Dearest Readers,
Rosie’s Alphabet Book is finished and published. I uploaded the text and images Thursday night to blurb.com.
In two weeks one printed book at a reasonable price is due at my doorstep.
Copies and a preview of each page will be available online after December 15th at my "bookstore" http://www.blurb.com/user/store/CeceliaCece

As a refugee from years in the printing, advertising and graphic
design worlds, this is a miracle. In the late 70’s I was doing paste up and
mechanicals...literally gluing printed type on boards and making photostats
(PMTs) of solid “line” images (usually black and white) or cutting amberlith
plastic squares to position pictures that the pre-press area would “strip” in
after the pictures had been split into 4 pieces of screened film by a color
separator into dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. (cmyk). In the 90’s and
in my 50’s, I struggled to learn the digital revolution, and I’m glad I did.
I’m not a computer graphic genius, but I have my feet firmly on the computer
room floor.
So here are the final letters where I left off: S-Z, plus a
revised J image and rhyme.
At the bottom of the blog is a newly completed self-portrait
and quilted vintage portrait hankie.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, DEAR ROSIE!

J is for your brother Jack Who likes to climb trees in the front yard or back. |
S is for sound That comes to your ear. It could be a train Or a plane that you hear. |
T is for train With the blocks and the whistle. I can't think of a rhyme, So I've added a thistle. |
U is umbrella That's inside out, Blown by the wind And tossed about. |
V is for Vespa, A motor scooter, That makes so much noise You might like to mute her. |
W is for wagon That's red and plastic. Rosie likes to ride in it– She thinks it's fantastic. |
X marks the spot Where a picture should be. I'm sorry to say There is nothing to see. |
Y stands for Yowie! A happy sound. You might shout it high, Or low on the ground. |
Z is for Zebra The alphabet's friend. We need her to bring This book to an end. |
MERRY CHRISTMAS, DEAR ROSIE!
