Yes, I am still smiling about my “Catch a Falling Star” FB party — and it happened two days ago!
The best part of the party for me? Talking with everyone who joined the celebration. Yes, “talking” meant typing … and refreshing the Facebook page multiple times … and scrolling up and down (and repeat, repeat, repeat) — but it was so, so worth it!
Caitlin with Litfuse Publicity Group manned the helm, which meant she and I were in constant contact via speaker phone. She’d say, “I’m going to load the next round of trivia questions. Can you see them?” And lo and behold, there the trivia questions would be! (How many children do I have?)
My youngest daughter set beside me and watched the whole process and other family members viewed the fun from various laptops in the family room outside my office. Their comments were hysterical. Next time they want a live Facebook party — with their participation too, of course!
Thank you, thank you to everyone who came by and partied with me, celebrating the release of Catch a Falling Star. And thanks to those of you who emailed or IMed or texted and said you wish you were there (hhhhmmm … sounds like a book title, doesn’t it?).

That was a serious amount of FUN!!
I think I should get a prize for my incredible behaviour. Don’t you? Huh? Dontcha?!?!?!
But, then again, I don’t *need* a temporal, earthky prize, because in the grand scheme of treasures and gifts, I have you.
Here’s the L…
You throw great parties, but then that’s partly because you have so many great friends and admirers who care. All the best, always, and keep it up.
Yes it was fun! Glad I got to come by.
It was fun! Thanks again for hosting it.
It was great fun! I enjoyed the quiz & reading people’s responses to the questions. 🙂
Beth, so had a blast! It’s neat to hear the behind the scenes story with your family all having fun with us. I never thought about how the parties happen, with speakerphones and such. There’s a lot more to this whole process than I ever thought!
Keep smiling, Beth. I know I am. 😀
Blessings,
Andrea
