I'm trying to remember what I did for these images. I think I just scanned and cropped them, and adjust the brightness and contrast--nothing too fancy. I probably scanned them to a pretty high resolution (this was a year ago so I'm not exact on just what that was), and I think that resulted in the large, clearer images. There are also a few coloring pages that you can download on the B-T website (http://www.betsy-tacysociety.org/fun). <br /><br />I remember how excited I was when I found out there were other people who also loved these books. We're so lucky to have them recently reprinted! Have you heard of the Maud-L Listserv? It's a web network of fans. It's quite extensive and members' posts come through the email. It just finished the annual holiday B-T themed gift exchange, and right now we are in the middle of a group read of all the books. Members also post about other stuff, but lots of people just tune in occasionally. You can find more about how to join that here: http://webspace.webring.com/people/dn/navaho59/maud-l.html.<br /><br />Thank you for the nice comment!Audreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06729516870952658426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964551878076829895.post-86105814433162929022013-01-12T22:05:46.270-05:002013-01-12T22:05:46.270-05:00I discovered this blog yesterday and thought your ...I discovered this blog yesterday and thought your coloring book was a such a cute idea! Thoughtful gifts like these are so charming and meaningful. I'm a young student and a longtime, enormous Betsy-Tacy fan, and coloring is one of the ways I wind down and relieve stress. I purchased the Kindle versions as soon as they were released, and now I read them on my iPad. When I saw this, I went into my iPad and found that I could click on the illustrations and they "pop out" in a white background (although the background was already white), and I could adjust the size to my liking. Generally I found, smaller = sharper, so I'm curious as to how you got such large, crisp images. Any particular program you used?<br /><br />Anyway, then I took screenshots, transferred the images to my computer, and although I haven't done this yet, am sure they will print out nicely on paper without any editing. I've never met anyone in real life who loves these books, and recently found out via Internet that there exists a pretty considerable fan base! :)Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964551878076829895.post-4765661949725151652012-06-05T17:38:07.646-04:002012-06-05T17:38:07.646-04:00Thank you for the compliments. :) I would love to ...Thank you for the compliments. :) I would love to share the images, but since I don't own the rights I'm not sure if I can do that...Audreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06729516870952658426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964551878076829895.post-88089228492842829562012-06-05T03:24:02.634-04:002012-06-05T03:24:02.634-04:00Do you know what would be wonderful??

I had read the first two books to her. She helped with cutting out the mini books, drawing pictures and deciding what we were going to write inside, and I did most of the writing since she didn't know how to spell most of the things she wanted to say. :-)<br /><br />I showed her the pictures of your activity book, and she wants me to make one for her now (she's seven and a half now, and has read the first four books on her own now, more than once I think!)kirstenjoyhillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964551878076829895.post-75408877717359418712011-12-09T19:16:11.853-05:002011-12-09T19:16:11.853-05:00Oh, wow, what a great idea!
