I have decided that I am going to go check out the ALA in DC. Why not right? I am here and I should take advantage of it. I am a bit nervous. I hate venturing out solo. I am hoping to meet some of the great folks from the blueboards! Even if it is to just pop by the booth they are signing at. I thought about dragging my son with me but I think by days end he will be bored out of his mind. At 14 I think he would better spend his time by the pool.
I am excited to see the hustle and bustle and I am in hopes that it will be a huge motivator!
I will post about it all next week!
Blogging for a Cure
Robert's Snow is an online auction that benefits Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Over 200 children's book illustrators have created art on individual snowflake-shaped wooden templates to be auctioned off November 19th thru December 07th.
Please visit Robert's Snow and learn about Grace Lin and her inspiring story.
Blogging for a Cure is an effort to bring attention to Robert's Snow through daily blogging. You don't want to miss out! A portion of the illustrators are being featured daily. Get an inside peek at the illustrators and some of the stories behind the snowflakes.
You can find links to the posts themselves, and any last-minute updates, each morning at 7-Imp. Jules and Eisha have also set up a special page at 7-Imp containing a comprehensive list of links to the profiles posted so far. Also not to be missed is Kris Bordessa's post summarizing snowflake-related contests to date over at Paradise Found.
Note to Blog Readers about Blogging for a Cure:
When Jules of 7-Imp put out her call in September for bloggers to interview/feature artists who had created snowflakes for Robert’s Snow 2007 at their blogs, a number of artists had not yet sent in their snowflakes to Dana-Farber. As time was of the essence to get Blogging for a Cure underway, we worked with the list of artists whose snowflakes were already in possession of Dana-Farber. Therefore, not all the participating artists will be featured. This in no way diminishes our appreciation for their contributions to this worthy cause. We hope everyone will understand that once the list of artists was emailed to bloggers and it was determined which bloggers would feature which artists at their blogs, a schedule was organized and sent out so we could get to work on Blogging for a Cure ASAP. Our aim is to raise people’s awareness about Robert’s Snow and to promote the three auctions. We hope our efforts will help to make Robert’s Snow 2007 a resounding success.
