Kid Lit Blog Hop #37

Welcome back to the Kid Lit Blog Hop #37

Today, I don't have any reviews, just a fun slide show of Supanova 2 day Conference Melbourne.

 

Once upon a time, there was an elf named

 

Caramel ( aka Julie)

 

 

 

She journeyed long and far to the Melbourne show grounds,

To showcase some of her books.

 

 

 



Not without her trusty side kick Blake ( aka Jess)

 

 

 

Who certainly stole the show

 

 

Along the way, they found a strange blue box

 

 

A wookie

 

 

An Elf King

 

 

A very big tank

 

A steampunk lady

 

The Melbourne Quidditch Society

And a few Transformers, just hanging around



 

On the second day we were joined by one very cute Catbug

 

 

 

And Beth ( aka Jess)

 

Who once again stole the show...

 

A fun time was had by all.

 

And the best part, I got to meet one of my Melbourne fans.

She was awesome, and I got to sign her tablet cover.

I hope you enjoyed my slide show, and happy hopping folks.

 



 

 

 

The Kid Lit Blog Hop hostesses are super-excited to unveil our new Kid Lit Blog Hop button. Tada!!!

The Kid Lit Blog Hop began roughly 1 1/2 years ago and the original design for the button was drawn by my then 9 year old daughter, who complained that she could have drawn something much better if I hadn't insisted on stick figures. While the old logo is certainly recognizable, we felt it was time to breathe new life into the Hop. Please feel free to grab the code for the button (below) and pop it up into your sidebar or elsewhere on your site. Big thank you to designbox1, who we found through Fiverr, for working closely with us in creating our beautiful new button.
