Shel Silverstein is my ultimate gift to the kiddos in my life. He writes such fanciful poems and short stories you can’t help, but let your imagination soar. That’s what I want for the kids I love. The ability to break any boundaries and have limitless imaginations. This Christmas the youngest of our little tribe will be getting his very own 35th Anniversary edition of Where The Sidewalk End. I hope this book teaches him that in life sometimes laughter is the answer.

Allie Standifer lived in various countries around the world. The gift of travel has enabled her to accurately describe the scent, feel of far-off places and feed her overactive imagination.
Her life has been one of constant adventure ever since. From growing up in Saudi Arabia where her brother tried to sell her to Bedouins (for what amounts to less than $1.50), it’s been non-stop. And she loves every minute of it.
Ideas, plots, characters and conversations keep her company from inside her head and fuel her need to write. And no, they don’t tell her to start fires. =) Tired of everyday stories, Allie’s tales have a decidedly paranormal twist to them. They’re filled with past lives, chain e-mail sending oracles, mythical creatures, magic, sexy gods, and heroines who know exactly what they want and aren’t afraid to get it.
Any free time is spent spoiling two nieces and two nephews, pumping them up on sugar, caffeine and buying very loud toys then sending them back to their parents. The perfect revenge for all the slights of being the youngest child.
When not writing or contributing to the delinquency of minors, Allie enjoys being with her friends, travelling, reading, trying to outsmart her psycho cat and spending time with her wonderful and supportive family.

Allie's brother sounds a bit like my older one. He tried to convince me once that I should trade him a dime for his nickel because the nickle was bigger.
(My dad also used to threaten to sell us to the gypsies, but since I never saw one, I think Allie was more in danger.)
Your post had me laughing, Allie. Wishing you a wonderful holiday.
