Hello Everyone,
I finally caught a little break so that I could come out and play for a second.
It's really busy around here and we are happy about that!
This is a scene from a new book that I wrote and Illustrated called
"Don't Let Auntie Mable Bless the Table"
What happens when Auntie Mable blesses that table??
Havco and a little chaos is what! The guest get a little irritated
and hungry while Auntie Mable says the table grace and that's
all I can tell you right now. It will be in stores for the Thanksgiving
Holidays and is being published by Blue Apple Books.
I'll keep you posted. Have a great weekend!!

The illustration is fantastic, Vanessa, I love it.
We had an "Auntie Mabel" in our family ... oh my did she bless and bless and bless our table. I will be looking for your book!
Oh GEEZ, let me get my sunglasses out. This SPARKLES! I don't know how you do it, but you pack so much pizazz and style into your characters. Their faces say so much with just an upturned chin and a sideways glance. That doggy just CRACKS me up. And I love that guy with the long up-do. And their struts! Oh, man, you really know how to bring it on with your lines and your paintbrush. Maybe the table isn't getting blessed anytime soon, but YOU certainly are. Glad you could come up for air, Miss diVine. Hope you got a good dose of sunny, warm weather. Love you!
Ackh! You are the coolest, coolest dancing ladybug ever!! Never short of ideas, I see?? A mountain of congrats and a HUGE hug to you, V!!! Can't wait to meet Auntie Mable in person... oxx
