Daughter Kristi turns 23 this year, and after having moved with her mothers to Carson City, Nevada, she decided to start her life anew.  She joined a gym, made lots of new friends, and reshaped her bod, which has helped instill a confident self image and positive attitude that she had rarely exhibited.  I thought of a lithe puma (stylized) for her card to mirror the progress she has made.

I know…two Koalas in a row…so sue me, haha!  I'm in cute mode, and you can't get too much cuter than a Koala.  This is for my sister 53rd.

My mother is suffering from dementia and has been placed in an assisted living home where she has activities and can be watched over.  Since I live in California and she lives in Idaho, I'm trying to let her  know I'm thinking about her by sending cards with a personal note inside.  My brother runs the chocolate shop my mom and dad started, so this is my attempt to wed some significance to mom's life with some cute to help her smile...a Koala stirring a batch of fondant in the big copper kettle used at the shop, soon to be beaten, cooled, and rolled, then enrobed with luscious chocolate!!

This years Christmas card, and in keeping with the water theme, on the inside I drew aquatic critters, one for each of my daughters with a note and some moola.

Turkey pumpkin pie, ha!  Happy Thanksgiving!!

Doing a gig at Crazy Harry's Bar in Winnetka this weekend for their 3rd year Anniversary party.  Harry is the owner, Jay his manager.  Will use this to advertise the event on social media. 

My sister Shauna reached the half century mark this year and for some reason I wanted to go with something cute.  I settled on a cute owl.
