator-ly skills . . .

Speaking of skills, you gotta see this!!! The last time I saw Mark Crilley, he drew a picture for my favorite doctor. This time, he drew this amazingly realistic picture -- and it's gone viral!!! Is there a doctor in the house?





Oops, let's return from the digression and head back to the party. All the fun made Peepy thirsty. So the kind handsome bartender created a drink just for her. Behold, the (non-alcoholic) Peep-tini!!!

Now fabulosity like this doesn't just happen. It takes a lot of work, as you can see HERE.

HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY, LITTLE JUNEBUGS!!!!
