It’s our first GUEST POST!  And who better, than our fantastic editor, Kent Richards, to post this information from our book’s first “World Tour”.  It has been reported that our Whimsyland book is really making the rounds, and inspiring creativity everywhere!  Here’s his report….

Hi Liz and Beth,

With all due respect, I would think one of the most powerful men in the world would have more important material to read.  But evidently, President Obama received a copy of your book from none other than the Queen of England.  She asked him to read it in preparation for his Royal visit.  She’s a huge, HUGE fan.

She’s already “Whimsyed Out” Buckingham Palace and she’s…well, some think she’s

out of control, but she’s just trying to lift the spirits of her country!

Her Majesty the Queen: “Have you had a chance to read the book I sent you?”

President Obama:  “Yes, yes I did…read it on the ah…flight over the pond.”

Her Majesty the Queen: “I want to rename Buckingham Palace “Whimsyland” but I’m getting some resistance from Parliament. Can you imagine that?I knew they wouldn’t go for changing our country’s name from England to “Whimsyland”, but I honestly thought I could change the name of Buckingham Palace on my own.  I mean I AM the Queen of England. You know my name is Elizabeth too, just like the Lizzie B girls!

President Obama: “Whimsyland’s nice, but this is Buckingham Palace!  Look, I love you to death, you know that, but we can’t laugh our way out of these problems. Tough decisions have to be made. Sacrifices have to be made…

Her Majesty the Queen: “President Obama, we can NEVER sacrifice Imagination, Laughter, Creativity and Dreams. These are the pillars of humanity…they keep use sane in trying times, and inspire use to greatness.  This is Whimsyland 101 here!

Buckingham Palace as it appears today. Whimsyland influences everywhere.

She had been behind this podium many times before, but this time it was different. This time she was fighting for everything that is Lizzie B.
