The last five signings and some gift sets, too.

The last five book and kit signings were such a blast.When I started the book tour the end of last year I had no idea how much fun they would be and how much I would miss meeting you guys when they were all over. Thank you so much to everyone that came out to one of the 2o+ signings. Along the way I have tried to get pictures of everyone that came by to say hi and also recap each city on the site. This time I combined the last several cities in one big giant post.

San Francisco, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego and Austin.

There are a few photos from each city below as well as slideshows of all the photos from each. Feel free to use any of the pics from flickr if you find one of yourself.

It was so great starting off the signings at Chronicle Books Headquarters in San Francisco. Say hi to Emily. She designed the kit and the notecards box sets. So so cute.

Theres nothing like watching the excitement on little ones faces when they look through the book. Its still such a gift for me to see.

There were lots of fun and friendly faces in San Francisco.

Like sweet Melissa of Best Friends for Frosting. She did a little interview with me while she was there.

The Barnes and Noble in Orlando brought more friendly faces.

Like my friend Robyn from Add a Pinch. She lives out of state, but made time during her family Disney vacation to stop by. She really is the super sweetest.

And heres Julie from The Little Kitchen. So glad to see your smiling face!

I just want to take a minute to thank everyone at all the signings over the last year or so that brought such sweet gifts to share.

You guys made me feel so special through your many talents and your kind words. I can think of several right! now tha t even brought tears. Sweet happy tears.

Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my happy heart.

The Phoenix Barnes and Noble was a lot of fun, too.

These girls were a blast. They were a great group of bloggers that all came to the event together.

Cute suede shoes. Guess which ones are mine.

I met Amy of Amy Miller Designs. She makes faux cupcake ornaments and shipped some special cake pop ornaments for me a while ago. And look at these Muppets she brought to the signing. They are faux Muppet Cake Pops. And they are fantastic! I need to take a better pic and share it on Twitter.

This is Jennifer. Check out her site if you make lots and lots of cake pops at a time. She has a cak e ball roller that could help you out.

Its Phoenix. We had to have some cactus cake pops of course. Excellent use of white jimmies, Arianna!

San Diego. Yay!

Check out Kris. She makes the fantastic hot air balloon cake pops and much more.

And look at theseMarshmallow Treats by Alejandra.Amazing.

Look at this cutie pie!

Hi there little one. So glad to meet you and your mom and learn what we have in common. Big big hug!

And sweet Julie from Jaybird Quilts. My mom and I had the most fun talking with you.

The last book signing was in Austin at Book People.

My friends Georgia Pellegrini, The Girl Hunter and Marla of Family Fresh Cooking came with me to the signing. Love you guys! We all had plans with several more bloggers the next day for a fun Girl Hunter Getaway hosted by Georgia. More on that soon.

There was lots of signing. And some note taking, too.

There were hugs

And even some extraordinary chickens.
