Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
“Swim” said the mama fishie, “Swim if you can”
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

A Surprise in the Mail

brennanclassSometimes things other than bills and junk come in the mail. This week I was pleasantly surprised twice!

First, by this package sent to me by Mrs. Brennan and her class at The Meadows School in Las Vegas.  Mrs. Brennan emailed me and asked if She could use my High Hopes Ant illustration for her class production. Their presentation was about  people who’ve overcome great obstacles to fulfill their dreams.

The production was really cute. The kids did a great job. I know because they also sent me a DVD along with the flier, card and pictures!

Thank you Mrs. Brennan and all your students who made and signed the card!

The second surprise in the mail was from my fellow Doodle Diner,  David Sones. In December he hosted a giveaway over at the Doodle Diner. He gave away one of these prints to those who visited and left a comment…. then he including his Doodle Diner friends as well! David is a  a very gifted artist with a generous heart.

Thank you Pickle Dog!
