It's nice to have days that are a little warmer. The Flowers are making their appearances now more.
The daffodils are in bloom. I look forward to each month ahead to many more...day lilies, black eyed susans.

Daffodils are flowers that signify Hope.
The American Cancer Society holds Daffodils days in April. Give to the society and honor someone with hope.

Party Frogs

"Party Frogs" evolved through a brainstorming session. I was trying to come up with a story for which the main character was a frog. My little cousin gave me the idea when she was visiting once. We were sitting on the living room rug and I was asking her what she wanted me to draw. She said "Dr. Frog". I quizedly said, "Dr. Frog"? She said "yes" and laughed because I seemed stumped. I drew her what I thought a Dr. Frog would look like. She loved it. My Uncle, when I told him about it, could only guess she came up with it through her fascination with the froggy items at my mom's house and the many doctors she had to see because she had some medical problems as well as mental problems. She is retarded and to have her come up with such an abstract idea seemed more wonderful than ever. I was inspired by this and wanted to illustrate such a story. I still haven't come up with a story, but I came up with "Party Frogs" image.

"Frogs" are avaliable in card sets, stickers and t-shirts.
