AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: Why not doodle? and more goodies... DATE: 10:18 AM ----- BODY:

Tom has finished the rest of the work on my website. He has put up some of the licensing images on a separate page. The image above is a mock up of some paper plates etc. that I designed. Under the Inspiration section of my website, you can see a the interviews and articles. A new interview was added, Barbara Johansen Newman. Her art is so fun and quirky. She is immensely talented and has really been mentoring myself and quite a few of the artists in my illustration group. I also added a new section! I put up some doodle sheets...I found a great book in London for kids that have doodles on a page that you finish yourself. I love this book, everyone in my family has been using it. It is a great RELAXING exercise in creativity. Download one, doodle away and send it to me! I will be happy to post them and we can see what everyone comes up with! On a final note, I put up a baby image because my son Luke has a new sister. His step mum had a beautiful baby girl Grace Ella this week. We are all so happy! That is who the knit dollie (below) was for, which they loved. I just have to take this moment and appreciate what God can do in your life and relationships. Several years ago I would have never been able to predict how good and rich my relationships could become. In my mind I just couldn't figure it out. Turns out, I didn't have to figure it out! God figured it out for me. And my circumstances didn't change dramatically, all of our hearts have changed. Have hope, God is much bigger than your mind can conceive, just knowing that makes each of my days so darn exciting!
