[I blog every Friday about my #GR8Finds #ThisWeek. My list is very v-e-r-r-r-y selective
--my own crème de la crème curation. Generally, three to five #GR8Finds.]

A wonderful variety of goodies this week!

2. Library of Congress celebrating "Women's History Month" on Pinterest.

Library of Congress on Pinterest, with 32 boards and 790 pins (follow) -- pretty cool!

3. A coloring book for adults!

Meet The Woman Who Sold A Million Copies Of Her Coloring Books For Adults -- the article

Johanna Basford's website

See her Instagram account below.

This is the drawing that sold a million books. I've been asked a lot recently how I came to get my book deal. It all began with this little tree of owls. I drew this and gave it away as a free download on my website. One of the people that saw it was my editor. She liked the look of my artwork, so she sent me an email and asked if I'd like to make a colouring book. And the rest is history! Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do, is to give stuff away.
