Never have I had so much fun editing a book as when I worked with Author

Chellis Jensen on her (catchy-to-pronounce) book about Mrs. Annathena Gilly

Gully From Puddle Rumple Tilly Willy. It took me only three weeks of

practice to let the name roll off my tongue. I'm sure children do it in much

less time. This book is a jewel of a book for kids who love to smile and

have fun with words. Jensen is a topnotch wordsmith with the heart and

understanding of children of all ages.

A note from Chellis-

From Sept. 10th to the 26th, the Hobby Hall at the Puyallup Fair will feature an exhibit centered around the costumes and singing career of Chellis Swenson Jensen, better known as Rhinestone Rosie.  Five - 4' x 8' stages will display many of the handmade dresses  and hats from her collection. Glass cases will include her collections of fans, purses, boas, jewelry, music and other items  from the 1890's into the early 1900's.  Chellis entertained thousands of people for over 25 years throughout the Pacific Northwest and the U.S. from the early 1970's into the mid-1990's.   

 How exciting, Chellis! We'll be there!
