When the Rain Falls

When the rain falls

Dance to the beat.

You won't feel so wet

If you move your feet.

Cute Kitchen Art

Food in our house is always a group effort. With two toddlers underfoot making anything more complicated than a sandwich involves two people. I've been teaching my oldest to help out too. His favorite job is peeling garlic! It's the perfect mommy helping job for an almost 3 year old. As easy as it would be to cook in peace and quiet, I'm really beginning to enjoy our family cooking time. I did this little drawing with those thoughts in my head.

Snake Wearing a Scarf

When you woke up this morning the last thing you probably expected to see, with the possible exception of cats dancing the conga, was a snake wearing a scarf. Well, now that you've seen it you probably have some questions like, "How does he keep those scarves on?" "Do they even help keep him warm?" "If he is wearing earmuffs where are his ears?" Don't ask me. I just drew it. I'll leave the explanations up to smarter people than I.

Typewriter Valentine

Christmas is over. New Years has come and gone. Do you know what that means? That's right it's almost Valentine's Day. I'm working on a few greeting card designs for Recycled Paper Greetings right now. Of course they won't be in stores this Valentine's Day but I'll let you know if they are going to be out for 2014. If you would really like one of my one-of-a-kind handmade cards for this Valentine's Day stop by my store to see what I have available.

Giraffe Nursery Art

I love this giraffe baby saying hello to his mom. It would be adorable in a nursery! Now one of my friends just need to have a baby.

A Very Beckwith Christmas

When Chris and I were first married we didn't have much money and lived in a tiny apartment. Our first Christmas together we decorated one of our house plants with handmade ornaments. Even though we live in a much bigger house and have space and money for a real tree we still decorate a houseplant with the same handmade ornaments. This year we decorated the avocado tree we grew from a seed.

Are there any special ornaments on your tree this year?
