			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Barney game" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2664/3774706652_301a81e1ee_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="186" />It&#8217;s a sell out! My colour &amp; shape matching boardgame, <strong><a href="http://www.brightideasoutfit.com/games/">Collect-a-Shape with Barney</a></strong>, designed together with Justine Heydra and distributed by Just Fun Toys, has been so popular it has sold out. There is not another unit in the warehouse and I have no stock left. So, if you still want the game for your children this year, visit Toys R Us, ToyZone, Pick &#8216;n Pay or Lilliputs to pick up the last of the games on the shelves. I am now out of stock too! We only expect another production run next year.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Thomas game" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3774706664_dcbcd1441b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="423" />However, you can still get the Thomas version of the same game, <a href="http://www.brightideasoutfit.com/games/"><strong>Thomas&#8217; Shape Station Game</strong> </a>from me or in any of the stores mentioned above. Once again, stock is limited. Both games retail at R199.00.</p>
<p>My publisher, Metz Press, has confirmed that 4 000 copies of my new book, <strong><a href="http://www.brightideasoutfit.com/games/">Easy Answers to Awkward Questions</a></strong> (co-authored with Ilze van der Merwe) have been sold in just 3 months! I am thrilled with this figure which includes both English and Afrikaans versions. Wilsia Metz is taking the book to the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany in this month, so hold thumbs!</p>
