CANSCAIP and Charity Book Fair

Tomorrow!


It's the yesouiCANSCAIP Imagine A Story Conference! Lots of great workshops and seminars, presented by local authors and illustrators, including Jill Murray, Yeyo, Monique Polak and Marsha Skrypuch.

In other news, I spent the last little while organizing a book fair at work, which we held last week.

Here's the announcement:


Here's the layout:


Here's me putting Diana Gabaldon's book front and centre:


And here's me!:


Raised close to 900$ for a children's library in Tanzania!

So... Are you rooting for Barcelona or Manchester United?

Wah! That's so cool! Great job on the book fair - I remember the first one I ever went to. It was like releasing a kid into a candy store. [g]

Well, as fond as I am of football, I don't watch any of it -- but since my professor will be inevitably be rooting for Barcelona, I have a feeling I'll be siding with Manchester U just to be contrary. [g] How about you?

Yea... I really really didn't need to pick up any more books [g]

I used to be a Man U fan back when all the bands I listened to loved them. But, er, might root for Barcelona now on the odd chance that Rosa might have...

LOL. Could this be proof that life imitates art? [vbg]

I love looking at all those books! And you did a great job raising money.

I tagged you on my blog, by the way.

Yay for book fairs!

And I'm rooting for Barcelona. Man U is not my favourite team! :(
Look at all those books! How wonderful to raise so much $ for Tanzania.
