Hello all! I haven't been keeping up with the blog very well, so I thought I would quickly post a friday five.
1. YAY! Finished first round of sketches for the board books I'm working on this summer. I shouldn't hear anything until the middle of next week so I'm going to savor the mental vacation. =o)
I love when I can enjoy the down time instead of worrying over where the next assignment is. Oh wait, I'm not supposed to be doing that anymore. =o)
2. I have an assignment where I'll be doing a lot of b&w line art (more about that later) so I decided it was time to invest in a good wacom tablet. I want to do these digitally. Can't wait to get my new toy!
3. My girls are doing great. Lily is in heat. I need to get her fixed. Just keep putting it off. We've had thunderstorms all week so weeing in the house has resumed. =o/
(1990 Edinburgh, Scotland )
4. Kevin and I celebrated our 19th anniversary this month. I am even more in love with this man now than I was the day we wed. Never imagined it possilbe and thrilled that it's the case. I'm sincerely blessed and I know it.
5.And the biggest news of all (for me at least) is that I had a birthday and turned the big 4 0. I have been dreading this number for years and didn't even want to celebrate but now that I'm here I have to say that I feel pretty darn good about it. I have a life that I can be very proud of. I have my health, a beautiful family that loves me and I'm getting paid to do something I love. Can't get much better than that!
xo to all.
Congratulations on both your anniversary and your birthday Roz! It's great to hear that you're so happy with your life!

Congratulations on your anniversary AND turning 40...both wonderful things! Did you get married in Scotland, or go on honeymoon? Eric and I married in '91 and went to Scotland as a honeymoon!

Happy Anniversary Roz! That is so awesome that you all are even more in love today! I am blessed in this way, too. : )
Congrats on having lots of work...I haven't had hardly any this year but I am hoping it picks up soon.
I love your sketch for the board books. I look forward to hearing more about those. Who are they for?

Thanks, everyone!
Liz, we were living in England at the time and "eloped" to Scotland with my parents and grandmother. My dad was in the military stationed in England and Kevin worked for him. That's how we met. =o)
