  • The Window Seat

    The Window Seat

    “Bless those who see life through a different window. And those who understand their view.” I had every intention of taking my time and making more of an effort to create high quality illustrations, but I’ve started at least 4 or 5 that I’ve had to set aside because it’s just not in my genes…

  • Miss Blue Shoe

    Miss Blue Shoe

    “Don’t step on my blue suede shoes.” -Elvis Presley I’ve been on quite the “illustration journey” these past couple of days… and today especially. If it wasn’t enough that I was feeling a little low last night, my son – who lives in Texas – called, and he was down too. As a mom who…

  • The Jubilation Jig

    The Jubilation Jig

    Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. —William Arthur Ward I tried to fast forward last night… and then I closed the book altogether. It’s a good book, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not what I was looking for. The good news is that the first chapter…
