Once Upon a Time...

Humpty made a wrong turn somewhere.

Maybe he was just egg-cited to get out of the house.

Maybe he was into egg-treme sports.

No matter which way you stir the batter,

he's now just food for thought.

There was an enchanted cottage in the woods...

Once upon a time... there was a little girl who wished everyday for a puppy. Finally her parents thought it was time and took the little girl to the breeders to choose one. She sat on the grass and a whole bunch a happy little puppies came bouncing with joy and that's when she noticed a little chubby one peeking behind a water bowl... he looked so sweet and shy. She went to him and he slowly sat on the the girl's lap and it was love at first site right then.

Ok, ok.. the little girl is me ;o) and the puppy was Sam, a yellow Lab, my first dog. He lived with me and slept by the foot of my bed up until I was all grown up and left the house. He will always be my special dog, no matter how many others come after him.

There was a pbj'er that got so manic about getting her dummy book out on time that she completely forgot it was her turn to post yesterday.

I stayed up late last night printing so it would be ready for binding when the kids went off to school today. See the pile on the right corner? It's all for nothing. I didn't make sure the images were exactly centered so they are each 1/4 off when you print them back to back on the same sheet.
Hard to explain but just know, I'm peeved at myself and need to spend the morning printing again. =o)

What a waste of time and paper. GRIPE GRIPE GRIPE.

Once upon a time, I created this illustration for an SCBWI illustration contest. The subject was "Wacky Wedding".

While I've never been completely happy with this final illustration - I was sort of experimenting with characters (the main ones), and in the end they kind of feel emotionally removed from me a bit due to that - I do love how the supporting cast came out! :)
