Social Follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram! 01/10/2019 Skipper Bay Announcement! If you haven't already, please "like" my page facebook.com/SkipperBayCreative. From here on out, I'll be making book, writing and illustration updates on that page, and this one will become more dormant.

That page is facebook.com/ColoradoLivingRE and will stay separate. ... See more Portraits, paintings, wearable art, books, decor and more!

View on facebook 24/07/2018 Free books by fabulous author Taryn Skipper ;). While I was out of town a sudden rain hit and all but three of my inventory are too damaged to sell ???. It would hurt my little heart too much to throw them out, so let me know if you want any. If you live out of town I'll send them for just the cost of shipping. They are a little warped, some just very slightly and some a little more but very usable, and great for kids who are hard on books anyway. I also have a damaged Chinese /English bear book not pictured ... See more View on facebook 14/06/2018 Getting back to the illustrations for the ocean book!
