Thank you :o) When I first saw your very talented journal sketches and illustrations my first thought was that they would make for a wonderful children's book! You have such an illustrative quality about your drawings with so much movement and detail. Yeah, I think once you get hooked on alphabets they are hard to let go! Hopefully you'll find Blurb as inspiring as I did!cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791615736037082257.post-10138535720431311382009-11-16T23:25:23.982-08:002009-11-16T23:25:23.982-08:00Hi Cindy,
Congratulations on the anniversary, look...Hi Cindy,<br />Congratulations on the anniversary, looks like you had a lovely and precious time with family. The alphabet books are marvelous and so much fun too! Thanks for the tip about "blurb", I'm about to hop over and have a look... (I did go through a would be book writer/illustrator period, and do have one or two things sitting here that I have done nothing with). Funny about alphabets, Laura and I sometimes try to send ourselves to sleep by composing alphabets with all sorts of themes. Some letters of the alphabet are a real challenge though and are really amusing to try and work around.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791615736037082257.post-68258740541931098702009-11-16T13:06:53.131-08:002009-11-16T13:06:53.131-08:00Thank you Julia :o) BTW that is a HUGE pet Orb spi...Thank you Julia :o) BTW that is a HUGE pet Orb spider you have!cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791615736037082257.post-3361317488180045842009-11-16T10:19:23.385-08:002009-11-16T10:19:23.385-08:00Cindy, you are amazingly talented in so many ways!...Cindy, you are amazingly talented in so many ways!

It is a long tail tropical green bird. <br /><br />The "X's" in ABC books are historically the toughest. The AK book has "An x-ray exposes the fox's fireweed feast!" and the AMazing book has "The xenosaur explores music on the xylophone." It's a smallish lizard :o)cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791615736037082257.post-16687902993907687532009-11-16T07:45:16.262-08:002009-11-16T07:45:16.262-08:00who knew, what a great idea for a book. dare i ask...who knew, what a great idea for a book. dare i ask what was the animal for "Q"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791615736037082257.post-71100084347359764032009-11-15T19:18:07.584-08:002009-11-15T19:18:07.584-08:00Hi All- thank you for the kind words of support!! ...Hi All- thank you for the kind words of support!!
