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.

Like sweet Melissa of Best Friends for Frosting. She did a little interview with me while she was there.

Here’s the San Francisco Slideshow…

Like my friend Robyn from Add a Pinch. She lives out of state, but made time during her family Disney vacation to stop by. She really is the super sweetest.

I just want to take a minute to thank everyone at all the signings over the last year or so that brought such sweet gifts to share.

You guys made me feel so special through your many talents and your kind words. I can think of several right now that even brought tears. Sweet happy tears.

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.

This is Jennifer. Check out her site if you make lots and lots of cake pops at a time. She has a cake ball roller that could help you out.

  160. The most recent “gift” I purchased was by far the best one I’ve given this year. Ran into a young lady and her mother in the Kohl’s parking lot that were asking strangers for just $42 to get a room for the night at a hotel since they had spent the previous night in their car and just wanted a warm room and a shower. I didn’t have much cash on me, so I gave her what I had and got into the car and discussed with my roommate what we could do. We decided to go get more cash and hope that they were still there when we returned. Thankfully, they were. Their tears became my tears and that very small gift will most certainly be the best present I both give and receive this Christmas.

  169. A camo snuggie for my video game playing son to keep warm with!

  170. Just yesterday I purchased a pair of pajamas for my mom. She actually picked them out and then I paid for them. I’ll bet she will be so surprised when she opens them up on Christmas Eve! ; )

  171. Purchased some MEDLINE Remedy Lotion for several people, had to order it online. I’m a nurse and It’s the lotion we use in the ER on patients and on our own hands to save them from drying out. It’s the best lotion EVER so it makes great gifts :)

  172. The very last was groceries today. Sort of special things to fill bags instead of stockings.
