Since we had such a successful debut at the Toy Fair, now I’m talking with my team about making Danny into a plush toy…the possibilities are seemingly endless! This is another idea that I’m setting aside though for the moment. For now, Rosie and I have other projects to handle.
Success! Danny did well again…awesome responses! Now it is time to get my assistant to help me contact and thank all these people. We are getting things in place to start the Newsletter to keep people properly updated on Danny the Dragon’s adventures through PR and Marketing-ville.
Wow – the American International Toy Fair is not to be under-estimated, this is a huge one! As much as I want to be there though, just don’t want to do it – NY is way too cold for me.
I have been working on so much lately on developing recipes for the Danny cookbook — just so busy and all kinds of things moving in the right direction , including the upcoming American International Toy Fair in New York – Danny the Dragon will be there!
I’m excited to say that the Tina Turbin website has officially launched! I have now started photography classes and am really learning how to take shots of food for the cookbook so I can at least oversee the shots from some point of knowledge. That’s my style! I always want to learn. We all should.
In my blog posting from 1/22/09 I mentioned the development of other projects. These are in full-blown action right now and very exciting indeed – focusing and really expanding on my interest in children’s health and wellness. I enlisted the help of Rafferty Pendery and his incredible design team at Studio 98 to build my Tina Turbin website, which is nearly completed. And thus far, I’ve been so impressed with their work that they’ll also be working with me on my other website: Gluten Free Help.
It used to be that homeschooling had a certain stigma to it. When people heard the word, they pictured a child isolated at home from children his age and indoctrinated into his parents’ extremist views. However, homeschooling has steadily grown in popularity over the years, and it’s widely acknowledged now that homeschooling provides many benefits.
If your child is having trouble in school, you may want to try homeschooling for a little bit to get him caught up for his grade level, and then see at that point what he wants to do. Every child is different. Some children love homeschool, and others can’t stand the idea of not being able to be with their friends and missing out on other beloved social interactions. I personally think it’s worth a try to see if it’s the right thing for you and your child.
Wonderful news! Danny was a big hit at the Exhibit. Hundreds of responses, rave reviews and acceptance from librarians, publishers, buyers, authors and others — this is such a huge boost to know that Danny the Dragon was such a hit!!
Good to go – the shipment arrived. The first exhibit is tomorrow in New York. Even though I can’t make it for the event, because I’m working on the development of other projects with my assistant Rosie Newman, we sure can’t wait to hear the response.
As you can see, the Danny the Dragon website has been beautifully re-done by Susan Gilbert of Joomla Jump. I’m so pleased with it!
