TEN SCOTTIE DOGS WATERSTONES EVENT UPDATE
A huge “THANK YOU” to everyone who came along to the “Story Singalong” at Waterstones Dundee to celebrate “Ten Scottie Dogs”.
I hope you all had as much fun as I did. It was especially brilliant to hear all those lovely ‘singing’ voices!
It was wonderful to meet you and get the chance to see those AWESOME Scottie and Westie coloured-in artworks.
A ‘SHOUT OUT’ to the lovely team at Waterstones Dundee for hosting the event. Thanks so much for your support.
Last, but not least, “THANK YOU” to the brilliant team at Forth Books, and to Garry Thorburn for his FABULOUS artwork that brought those pesky Scottie Dogs to life.
Without the support of family and friends, and each and every one of you, none of this would have been possible.
