Do you laugh everyday? Because you should — it’s good for you and it’s what I do every day. It’s not that hard when I have two furry silly dogs!
I’m very lucky indeed.
Happy Monday everybody!

I’m feeling a little under the weather (which explained my blogging absence on Friday), but I did manage to sneak in a short post on my Pikaland Artist Bootcamp co-creator and teacher Jamie Shelman’s new venture called Chick Likes Meatballs. You see, little chick likes stories and Jamie’s inviting people to send in images of your favorite children’s books — plus the reason why you picked it — to share with him.
I’m the first one up and the book I chose was Ruth Krauss’ I Can Fly, illustrated my Mary Blair. You can read my whole entry on the Chick Likes Meatballs blog!
{Thanks for the invite Jamie!}
