I was at a baby shower for my daughter-in-law on the weekend and she received a signed copy of Tina’s new book. I was so excited to be able to read it! It is a sweet book with many different people it in with various skills and talents. I’ve known Tina for many years and have seen some of her artistic creations and had hoped to see her new creation. The drawings in this book are awesome – June is quite a delight to read, Congratulations Tina!!
