  10. Hehehehe. Aaaww Shirley, I just love you! Tsup!!!! I was in New Jersey in my 20's. I don't think I painted or illustrated a snow scene ever. :( I do now that I am in Zululand Texas. We still are running our airconditioning!!!

  12. Heyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Welcome back, welcome back!!! So glad you made it in time for your own prompt, and a wonderful one at that!

    Aww, there is a beautiful serenity to this. I have a song flowing through my head, something about all being calm and bright. I remember being back east and listening to the silence of the snow. Ahh, the trail of moonlight is the cherry on the sundae. Now I want to gently shake this image and make the snow swirl around like a snowglobe.

    Heeheheeeeeeee! Love your little mo! My husband used to tell my girls that anyone could grow a mustache if they thought hard enough. You must have had a brain surge! :D

  14. Hey LadyBug!! How are you darling girl? Are you working hard and enjoying it?? I surely hope so. I am doing well and working and enjoying it. So much is going on and I have not had a chance to really blog like I've been wanting too. I just adore your book Launch! I can't wait to share it over the Thanksgiving holiday with my the children and my nieces and nephews. We have had a whole bunch of babies born in the last couple of days. Needless to say we are so excited. Thanks so much for stopping by because I know how busy you are. Thanks so much for sharing your comfort food with us. I hope you win! Sending you the biggest and bestest hug I can muster right now at 4:00am. Best to you.

  24. Congratulations on the release of your book! Your character illustrations are adorable, but this snowy scene reminds me so much of my beloved Hokkaido, so I just had to leave my comment here. Thanks for you comment on my Etegami blog. :)
