A Letter from the Blog Artist

Dear Readers to this Ha-ha-happy blog :-)

Thank you for your support to this fun blog.

I will take a blogger's break from the fun sillies I share here. A temporary one though. I'm expecting a book to be born soon. And to prepare for that, I start my "maternity leave" today ;-) But on the bright side, I will be active in other activities related to my book.

What is this book? Have a look at:

Thanks for your patronage.

Warm regards on a cold day,

Dominique Liongson
