At least I knew my blue rose girls would show. But would anyone else?

YES! Yippee, a full house!

Now, my little speech about some of the background of the book. Just hoping I am coherent:

Then, reading an excerpt (some kids read silently along, so cute!):

Followed by a mad dash for cupcakes to see who won the coins:

While I signed books:

The sugee cookies were eaten (though it took a little encouraging):

And even the paper flowers found new places to bloom:

Hi Grace! Congratulations on making it to the top of this particular mountain. Your book launch party looks magnificent. My daughter Emily (a cupcake chef) and I are particularly impressed with the blue sparkly cupcakes. Wishing you all good things. . .

The launch was so much fun, a smashing success!! Congrats Grace!
Grace,
I had a great time on Saturday. It was so good to be with you and the other Blue Rose Girls--and to see all the people who turned out for your launch party. As Anna said--It was a smashing success!
What a wonderful book party! It looked lovely, you had a great turn-out, and all your BRG friends came - which in itself is amazing given everyone's busy schedules. I'm so happy for you!
Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for the online launch. It will be at my facebook page:
