"I've always written, but for my own enjoyment. I hadn't really thought about children's stories until my grandchildren were born. They brought me back to seeing life through a child's eyes. Nothing is better than seeing the magic appear as a child looks at life. I've had several experiences as being Mrs. Claus. Lots of Mrs. Claus phone calls. Some very cute, and some sad ones as well. The purpose of my books is to bring smiles into a child's world. With my latest book, Santa's Hat, I continue the series of life with the Claus family.

And, now Mrs. Claus has a web site, www.MrsClausSays.com . Check out the Calendar coloring pages, her Blog and a beautiful Seasonal Wreath you can order!

Santa's Secret

It's three days before Christmas and Mrs. Claus and the elves go off to the market to buy Santa last-minute supplies for his Christmas Eve trip. All day the elves are acting silly. They can't stop giggling. What she doesn't know is that Santa is planning a surprise birthday party for her. Hopefully the elves won't give it away. Sometimes it's just so hard to keep secrets---especially about birthday parties!

There has been lots of talk about a very special prize. During the party judges have to guess who each elf is. Sometimes they don't know.
