This post is to celebrate the simple joy of a clean desk! Such possibility! The space! WOW! 
These are silhouettes of my daughters that I did back in 2007 when they were 2ish and 4ish. (Visit Mr. Yen's
shop to see some of his stunning papercuts, his work is absolutely brilliant!)
This is something I have been sketching lately. It is from the cover of my all-time favorite children's book from when I was a kid (
The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, written
by DuBose Heyward and illustrated by Marjorie Flack). My Mom used to sit me down with art books when I was a kid to have me learn from the greats and stretch my skills and imagination. I had forgotten how fun and challenging it was! And who doesn't love drawing bunnies??? The kiddies are excited for school to start next week and I am mentally preparing myself to dive into Mural 2 and the
Sketchbook Project and working on my book dummies and handling registration for the
MNSCBWI Fall Conference and sending out a new postcard and having a fun giveaway on the ol' blog. Also, I now have 3 illustrations up on Project OpenBook that you could vote on if you haven't already:
Lost and Found,
Book Club, and
On Cloud Nine (written by my wonderful friend,
Jen, who I have been friends with since meeting in 7th grade english class with Mr. Stokes!!!).
