Kreativ Blogger Award


My very talented friend Ann Marie has given me my first blog award!

When you get this you must list 7 things you love and pass it on to other bloggers.

Some random things I love:

1. I love watching my eldest daughter snuggled up with a good book in our book nook. She makes me so proud, and I'm amazed that she's growing up so fast.
2. I love watching my youngest daughter dance and laugh. She is such a happy little spirit, full of life and giggles!
3. I love laughing with my husband. He is the funniest guy I know, and so stinkin' smart. I enjoy everything about him (even the things that drive me crazy, strangely enough!).
4. I really love the movie "Chocolat" with Juliette Binoche, Alfred Molina, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Johnny Depp. It is such a visually beautiful movie, and I really dig Johnny Depp! :)
5. I love my gardens. I'm currently forced into hibernation due to the wicked crazy amounts of snow we've had this winter, but I'm looking at my flower catalogs, and really looking forward to the spring when my hyacinths and crocus start to bloom .... can't wait!!
6. I love all things Celtic - the music, the dancing, the drinking...heh heh!
7. I love asking questions! I'd been accused, in the past, of asking too many questions, but I tell you, there is nothing like it to satisfy a curious mind!

Now I tag the following bloggers:

Business card images





I've ordered business cards to bring to the NE-SCBWI conference. These are the two images I'm using. The spot illo, is on the front, and the other is on the back - both sides in color.

Watercolor Wednesdays - Hot Cocoa


Miss Cocoa was the type of dog that ran in all the right circles, and those circles provided her with her very favorite drink whenever she and her owner were out and about ... Hot Cocoa.

Illustration Friday - Pale




I'm not sure who is paler, the monster beckoning from the closet, or the little boy confronted by him.

Groundhogs Valentine


This is an illo I put together for my daughter's preschool. They wanted a little illustration for their February calendar. Voila - Groundhog gets a valentine.... all I need now is to find some way to include George Washington and Abe Lincoln and we'll have all bases covered. ha ha.
