Paint Party Friday.....mmmmmmmmm is for Macaron....French Macarons....

Hi Everyone...

It is Friday and the start of a super long weekend for us....one last hurrah before School starts on Tuesday....so I am celebrating with some French Macarons.....they are so pretty and always make me smile....and I am getting better at baking these too.....It is amazing how many ways you can change this one simple cookie with special fillings and amazing colours....

I am in love with all things Parisian....and a trip to Paris would not be complete without a stroll to Ladurée for a box of these pretties.....I always dream that one day they may contact me to work on some super cool art for their shop! how sweet would that be.....

I am sharing these zero calorie virtual treats with all of you...I am so grateful you visit my blog!

What is your favorite flavor?

I am also sharing these with all of the super talented artists over at Paint Party Friday....a place where you can share what you are painting.....always an inspiration....

Happy Friday Everyone....and Happy Creating!!!

What's on my workspace Wednesday......working digital today....

Hi Everyone....since last week I shared with you all some pen and ink sketches in my Sketchbook....this week I happen to have this cutie on my workspace right now and I am working on some colour variations of this piece....so I thought it was perfect to share what I have on my workspace this Wednesday....

I hope you are all having a super inspiring week filled with all kinds of fun creative projects and I hope that you will all pop back often to see how this latest work unfolds....

My process is pretty simple....I always work with a pencil in my sketchbook....when I create what seems to be to my liking...I then do an ink version of the piece....scan it and then work with Illustrator and Photoshop to clean it all up and make it happy.....Sharing this with everyone over at WOYWW.....a fun place to see what people are working on.....love it!!!

Happy Wednesday Everyone....and Happy Creating!!!

Freebie Mondays ...and the thoughts of school....

Hi Everyone....this week is the last week of Summer Holidays before the children head back to School...so with that in mind I have created a fun little printable for notes you can add to lunches, teacher's notes or just for fun....I always love to leave some notes in our son's lunch bag....so he knows I am thinking about him....

You can head here to download your PDF so you can have it on hand for when you need it....

Happy Monday and Happy Creating Everyone.....

My Sweet Saturdays post ...week 71...a visit to the Elmvale Zoo

Hi Everyone....

Happy Sweet Saturday.....I am sharing some super sweet photos we took at our favorite zoo....There is a small town right outside of Wasaga Beach and they have a zoo called the Elmvale Jungle Zoo....it is a super amazing zoo that is easy to walk through and fun for kids....I have been going there for ages and it has become our little tradition to head there each year to see the animals....so I thought these are super sweet and a perfect share for Sweet Saturdays.....

Hope you are all having a super amazing summer....I am so sad that there is only one week left before school officially starts...wow...The summer looked like it would last forever....but you know what they say..."Time flies when you're having fun" and it sure has....

I  am taking in all the wonder of summer and enjoying every last moment....and with that I am sharing a new Commission I just finished for a super client....You may have seen These chairs a few times around my blog...well this time I have added a water skier....

What's on my workspace.....

Hi Everyone....

Hope that you are all having a super amazing week....I am in shock as to how fast each week is going....in no time the little ones will all be back at school and before you know it we will feel the crisp cool Autumn air....
I love each and every Season....but am sad that Summer seems to go the fastest.....I guess that quote about "time flies when you're having fun" must be true since I have the most fun all year during the Summer months when I take a little break from picture books and taking on tons of projects...to just enjoy the super simple and fun things with our little munchkin.....

Oops....sorry for getting off track....today is WOYWW....and I am sharing some character roughs I am working on for one of my new books!!! I have three books in the works and I am enjoying each and every moment of working on them.....

I am sharing these with all of the super talented people who share their workspaces and all of my amazing blog friends....thank you all for being here.....

Happy Wednesday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!
