Happy New Year!

March 6, 2007

Hello Everyone! I guess I’ll start this blog off right, with a little self-promotion!

Recently I was granted the task of illustrating and designing a children’s book. The writer and friend of mine, Rhonda New, wrote the “The Most Important Thing” to help families that are going or have gone through a divorce. I believe it to be a much needed book for this particular day and age. What, with so many families going through this very thing.

I have been told that the book has been entered into the running for the “Caldecott Medal”. From what I hear the Caldecott Medal is the most prestigious American children’s book prize there is. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

I’ve also included a couple of pics from the book and a link to where you can order a copy. Enjoy – S

Here are a couple of pics I took of the blizzard that we had last week in Colorado. Some places reported up to 52” of snow in 48 hrs. Sadly we only received 33” at my house. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
