15:19:11 |
signingbaby |
No pressure there. |
|
15:20:00 |
WeeHands |
but it's really focussed then |
|
15:20:09 |

a shorter read is easiest for new parents |
|
15:20:15 |
signingbaby |
We'll see lol |
|
15:20:19 |
signingbaby |
I don't have a lot of self-confidence |
|
15:20:29 |
WeeHands |
brb |
|
15:20:54 |
WeeHands |

|
15:21:02 |
WeeHands |

|
15:21:21 |
signingbaby |

|
15:21:23 |
signingbaby |
Haha. |

15:21:36 |
WeeHands |

|
15:21:56 |
WeeHands |

|
15:22:16 |
signingbaby |
I work well under pressure! I think so anyway. And yes, what
do you want to know? |
|
15:22:39 |
signingbaby |
I'm using a red colored pencil, just like in high school. |
|
15:22:41 |
signingbaby |
lol |
|
15:22:44 |
WeeHands |
what will make it different then other books? |
|
15:22:55 |
WeeHands |

|
15:23:03 |
WeeHands |
did you get a copy of baby signs? |
|
15:23:04 |
signingbaby |
No highlighters, it smears my ink. LOLOL |
|
15:23:16 |
signingbaby |
I never got one of course, I'm sorry I didn't email you
back. |
|
15:23:23 |
WeeHands |
do you still need it? |
|
15:23:39 |
signingbaby |
Anyway, this book is an illustrated book" so it's not just
pages and pages of text ... hard to explain" |
|
15:23:50 |
WeeHands |
you're library doesn't have one? |
|
15:24:00 |
signingbaby |
The people who are putting it together will be putting
together a few sample spreads, and when they do I'll have a
better way to explain it |
|
15:24:05 |
