"E" #2

This painting was done for my new baby step niece.

Invitation

I just finished the invitations for Wilder's birthday. Yes, I am aware that it is really early to get them out, but today is his last day of school and in order to get them to his school friends they have to go out today. I think they came out really cool, so I wanted to show them off. I took off our address so they whole world doesn't know where we live. Last year we had some issues with extra siblings that we weren't expecting and I read in a parenting magazine that it was totally acceptable to specify in the invitation ahead of time that that's not cool, so hopefully it goes over well.

"E"

One of the doctors I work with just had a baby so I painted her something for her room. I am not sure that I am good at girly. My step brother's wife also had a baby so I will be painting another "E" painting very soon. If you can't tell, there is glitter paint on the "E" and polka dot ribbon on it as well.

Pigeon

I made this for my friend's daughter's birthday. It is from the book "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus,"and she loves that book and the authors other book "Knuffle bunny." Heath cut him out of particle board and I painted him. The wing and bunny as well as the eye lid are actually on a different level. His legs are made from pipe cleaners, and I think it came out really cute.

The Missing Post

I haven't posted in a while so here are the updates. I have had a headache for 4 months now. Heath has a good job that he likes. Catherine is getting pinned for nursing school on the 8th. Wilder has two new cousins. And Father broke his foot walking down the stairs. That's about it in a nutshell. This picture is a book cover that I did as a test for Brown Book Publishers in Addison. They liked it but the author did not I guess. I had put it up before with the title and stuff on it, but since it's not actually published that's a big no-no, so they asked me to take it down. So here it is with out the title and author's name. Lately I have been making presents for my friends and I will post those pictures when the send them to me. Hint, Hint, Steph.

New Ad Sheet

I am sorry that I haven't been posting anything lately. I have been trying to teach myself how to make a website and send out mailers to publishers. So I thought that I would share one with everyone. Feel free to print it out and give it to your friendly neighborhood children's book publisher.

Happy Valentine's Day

Wilder wanted to give everyone kisses.
