Page 2 of my Children's book

Here is page two! I'm on a roll now!

Page 1 of my Children's book

I wrote a children's Christmas book for my 4 month old baby girl and here is the almost complete first page. I still need to ad the words and sketch out the baby's face. I'll add the words once all the pages are complete so you'll have to check back for that. I made the page with scrap paper and lots of glue.



I was also thinking of printing the book in two languages. Both of our families have alot of German heritage so I was thinking about having my German friend translate it for me. I want to teach our children German so this would be a good opportunity for us to learn it.

Elton the Cat

I found this article in the Nov. 08 issue of Cat Fancy called Miracle of a Cover Cat. His name is Elton and I thought he was so pretty! I love his eyes. Turns out Elton had a big of amishap with the anethesia during a routine surgery and he almost died! Luckily he pulled through his ordeal but now has to eat through a feeding tube (it's a long story). Hooray for Elton!

Pets Jubilee goes on sale soon!

Here are a few more featured artists from the Month of November Pets Jubilee Box.

Posh Puppies makes cute doggie bandanas and dresses and I love this plush bone.


Blennox makes lots of fun and funky things like buttons, magnets and earrings. And it's not all dog related either, in case your not a Dog fan (but who isn't?). I think this Dala pin is great for Christmas.


All About Yoshi makes the CUTEST little hair bows for dogs. They'd look pretty silly in my Ernie's fur (he's 90lbs!) but they would sure be cute in a little bitty dog. If you purchase a bow from Yoshi you will be amazed at how small these bows are.

Three Red Trees has joined Pets Jubilee for the month of November. Here are two items from her shop.

I've started a Flickr account
