The Numberlys App Teaser from Moonbot Studios on Vimeo.
Moonbot Studios is at it again
The people at Moonbot Studios are the creators of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore and the whole studio is the dream child of William Joyce - one of the most talented picture book creators of our time. THE NUMBERLYS APP is their latest creation. It almost makes me want to move to Shreveport, Louisiana to be a part of this creative team of people. Chills, I say. CHILLS!
Happy Rubber Ducky Day!
Did you know it's National Rubber Ducky Day! (Along with being Friday the 13th.) I think they balance each other out, don't you?

How many of you have made writing goals for 2012? I know I have. And it's not always easy. In fact, writing can be one of the hardest things you've ever done. But there is hope and there is help...

Coloring Page Tuesday - Lion and Mouse

I love the idea of of big ones and little ones getting along - peace among beasts. It's a good message for the New Year and all year long. (And obviously a favorite theme of mine.)
Note:
If you've clicked through to the large image to print and color, you've probably noticed the new wrapping I've added to my Coloring Page Tuesday images. They now have a header and copyright information included.
I've had to do this to protect my images from commercial theft, which was sadly rampant in 2011 (you can read more about it here).
However, I tried to do it in a way that still makes my images look fun and isn't too intrusive for my loyal followers - YOU! (Click Here to see the awesome gallery of YOUR CREATIONS.)
So many of you have tried to protect me by alerting me to improper use of my images and I am so appreciative. Thank you for your support! Therefore, I'd love your feedback on the new wrapping so please leave a comment on the blog post or email me directly at elizabeth at dulemba dot com. As always, if you have any questions about how to properly use my images (free for personal or non-commercial use) check out my copyright guidelines. Thank you!

Type is Everywhere
I'm a font geek, I admit it. One of my favorite e-newsletters I get is called MyFonts.com and I collect them in my favorites folder like candy.
I was taught to love type in college as I studied under the highly respected, international award-winning, Ron Arnholm, and I've never stopped.
Don't think fonts are a big part of your life? Have a look...
