THE FRIDAY FRENZY- Lola Dutch
Every once in a while I come across an illustration that I just fall in love with. This sweet little piece I found a couple of years ago on Etsy, and I don’t know if it’s the green (my favorite color) or the raindrops (I love rain), or the yellow umbrella, or the cutest little…

FRIDAY FRENZY – Chicken Wants A Nap
Sometimes you just need a nap. I’ve needed one of those for roughly the last seventeen years!

FRIDAY FRENZY – Hug Me

FRIDAY FRENZY- My Garden
Ya’ll, I want a flower farm. I’m going to have a flower farm. Big or small, successful or not, I will have a flower farm. Do I know anything about growing flowers? Dirt. Water. Sun. Seed….. What else could I possibly need? You’re rolling your eyes and chuckling at my lack of knowledge aren’t…
GIRAFFE’S BLUE SWEATER
What would you do if you lost your favorite sweater? Would you climb a tree to look for it? How about search an icy berg, or check the den of a Kingly Lion? Me? Oh, that’s easy….I’d bake a cake, duh! Perhaps the yummy smell would lure it back home! What’s all this talk about…
