Hope everyone is having a nice holiday! With the new year right around the corner, I am feeling optimistic. Why, you may ask? Well, I have won my very first prize!

One the blogs I follow for inspiration is Jill McDonald’s. She is a surface designer that creates art and patterns for Pottery Barn Kids, The Land of Nod and Babies R Us among others. A very talented lady! She recently did a random drawing for her readers to win a children’s book that she illustrated… and, I won (first thing I’ve randomly won. ever.)! Here’s a holiday drawing she created with my little name at the top:

And here are some spreads from the book:

Can’t wait to receive the book and share it with my son Emmett. This fun little contest makes me look forward to next year and all the new work I will be able to share. See you all then!! Thanks for reading my blog!
