New addition to the studio...



So I haven't been much of a blogger lately and I'm quite ok with this decision. I feel that summer time should be dedicated to long walks and gardening (or whatever may be your pleasure)... besides... I got a dog. My husband and I rescued Leppard from SCARS (second chance animal rescue society) last Saturday.

She's been so good and patient with my cat, Monte, and is learning when I need to work in high gear (no playing with her ball while I'm working, etc) and when it's time to go hog wild in the back yard. It's been wonderful to have an excuse to go for long walks - I feel that she's my new gym pass and I've never had more motivation to keep up with my running and to enjoy the outdoors, something I haven't been able to convince my cat to do yet.

Oh! And I almost forgot - I was awarded an "I love your blog" award by Chrissy Fanslau. Thanks Chrissy. It's so nice to know that people read and love my blog, even when it gets neglected.

Here's the 7 people I shall pass the award to:
Gina, Elizabeth, Heather, Abigail, Rachelle, Paige, Jannie

While I have a list of dozens of illustrators blogs that I visit on at least a weekly basis, these blogs are beautiful, honest and addictive (be warned!)

  1. awww! Shes very cute! I want a dog too!

    Yeah I 've been slow on the blogging front too. Summertime is meant to be enjoyed outdoors and whatnot. August is almost to an end, we better enjoy it while we can!

    Thanks so much for passing me the award. I love your blog too!

  7. Congratulations on adopting a pet. We did the same almost a year ago for our cat, Reilly. I am always happy to hear about other families that do the same, and give an animal a wonderful home.
    Great picture of the latest addition as well.
    Thanks for sharing.
