Here is a piece I finished tonight....Mice on Ice.....I am all about the skating these days and as you can see what you have on your mind...comes out on paper when you're an illustrator.....hope you love these cute little mice and Sammy the Bluebird.....they are all ready for the Holidays.....they are ready to mail their letters to Santa!!!! My IF piece for this week...the theme is mail.....
Cole had his first ever school play and it was so so sweet!!! he played an Angel in the Nativity and recited a sweet little song....It melted my heart as anything with him involved does.....I am so blessed to be a Mom and so blessed to share in these moments that take my breath away....
my heart grows bigger with each new experience with Cole......
I am so grateful each and every day......
Happy Holidays!!!!!
oh and every year I add this link....you will be singing this song all day!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!
and since the song is all about Santa....some photos from our visits with Santa this year....
and one of the biggest Gingerbread cookies ever...lol

Awww... he is so sweet looking. We had our first Christmas Program this year, too. Sadly, the US is getting way too "politically correct" and I doubt any public school would be allowed to show the Nativity Scene. They seem to have forgotten what the reason for this holiday is... Jesus was born!
Your ice skating mice and bird are adorable!
thank you so much!!! we had a blast at the event and it will always be about the Birth of Jesus for us!!!!
Happy holidays!!!!

The mice on ice are just too cute also. Were the kitties chasing them? What a thrill to attend Cole's first play. I was never able to hold my tears back when attending these for my son. They always brought happy tears to my eyes. He is getting way too big!!
