Feel like a kid again, but...😛

IT'S NATIONAL CRAYON DAY!

It's a perfect day to feel like a kid again, but without the hassle of limited personal autonomy, what a treat!

Great news, we just finished writing our next forthcoming activity book and it's due in-stock at the end of the April! You'll have to tide yourself over with our existing selection for a few more weeks, though.

P.S. A million thanks for all the (mostly) kind emails about the passing of our beloved cat last week! We miss him terribly and your messages were very appreciated! I'm sorry we haven't been able to individually reply to everyone, but in our defense, literally HUNDREDS, plural, of readers like you dropped us a line. Talk about a sense of overwhelm! We are wildly behind on work now from taking some time off to mourn and trying to catch up. We are back at our desks working on new art and you all can't imagine how much we value and appreciate the awesome people who read our emails and reach out to us! Thank you for reading, sending messages, and generally being the best customers ever!
