Merry Christmas
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.” ~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), American president. Presidential message (December 25, 1927).
God gave His greatest gift to us on that f irst Christmas Day.
We wish you a Christmas filled with the wonder of the birth of Christ, the warmth of the Holiday spirit and the love of family and friends.

Illustration Friday “Puzzled”
Illustration Friday “Forward”
This week’s Illustration Friday theme is “Forward”. My idea was inspired the other day when my oldest daughter was giving her little sister a piggy-back ride. They looked so funny flying through our living room. She reminded me of a little monkey clinging to her sister’s back and screaming “GO!” Then she tried riding her brother’s back, but this time they didn’t so much fly as creep through the rooms with her still yelling “GOOOO!” and giggling uncontrollably. Somehow, when I sat down to draw it became a tortoise with little mice riding on his back yelling…. FORWARD! Gooooo!
Illustration Friday “Prepare”
This week’s Illustration Friday topic is “Prepare”. It made me smile when I considered the possibilities for my sketch because in my house it seems like everything we do takes hours of preparation. It’s hard to go anywhere or do anything with three young children without packing for any and all potential situations and/or catastrophes. A quick trip to the grocery store quickly turns into multiple lost shoes, three trips to the bathroom, a toy for everyone, an extra drink of water, a handful of snacks shoved into my purse a diaper bag with extra clothes in the trunk and then turning around at the end of the street to drive back because I forgot the actual grocery list on the kitchen counter! Now that some of my children are old enough to get themselves “prepared” it makes me laugh to see the kinds of things they believe they NEED, and I wonder… What is going through those little minds?
Illustration Friday “Grounded”
As part of my goals for the new year I’ve decided to participate in some of the amazing groups and competitions that exist in this big wide world. One of them being Illustration friday (Illustration friday). This week’s topic is “grounded”. After sketching a few ideas I dismissed the most obvious (although I liked a few of the sketches themselves) and chose one that was a little off the beaten path. Here’s one of the sketches I didn’t choose but I thought you all might enjoy seeing anyway!
