Meet Tina Nichols Coury

My girlfriend Susan is amazingly artistic and talented in everything she does. (It must run in your family, Susan.) Susan sent an email the other day with a link to her cousin, Tina Nichols Coury's blog. Tina is a children's author and artist. I LOVED it! So... I've added it, along with Susan's new family blog, to my Awesome Blogs list. Take a look sometime. I think you'll enjoy it too!!

This is the item Susan sent that intrigued me to take a look further. Isn't this FUN? (As excerpted from Tina's blog site)

"As I said before, I consider the SCBWI National costume ball an art performance piece. Every year, around April, they announce the theme. This year it took me approximately two seconds to know what to do for the Silvery Moon Ball, I would become the Silvery Moon Queen. I would be decorated with famous children's book paintings with the name "Moon" in the title and of course I would paint them in silver. These are the books I chose to wear:

Good Night Moon, Kitten's First Full Moon, The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon, Walk Two Moons and the Golden Kite honor winner for non-fiction, Team Moon. "
