So what does an illustrator do between deadlines? Celebrate!
I started with birthday cake for breakfast, before it was light out. Icing and coffee: so good together.
Getting cool cards like this one from Marty is always a gift.
And to get tickets to a Cirque du Soleil performance, whew. My daughter and I were thrilled!
C’est tres bien to share a birthday with a soul sistah like Nicole d’Entremont, neighbor, friend, author, and teacher. Here we are wishing big things. Thanks, Eleanor Morse, for hosting!
I cured my hankering for mountains with a visit to the motherland of orange trees.
The Flume is nothing short of spectacular. Have you ever been? It’s a favorite spot of mine since childhood. All that granite is very grounding.
Yet the biggest surprise was waiting upon return. Hooray! My advance copies of Here Come the Humpbacks!
