The last five signings and some gift sets, too.

The last five book and kit signings were such a blast. When I started the book tour the end of last year I had no idea how much fun they would be and how much I would miss meeting you guys when they were all over. Thank you so much to everyone that came out to one of the 20+ signings. Along the way I have tried to get pictures of everyone that came by to say hi and also recap each city on the site. This time I combined the last several cities in one big giant post.

San Francisco, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego and Austin.

There are a few photos from each city below as well as slideshows of all the photos from each. Feel free to use any of the pics from flickr if you find one of yourself.

It was so great starting off the signings at Chronicle Books Headquarters in San Francisco. Say hi to Emily. She designed the kit and the notecards box sets. So so cute.

There’s nothing like watching the excitement on little ones faces when they look through the book. It’s still such a gift for me to see.

There were lots of fun and friendly faces in San Francisco.

Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my happy heart.

I met Amy of Amy Miller Designs. She makes faux cupcake ornaments and shipped some special cake pop ornaments for me a while ago. And look at these Muppets she brought to the signing. They are faux Muppet Cake Pops. And they are fantastic! I need to take a better pic and share it on Twitter.

  8. On Saturday I did a little bit of shopping for my family … finishing up tomorrow! Nothing like the last minute :)

  9. I purchased some gorgeous Czech glass beads and leather to make a wrap bracelet for my sister.

  10. Moby Dick! My husband had mentioned a couple of months ago, that he wanted to reread this classic from his childhood. Yes, he could go to the library, but since he’s notoriously hard to buy Christmas gifts for, I found a lovely copy for him to read.

    Wishing you all good things for Christmas and the New Year, Angie!

  19. Last weekend I actually purchased your Cake Pop book (my 4th. gift book–plus one for myself when they were first published) from B&N Book store.

    I purchased it as a Christmas gift for a girlfriend. Recently she told me her husband bought her a cake pop book from some OTHER company that put out “their” version of how to make cake pops.
    After making her first batch of cake pops, she emailed me and told me, I don’t know how anyone makes those stupid cake pops. They are so difficult and so many little steps and I am having a hard time trying to figure out what this book is telling me to do.

    Soooooo, I made a comment that it was because the OTHER company who put out the book doesn’t explain it well like Angie does in her book nor is it the kind of book that make the project fun and easy!

    I am sure she will be surprised and love your book when she opens it at Christmas.

    Thank you for all you have done to make our lives happy and for sharing your cheerful ideas through your blog. You are a treasure.

  60. The last gift I bought was for my big sister. :)

    I was in Berlin and saw the most amazing notebook by Paperblanks. My sister is a busy woman, she’s a designer, a teacher and a mom – so she definitely needs a good notebook handy.
