Preparing for my first author visit

 A friend of mine told me about an author event in June and guess who is going?!  That's right, me!  I'm actually a bit nervous about the whole thing and am trying to thoroughly plan what I need and how to prepare.

My theme is a bit funky!  I went with 70s colors.  A nice stretchy purple table cover with a flower power tapestry to lay over the top for a pop of color.  I used Canva Pro to make my sign and plan on buy a frame to hold the sign, bookmark holders and sticker baskets from the dollar store.

I'm just not ready to invest a lot of money!  It will come, but I am easing into all of this rather slowly.

Oh, on a side note, I am buying the stickers (reading themed) from Amazon.  I designed the bookmarks myself using Canva Pro and will have them printed off via Vistaprint.

I am also going to purchase plate holders to display some books.  I looked at book displays and really the plate holders are cheaper and just as nice.  I am holding off though in case I find something that will work at the dollar store.  When I make that trip, I'll be sure to post about what I found to use!
