Today I was fiddling around in Illustrator, and created this illo for Lil' Miss Kate. I'm going to have it printed on archival paper, frame it, and hang it in her room. I sure hope she likes it. :)
Tomorrow we're having a picnic-style birthday party for Alison and Kate. I have cakes to bake, party favors to pretty-up, and a million other party-related things! Should be a fun day! I'll fill you all in later!
****Oh, and so sorry about the temporarily "closed comments" in the raffle post (not sure what happened there!)! Those folks who entered the raffle via e-mail. . .no worries! I'm including you too! In the meantime, if you haven't entered the contest, whattya waiting for? :)

Love, love, the illo!!
If the drawing is still open here's my humble offering. It's a dumb joke I've been telling my son almost every this week just because I like to see him roll his eyes whenever I say it.
What kind of snack do ducks like to eat?
Quackers!
Groan.
