We've been trying to find a name for our house and "Creative Tardis" makes me happy ;) Thanks for the kind words; it's been fun!

What a beautiful spread! You and Kyle are both so generous and supportive. I love you both!

Glad this went well. I hope that I get to meet both lovely authors someday.

Big hugs from chilly Chicago.

That was, really, a wonderful afternoon. It is such a luxury to bask in the company of people dripping in talent, while listening to music and words and eating amazing food. Thank you so much for inviting me. Here's to a movie-intervention night in the coming weeks.
