A picture of the cover of the book, "Dear Writer" by Maggie Smith. https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/rPCoGQ_-yAWLvZhfhQ6d9w New York Times bestselling author and poet Maggie Smith distills creativity and the craft of writing with a practical guide perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s "Big Magic" and Anne Lamott’s "Bird by Bird". -- Drawing from her twenty years of teaching experience and her bestselling Substack newsletter, For Dear Life, Maggie Smith breaks down creativity into ten essential elements: attention, wonder, vision, play, surprise, vulnerability, restlessness, tenacity, connection, and hope. Each element is explored through short, inspiring, and craft-focused essays, followed by generative writing prompts. "Dear Writer" provides tools that artists of all experience levels can apply to their own creative practices and carry with them into all genres and all areas of life.
A picture of the cover of the book, "The Cartoonists Club" by Raina Telgemeier & Scott McCloud. https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/KD-jsArtsHIpSLUC-CuLqg #1 New York Times bestselling cartoonists Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud team up for a one-of-a-kind friendship story about creativity and self-expression that blends how-to and comics magic. Welcome to the club! Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!
New Release Tuesday Continued! #Booksky 💙📚 #BlueHouseBooks #Kenosha
A photo of the window of a bookstore. There’s multiple flag banners in blue shades running across. Plus a couple book shelves and books. Concrete surrounding the window.
Only partially done, but the flag banners turned out cute. Next step will be to add a bunch of spring things.

A screenshot of a post by Blue House Books. It shows a large triangle with an exclamation point inside. Followed by it saying, “We support the economic blackout on Friday, February 28th in protest of corporate greed and the dismantling of DEI initiatives amount many large corporations. While we hope you will still support local businesses, we understand if you decide to pause all your spending on February 28th. For anyone who still wants to support local businesses, we will be open and encourage you to use CASH ONLY during the blackout.”
So proud of my work! The owner of BHB posted this in support of the economic blackout tomorrow. This is what I’m talking about 👏📚💙

Now that I gave my boss her painting, I can share it! She’s the owner of Blue House Books (an indie local bookstore) and I painted the storefront for her. It’s not perfect, but I did my best ☺️
