Here's Your Coloring Page Tuesday Alert for April 9, 2013! Click here to view this email in a browser. If you received this from a friend, you can click here to subscribe. If you ever have trouble accessing my coloring pages or giveaways, they will also be at MY BLOG at http://dulemba.blogspot.com.
*COLORING PAGE TUESDAYS is almost 5-years-old!!!* Can you believe it? May 11th will mark the fifth anniversary of my very first coloring page. (I didn't even know that's what I was creating back then.) Some of your children have actually grown up with my coloring pages, and that means so much to me! Want to help celebrate? I'm going to do birthday images from now through May 11th and I'd LOVE for you to do something fun with them and post them to MY GALLERY (you'll need to post them to your blog first so you have a URL to share). Artwork from kids and their adults is welcome! Or just leave comments on my blog. CLICK HERE for even more birthday images to get you started. If you've been a fan of Coloring Page Tuesdays - now's the time to share. What have my Coloring Pages meant to YOU? How do you use them? Do you have a favorite? I can't wait to hear from you and see what you create! And if you'd like to put the Coloring Page Tuesday widget on your blog - just click the image and go get the code for your sidebar!

WEEKLY GIVEAWAY -
YOU CAN DO IT by Betsy Lewin and LOOK! by Ted Lewin!

Sidewalk Chalk Art!
     If you didn't see this on my blog, I encourage you to go check it out!
     Saturday I helped the city of Decatur, Georgia (USA) with their new Sidewalk Saturday's program. Along with giant puppets, musicians, and drummers scattered around town, there was me - with a box full of pastels.
     What began as a fine-art demonstration (or as fine-art as I get at any rate), quickly turned into controlled chaos as kids joined in and exercised their artistis skills. Gads, we had a blast!
     It's a great idea for your own town or neighborhood too. I purchased cheap pastels - about $8 per box (I bought three for three hours and will probably buy five for my next Sidewalk Saturday gig on the 20th). Just be sure to wear grubbies - we got filthy!

Teaching at Hollins University!
     In case this banner hasn't caught your attention yet... I'll be helping to teach in the Children's Book Illustration Certificate program at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia this summer. Think of it as creative camp for grown-ups with a serious professional development focus. I hope you can join us! (Click the banner for more information.)

Card Makers and Colorers!

     Each week I feature a card or coloring page created by one of YOU using one of my images and uploaded to my gallery.
     To kick off the birthday celebration images, I'm sharing Vicky's creation. She used my Birthday Cake Bear image to create this adorable and festive bookmark.
     Click the image to visit my gallery, click her thumbnail and visit Vicky's blog to see her creations and leave her a comment.

Love Trolls

I've opened an Etsy store to sell my little Love Trolls. Some people knit while watching tv - I make trolls. Each one is unique, like my newest one - Maxwell, and there are only a few of them available. I hope you'll check them out! (Click the logo or Maxwell to visit my store.)

CALL FOR ART!
Have you or your children colored or created something using one of my Coloring Page Tuesday images? If you post it on a blog, you can also post it to my gallery and maybe I'll share your creation next week! (It doesn't have to be a card - I like 2-year-old scribbles too!)

Did You Know...
      I create my coloring pages for teachers, librarians, booksellers, and parents to enjoy with their children, but also to let the public know about MY BOOKS. I hope you'll take a moment to check them out and spread the word! Word of mouth is the best advertising I can get, so I'm counting on YOU!
