Last week my talented friend Alicia passed along this award. A lovely surprise, that lifted my spirits!
I'm supposed to list 7 things that I love. These are completely random:
1. Ebony Design pencils. Absolutely the best.
2. Seeing what form my children's creativity takes. Fascinating!
3. Getting lost in my sketchbook and finding an idea.
4. The smell of a wood stove and fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, together.
5. The internet! Without it, how would I ever have crossed paths with an illustrator in Venezuela, a painter in Mexico, an artist in Pennsylvania... and so many, many others? I love this side of technology!
Now, to pass it on... Julie, Kelly, Christine, Elizabeth, Tara, and Phyllis... whose work and thoughts I find inspiring, and who have all probably gotten this one already!

I'm glad to have crossed paths with you too Jennifer.
That WAS me right? LOL
Christine's comment was very funny.
(so is it 5 things? or 7 things?)
Thankyou Jennifer - you are most kind. I hope to respond when I finish this small series of 'field trip' posts.
Alicia-- We will, someday!!
Haha, Frank-- Yes, very funny! And yes, you. You're the only painter I know in Mexico... so far! ;-)
Hi Tara-- Good question... I'm not sure! I'd say whatever you like. And, of course, take you're time. These are just for fun! :-)
