Great posts, Kim! I had the BEST TIME being your biggest fan last Saturday. Not your #1 Fan, but your biggest. :)

Wait....there was cake???? How in the world did I miss the cake????

You have the best friends (and I don't mean me! :) ). How totally awesome that whole day was, and I was so honored to be there to watch it unfold.

Next time, though, I need to don my BF shirt. I definitely look like I didn't get the memo! :)

congrats on an awesome party, signing, release, launch....and very bright future!

I've been reading about your launch party on Heidi's blog and it looked amazing. Just picked up your book yesterday and I can't wait to read it.
