Pamela Smart poses in her kitchen with a facebook post image of a fully colored page from her coloring book done by one of her fans, Rochelle Puffe, Wednesday. Pamela Smart hit the jackpot with her coloring books, which she self-publishes through a local printer, Caxton. The books are now being sold across the Costco chain, giving Caxton a big spike in business and helping to support Smart and her husband financially. She's also now able to donate books and other supplies to seniors with Alzheimers and veterans. Story here. (AP/Idaho Statesman photo: Kyle Green)
