It seems that I finally found a new course for my creativity.
I've written a children's book...
I am so very nervous! And very very excited about it. I don't want to share what I've written, as I'm praying so very hard that I can somehow get this to a publisher and get it put into print, but ANY words of advice or encouragement would be so appreciated. If you've been through the process, for bad or good, as author or illustrator, I'd love to hear from you!

Work in Progress - 1-14-09
Yippee! My first work of the new year! Here's a small sketch that was inspired by my trip to the Dickens Faire this past Christmas. I used a picture of one of the gowns I took to help me a bit with how the dress should look.

Book Binge
I've been pretty absent from the blog world since the holidays started, and I have to apologize to you, my wonderful online friends.
My creative juices seemed to have dried up temporarily. I'm hoping they get back on track soon. I do have a couple of sketches to share with you, but I keep getting errors so I'll post them at another time. I have to admit, I'm enjoying the lull in life, as short-lived as it may be. I've gone on a major book binge. I haven't had one of these in years, and it's so refreshing. In the past month I've managed to read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (for perhaps the twentieth time), A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (also at about read twenty, I've read it faithfully every Christmas since I was a teenager), Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (first read, and incredible book), A Nativity Story (based on the movie that came out a few years ago) and have even started in on the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer (I'm in the middle of book two now; I swear, I just can't put these down!). Phew! I love a good book binge. Have you read any good books lately?

Happy Epiphany!
Wishing you a happy Epiphany!
This is the creche I grew up with, and my mom blessed me with it several years ago. I love this creche so much, and it really brings back sweet memories for me. Typically all of the Christmas decor comes down the minute Christmas is over; this is the only piece that stays with us through the entire twelve days of Christmas. I get a little sad when I have to put it away each year!
