Happy Holidays to you and your families. I wish you a rewarding and successful New Year. I'm thrilled to be part of this talented group. My New Year will start with an exciting and challenging freelance marketing consulting job. I look forward to sharing more- but for now- keep it to this list until it is "official". I look forward to your advice and suggestions as I move forward. Of course- I'm still doing my books.
So- Don't Forget to Stop and Smell the Roses~ Happy 2008- Best Wishes- Maryann
Chris, You inspired me to post a spread from a new book dummy that I too need to find a home for. Hopefully, we will all have great success in 2008. I also wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season.

Which ever holiday it is you celebrate, let's all post our greetings, wishes, photo's etc.
Here's an oldy of mine that I still like.
I have also ALMOST decked all the halls (still need to put up the tree in the living room) and here are the pics to prove it. I love Christmas!!! The photo of the "Christmas Moose" makes him look very innocent but....really, he lies in wait for Don. You see, movement of any kind launches him into a frenzied jig and lively (and loud) rendition of "Jingle Bells". Every night, as Don throws his workboots to the floor, the Moose is signaled. What comes out of Don's mouth is not terribly Festive, as he threatens Moose with not living to see Christmas Day! After over 10 years, it is now a holiday tradition, daddy slams the door, Moose sings, daddy curses..... oh how I love this happy, happy season and the joyful memories made that will last forever:)
You can see how my dinning room is patiently waiting to welcome 15 people this year. Well, it will be cramped but it handled 14 last year so once the other leaf is in the table, we should be good to go.
From me to you, A Merry, Merry!!!!

It's been so long since I posted anything on our blog that I actually forgot my password!
Not a lot new here...
I have been shopping around my dummy with a little more heart then in the past. I really love this little book (I think most of you know how that goes, we create a lot of things but few that we actually LIKE) but am not getting anywhere with it. I know what I should be doing, a real writer would send it out, forget about it and get on with the next project.... of course, I am not a real writer. I get too attached to the character, is that because if you are also the illustrator it's a double edged sword? You fall in love with the writing/story as well as the images? The latest reply was a very sweet email rejection and the dummy returned home in it's recycled paper envolope 3 days later. Sigh, they just keep returning, dummies are very much like grown children. You send them out into the world, they experience failure and then return home, dragging their tail between their legs!!! Another copy of it is still out there somewhere, the older brother....I shall hope this kid fairs better:)
Latest doodle from me.
Cheers,
Chris
