Bear Family

{Watercolor, 2012}

This is a watercolor illustration I did as a gift for some friends that will be having a baby boy very soon! I'm going to put his name on the bunting above them, but I'm posting it without because the name is a secret until he's born. I hope they like it!

Good Things Come in Small Packages

My new niece (by marriage but the family tree is too confusing to delve into) sent me this sweet little package earlier this week. It contained a few of my very favorite things; flowers, accessories and a pretty little touch of patriotism. Her husband is currently serving in the United States Marines and my husband is a Marine Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. (this is only the first of several parallels that seem to link us.) Jenn is a creator, a thrifter, and seems to share a similar sense of humor. I met her for the first time during Christmas because geographical locations make regular visits impossible. I instantly liked her and I think she is such a wonderful addition to the family! Check out her blog: Jenn Camling Blog I think you'll like it! Her spirit and honesty really shines through.
