"Life is swell...

...when I'm sailing along with you," said Kitten to Owlet. 

Hi everyone! I'm off for a bit and will be back when I surface..working hard on a project and hope to share some of it when I return!
It's awesome to see your visits and comments..they mean a lot to me!
I hope this finds you well as we sail through August
and into fall out here in the US! : ) ~ Shirley

    Shirley, your illustrations never fail to put a huge smile on my face! I love every single one of them! I saw these little newspaper hats on these adorable characters and had to giggle! Can they be any cuter! Looking forward to seeing what you're working on! :)

    Every time I see the word "swell" I start humming Orch's Connecticut Yankee's "Thou swell..." That reminds me I should get that album. How are you Shirley? Though I have been very quiet, I have been reading you and visiting. Hope when things calm down I'll get back to my routine. Take care. Tsup!
