What a fabulous time at the Belconnen Arts Centre in Canberra where I was able to exhibit all the paintings that formed the pages of the book, 'A Little Bird Told Me'!<br />
Opening night was a special occasion with lots of people in attendance including a visit from the lovely artist, Lindy Longhurst.<br />
It was wonderful to see all the paintings on show and there were many positive comments from those who came to see them. 'Beautiful' was a description that came up many times. 'Gorgeous colours and designs' and 'I find this area of story and painting magic and pretty to soul and eye' were just two of the comments. I felt very privileged throughout the three week event which also included a holiday workshop.<br />
I was also honoured to sign lots of copies of the book. A special thank you to the staff and volunteers at the Belconnen Arts Centre and to all those who made the event such a success!Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-91783936405729528562014-05-03T21:03:00.000-07:002014-05-03T21:20:11.766-07:00Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-47157801912838917792013-09-03T21:22:00.000-07:002013-09-03T21:22:23.405-07:00In my letterboxI had a wonderful surprise when I opened my letterbox yesterday! A lot of lovely letters from some of the children at Namadji School (one of the schools I visited during Book Week). <br />
Thank you to all the children who sent me the letters and drawings - <span style="color: magenta;">I really love them! <span style="color: black;">And a big thank you to your teacher, too.</span></span><br />

The children made my visits such a pleasure; asking interesting and sometimes very insightful questions. A great big<b> thank you</b> to the staff of the schools and especially the librarians who were so supportive and helpful!<br />

There were so many birds at our place but too far away to enjoy them properly, so clever Poppy set up this bird feeder. The parrots that come to get a little bite to eat include rosellas of all kinds, king parrots, lorikeets<br />
and occasionally a wattle bird or two. They are still rather timid but I hope one day to post a photo of this tree full of some of the colourful birds that come to visit.

Hi everyone,<br />
There's nothing like a good quote! How true the following:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"Life is merely the canvas for which you as the artist are able to create whatever you can imagine."</span></span><br />

It is a great idea to encourage reading at home. Children just love to have stories read to them and the books that are selected are quality books. I'm not sure how many states offer this but it's a great list to help you choose good books . <br />

Lots of things going on with the focus squarely on childrens literature with lots of fun things to do. I especially enjoyed Emily Rodda, John Marsden and Cartoon Dave. It's easy to see why they are so popular. There were lots of eager children ready to hear a story and buy a book or two - so a great day for me too! <br />

A lot has happened!Poppybooks has just completed another colouring competition. You kids are so clever!<br />
I am always impressed with the quality of the entries and also where they come from. Every state in Australia is always well represented.<br />
<br />
I would also like to send an extra special 'thankyou' to the children in the prep/1 class at St Mary's Primary School in Donald in Victoria :) It is always a pleasure to receive the many entries from them.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have fun with the new Christmas competition. As a special treat Kieron will choose one or two of his favourites and interpret them into works of art 'a la Kieron'. They will become wonderful treasures for those who win them.<br />

I must admit I <span style="font-style: italic;">love</span> chocolate. Do you?<br /><br />It seems my holidays are often spent with grandchildren and these holidays have been no exception. I was able to take 4 of my grandchildren to the circus on Saturday. It has been years since I have been to the circus and we all had a great time. The kids all said it was awesome and there was even one moment when we thought an acrobat was going to fall from a wheel at the top of the tent. Everyone gasped and held their breath - very scary! But he regained his balance and was OK.<br /><br />It has also been a very long time since I've been to the Sydney Easter Show but maybe this year I will get there.

One of the miniature horses has even been trying to climb into her caravan to look for her.<br />If you would like to see a little bit more about Circus Olympia you can go to <a href="http://www.circusolympia.com.au">www.circusolympia.com.au</a>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-17475044824917716802011-02-21T13:24:00.000-08:002011-02-21T13:29:05.817-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0y6HnzBI2ujql08VWfVedF74MozDsUa3PkD9vqgyuf9Kp6MxrYja2zUTXyZwcJjblNn_PjILlHqY-4poEYf_dzCLuSBTJUx2iDGBJlXWc7wxHTRHn3gCSD8oIWbW2Sjr-M_DZW8DNTDSm/s1600/167909_500938083489_720658489_5862817_4211079_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0y6HnzBI2ujql08VWfVedF74MozDsUa3PkD9vqgyuf9Kp6MxrYja2zUTXyZwcJjblNn_PjILlHqY-4poEYf_dzCLuSBTJUx2iDGBJlXWc7wxHTRHn3gCSD8oIWbW2Sjr-M_DZW8DNTDSm/s320/167909_500938083489_720658489_5862817_4211079_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576257622961377250" border="0" /></a>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-81874603183113622822011-01-07T12:24:00.000-08:002011-01-07T12:27:46.827-08:00Recording Poppy books<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszCCTsHs03O7v6bySoznConb-Ujy-x4AyDPVHe8dxJnxRUJVhWXG2hgyetEDKONYKV9uHZguuue3Jhg3llCDcoc_h6avwafEhWXaKkakipeGOn0XHz8O-7TgrIcHGX9KgeXX-ZvPr6Urw/s1600/PC260332.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszCCTsHs03O7v6bySoznConb-Ujy-x4AyDPVHe8dxJnxRUJVhWXG2hgyetEDKONYKV9uHZguuue3Jhg3llCDcoc_h6avwafEhWXaKkakipeGOn0XHz8O-7TgrIcHGX9KgeXX-ZvPr6Urw/s320/PC260332.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559543210977724018" border="0" /></a>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-1606231787429785512011-01-07T12:06:00.000-08:002011-01-07T12:24:28.256-08:00Happy New Year<span style="font-size:100%;">I wonder if your holidays have been as busy as mine?<br />The last of my family leaves today and the big cleanup begins - lots of washing and cleaning little hand prints off windows. But what a fun-filled time we have had!<br />In amongst all the eating and playing Poppy books were never far from my mind and I managed to persuade some family members to start some recordings for downloadable Poppy books so that you will be able to purchase the books straight from the website for your iphones etc.<br />I am very excited...!<br /></span>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-28141118358866383372010-12-15T12:49:00.000-08:002010-12-15T12:50:48.108-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrnJOtg2I5aKrbm8qtQlHtJeupxnumCaGN7YcazwQllYD7a6Icz9STSa5XqWPk5JuWyb3J0W7I82R4eyjczAGfWOFUTH2ORfLawTHtkHt2yyViQ6rkmXkjjjaxGC2FohuzS13Myv8xJNO/s1600/scan0004.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrnJOtg2I5aKrbm8qtQlHtJeupxnumCaGN7YcazwQllYD7a6Icz9STSa5XqWPk5JuWyb3J0W7I82R4eyjczAGfWOFUTH2ORfLawTHtkHt2yyViQ6rkmXkjjjaxGC2FohuzS13Myv8xJNO/s320/scan0004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551014322750653602" border="0" /></a>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-10475183818976676952010-12-15T12:47:00.000-08:002010-12-15T12:49:25.347-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-haFxe-8NQ0b0qeo1tpbbq3nYSZR_xEQxIBC4Y13iiKNCbB0KqhhoQrxh6fGsBpuUfeOfmGVEyh14h789iE2dbPwKz2NGTb_lPF-ABXiqZGryao24s2gYExIBhA8dTCa153ra4whdW-sx/s1600/scan0005.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-haFxe-8NQ0b0qeo1tpbbq3nYSZR_xEQxIBC4Y13iiKNCbB0KqhhoQrxh6fGsBpuUfeOfmGVEyh14h789iE2dbPwKz2NGTb_lPF-ABXiqZGryao24s2gYExIBhA8dTCa153ra4whdW-sx/s320/scan0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551013945987301570" border="0" /></a>Mimi Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05812780326371462072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583705495717445318.post-11393213015795678122010-12-15T12:30:00.001-08:002010-12-15T13:50:47.512-08:00Happy Holidays KidsHolidays are finally here and my family have already started to arrive.
