Clear ornaments don't seem very exciting but with a little imagination and a few supplies they can go form ordinary to extraordinary. I used a few boxes to create a really cool marquee sign! I just painted on my letters and decided where I wanted my bulbs to go. After drilling my holes out with the biggest drill bit in my set, I threaded a string of white Christmas lights into each hole and taped everything in place with duct tape. I hot glued on the clear ornament bulbs and replaced the white lights in the 'O' with red. After the glue dried, I set my sign up outside and plugged it in.

Authors Who Skype with Classes & Book Clubs (for free!) Welcome to the Authors Who Skype with Classes & Book Clubs List! I’m Kate Messner, the children’s author and educator who maintains this site. I started it because I’ve found that virtual author visits are a great way to connect authors and readers, and I realize that many schools facing budget troubles don’t have the option of paid author visits. With that in mind, this is a list of authors who offer free 15-20-minute Q and A sessions with classes and book clubs that have finished reading one of their books. If you’re interested in booking a “virtual visit” with me, please visit my author-Skype page for current availability and directions for requesting a visit! How does a Skype virtual visit work? Authors Who Skype With Classes & Book Clubs (for free!) The following authors offer free 15-20-minute Skype chats with book clubs and classes that have read one of their books!
