Cookies by Meredith and hand painted Christmas tags by me.

We donated a copy to my daughter's preschool. I really appreciated the nice note from the teachers and class! This makes my whole day.

Powell's Books now carries Why Do the Animals Sleep in the Barn?
If you ever visit Portland, stop by their Burnside store. It takes up a whole block!

Illos. are complete, now the layout

All of the illustrations are finally finished. I am going to edit the text and apply it to the art. I also need to work on a dummy book, so that I can figure out the number of pages and how they will lay out. Once completed, I am ready to start on the next book. I have a couple of ideas that I am currently kicking around. I also need to finish getting the marketing together for this one.

2/3 Finished

I just completed the first batch of my original set of drawings. It has been a little over a year since I first wrote the book, so I feel like I am behind schedule. I have 14 more pages left to do before September. Should be a piece of cake! It is all downhill from here.

Painting

I have been painting over the last few months. I will begin to post the images over the next few days. I still have a lot left to do!
