I was all set to head in to the printer's today and have all the boxes prepped, but the printing quality was below our standard and we are shooting for Monday now, as they needed a fine tuning repair on their printers.

Exciting book update!

The printer let me know that several of our books we had on Back Order, were ready for pickup today and I asked about the Frosty books and they said maybe tomorrow.   They will let me know tomorrow!   I brought the proof to my family Christmas gathering and my Mom said "It is very colorful!"   There is lots of color and great art and images!   It doesn't just pertain to Frosty, as there are images of surviving Animagic figures and from my events, etc.   I will keep everyone posted and add the tracking #s to orders as I ship.  If they are done tomorrow, I will have a busy Friday night and Larry the mailman will have a busy Saturday!  You can still order yours exclusively at www.miserbros.com

January 4-5, 2020!

I am Thankful for a lot of things this year and Thank everyone for their support this Green Christmas! #christmas #holidayseason2019 #twelvedaysofchristmas

Our site looks real Christmasy right now and Frosty book orders still flowing through. Feels good to know this is the week! Pull up an iceberg!

Here is the Smithsonian Magazine article I helped with, that was posted today! Many more articles to come this Holiday season and in 2020! Also, I picked up various books today and shipped some out for delivery tomorrow and this week! I am told the Frosty book should be done by the end of the week, which means more than likely they will ship on Saturday!
