It’s been almost a year since I started this blog with a project like what I am starting today. So here we go again, the count down to Christmas, one drawing a day, for my kids and you all. Enjoy!

Every morning the drawing waits for them in the kitchen table with a treat.

Letters, letters, letters! There is a lot of interest in reading at our house lately. The other day watching my four year old’s fork skills with spaghetti I told her she was growing up, her response was quick. – Yes, so I can read.

The smile says it all

This drawing is about happiness. It’s about my kid who is growing up happy and doing alright.

Witch for a day

One day last week Olivia got to choose between dressing up as a super hero or a villain to go to school. She chose Kiki, the young witch apprentice from Kiki’s Delivery Service by the wonderful Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. When Tess saw she was taking an old broom with her, she could not have been more amazed at her older sister, she was going to fly!
