April... : )

It's a gorgeous day over here in California..I cannot complain one bit as this is one of those fine Spring days that you just can't help but reflect upon. This morning, there was an amazing pattern of airplane trails in the bright blue sky..it reminded me of the crisscross of an apple pie. : )

If you have a moment, check out my group blog's wonderful April post..
the ladies (Julissa, Nina, Cally, Bee and Jennifer) over at www.welovetoillustrate.com have created a fantastic range of FREE downloadable Easter fun! Here is my contribution:

Also, I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by Martina of http://martinagolafre.blogspot.com/ and she has graciously posted it on her blog. Please visit her blog for fantastic interviews of artists from around the world. Thanks Martina!

Back to work I go...thanks for taking the time to pop on by. Have a lovely April ahead!

  7. Hehehehehe! Happpy Spring. I am laughing because Mita has so many "handles", aliases, names, avatars. How does she keep them all straight? Oooops! I should not ask, I think I have more. Hahahahah!

    How are you Shirley? I hope all is well with you. You know, it's 2:13 AM as I type this sentence and I just woke up to fetch my on call pager and for some reason decided to visit you. Now isn't that special? I wake up from my sleep and find the colors of jelly beans here. So sweet, but I must go back to sleep. So, have a blessed night.

    Happy Spring! (It's summer here aready in Texas:)

    Tsup!!!
