Packed, Wrapped and Ready for Shipping. My submission for Illustration Friday's "packed" theme. This is a spot illustration from one of my HomeMade calendars.
It was John's birthday this week so we went out to dinner with some wonderful people to celebrate. One of those people was JD Souther and he gave us his new album "If The World Was You", his 1st album in a very long time and it is so great! Here is a picture of me, jd and johnboy :) I leave you with a wonderful tune by JD.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to drop you a note about a change that I am making on my blog.
I am changing the format soon to create a quicker download and I plan am taking my recprical links to it's own page. But I wanted to make the recprical page special - rather then just listing people I thought I would put a little thumb photo or the logo of the site and a brief description. I appreciate your listing of my link on your site so I wanted to see if you were interested in this. If you are interested please send the image you would like to use and a short description to this address. I plan to create that page before I update my main page template. Right now the bare bones link page is at:
http://ascenderrisesabove.com/wordpress/?page_id=4330.
It will be a slow process as I will only be able to work on it a little bit a day.
Let me know if you are interested.
Jacquelyn
well done… leaves a happy feeling…
ReplyDelete"there's no place like home for the holidays" puts me in a happy mood, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwww, sweetie, isn't that thoughtful of you to buy me a house! I'll send you my shipping address right away. :D Honestly, this beauty looks good enough to eat!

ReplyDeleteUh oh, your wee, adorable house is making feel all Christmassy and thus reminding me to get my bum in gear! In addition to your sweet lil houses, I also love the little critters that dwell in and out of them, hee hee.
ReplyDeleteCool photos of you, John and JD Souther. How fun that must have been! You look especially great, love your hair!
