They say if you can dream it, you can achieve it. Well, sometimes it's hard to know what we want to achieve. But in this instance, I know EXACTLY what I want and I thought I'd share it with you.
This past christmas while I was waiting in the parking lot of a Walgreens drugstore, I was moody and tired..rain was pouring and I was just ready to go home. It was two days before christmas and you know what a frenzy that can be. Well, all of a sudden I see this charcoal colored convertible vw bug drive into view. It was the cutest thing! And the reason it was so cute was that on the back windshield there was a cartoon of Snoopy etched into the glass smiling at me. I felt myself start smiling back instantly!
Ever since I saw the new VW bugs come out, I've been itching to get one. It's totally unrealistic, not in the budget, etc etc...but a girl can dream can't she? I've decided WHEN (I'm an optimist) the book I've written and illustrated gets published, I will buy myself this car and have the main character etched onto the back with the title of the book. teehee!
I played around in photoshop so I have a REAL visual and you just never know, it may very well come true one day. I guess you would call this my Mondo Beyondo dream that Superhero brought up on her blog in the new year.
If you look really close you can see the etching. It's a little girl named "emma felt" and she's waving at you.
Have fun visualizing a dream today. What can it hurt!
I can just see you zipping around town in one of those, Roz!

What are you waiting for? Go take it for a test drive! I can see it now, successful author/illustrator zipping along with her hair blowing in the wind--!

Oh Roz, you should get one! My best friend in the whole world has one. Actually, she has the blue one in the picture. It's called Aquarius Blue, and it's the funnest little thing. We zip all over, and I've even been lucky enough to drive it once or twice. It is a car that makes you smile just looking at it, and giggle like a madwoman when you drive it.

It's a great car, our daughter has one. She loves it. Hmmm, will you call it the the Rozzie Bug Mobile?
Yes and they are crickets, are they in your back yard too? :)
