Page 14) Pins and Darts page.. - 1 Cookie crumbling in his hands...but wait isn't he only supposed to be holding half a cookie?  Don't you just love his blood shot eyes?  Artist Adam Koford did such an incredible job.

Want to Share Your Cookie Page) - 1 Cookie in Logo and 6 cookies dropped on page and another 15 cookies on cookie sheet.  Did you notice our chubby little policeman?  The poor guy has been running since the very 1^st page of the book.  Did you think he was chasing the thief?  If you looked closely you noticed he was carrying a cell phone, but it wasn't his.

Meat with Your Cookie) - Finally our officer "catches up with his man" and returns the phone to it’s rightful owner.  Hey, you didn’t think he was chasing a thief right?  Good, I’m glad you aren't one to "jump to conclusions."  :)

Find 10 Differences Page) Having a bit of fun here as I asked Artist Adam Koford to create this picture so I would have something very unique to share with meeting and event planners who are inundated with countless demo videos and "one sheets" that they say begin to all look and sound alike after a while. Since I began the journey of being a corporate storyteller or speaker, I have been blessed with a calendar of dates filled by word of mouth referrals. 

Last Page - I hold a cookie and Adam covets a cookie so that makes two - Check out these URLs for fun stuff, good times and very creative products....I don't think any of the websites have cookies.  :)
