Chicken Squawk!
Just squawking around the chicken coop today!
I’m loving this wafer paper as wings and feathers. So fun!

My excema had gotten so bad that I couldn’t wear shorts or even short sleeve shirts and I would wake up in the middle of the night itching like a dog. It was and sometimes still can be so unpleasant! I’m still in the healing stages. Just last night I introduced orange juice and I had a reaction. 🙁

I have been preoccupied with little goatlings lately, but I wanted to thank Helen Juhasz for nominating me a liebster blog award. She is a fellow illustrator. Check out her blog.
“The Liebster Award is given to loveable blogs with less than 200 followers to recognize worthiness and drive more readers to them…. and hopefully generate higher follower numbers.
As a recipient I need to share 5 “things” about myself. Hmm…
1. I live each day to the fullest and try to remind others to do the same!
2. I love drawing, painting and writing
3. Observing my children is a daily occupation…who knows a book may come out of it!
4. I milk Goats.
5. I’m a half Japanese/half German American with a Texas accent.
So here’s how it works:
* Copy and paste the award on our blog.
* Link back to the blogger who gave us the award.
* Pick our five favorite blogs with less than 200 followers, and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they have received the award.
* Hope that the five blogs chosen will keep spreading the love and pass it on to five more blogs.”
Now, the fun part! I get to pass on this honor to the following 5 nominees:
1. Medea – Check out her blog! She is a Canadian mom raising bilingual children in Japan! She has some great information on literature. She also reviews kit lit that is related to Canada and Japan.
2. Diandra Mae – Is a friend, the IC for Houston SCBWI , and a wonderful Illustrator, blogger and busy mom! She shares and amazing amount of children lit information!
3. Lisa Medway – A fellow professor, friend and writer. Lisa and I met at the SCBWI Conference in LA 2011. She is such a delight!
4. Jerry Bennett – is a friend, the IC for Oklahoma SCBWI and amazing graphic novelist/illustrator. We met through the SCBWI conference in LA 2011. He is so fun to be around. Jerry recently won an award for Oklahoma Comic Creators event.
5. Larry Felder – is a fellow artist and friend who recently moved to Costa Rica. Larry shares how he paints any thing related to the beautiful surroundings he is living in. He also has Felder Gallery in Port Aransas, Texas where you can purchase his original artwork.
Thanks Ya’ll! Have a great Day!
13 baby goats and counting!
Wow, What a week! My mama goats have been so busy. While I went to the Austin Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrator’s Conference in Austin Texas, my little goats have been popping out babies! I am soon going to make a blog dedicated to all things goat.
“Out with the old, in with the new.”
So it is about time that I went through my closet and cleared out some things. It was a sad relief to let it all go but life must go on. I just donated to the San Antonio Train Museum several of my father’s trains. He had collected HO, N, NN and Z scale trains since he was a young boy. I had held on to them for my children and my brother, but video games, computers and internet have all replaced the wonder of these tiny engines. There are still a few people who enjoy these tiny gems and I hope that they will all get a chance to interact with all the toys my father acquired. He will be happy to know that someone is enjoying them instead of them sitting in my closet.
