It doesn't look like much, but before I could start my sketches, I had to use sandpaper and gesso for each page in the board book. Then I planned out each page with the words and pictures. Finally, I could start the pages themselves. I still have more to paint, but I wanted to show you what I had so far. I just wish I had a better name for the main character, the owl. I originally thought of Olivia. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I spent last week with my daughter, who just had her second child, a girl! Here is Josie Ann, in one of her Halloween outfits:
She is the sweetest baby who hardly ever cries! (Well, I hear she does at 3am!)
Levi is now 2, here is a picture of him:
How cute are those cheeks!
My other grandson Grant, also had a birthday recently and is now 3! Here he is with his favorite gift!
Is that the happiest face or what!
My other granddaughter, Ashlyn, also had a birthday recently and is now 1.
She is so cute! I'm certainly blessed with 4 wonderful grandchildren!
I hope you will join us this week for Sunday Sketches! (The link is on the right)
Have a wonderful week!

Hmm, let's go for something un-owlish like Lavinia or for some reason the name 'Switch' just popped in my head. Well, whatever you call her, I'm sure she'll have plenty of great stories to tell through your art.
Hello Debbie,
so happy to meet you! I love Jesus too and I am so happy to find yet another blogger who has discovered art like me.
Your art has freshness and honesty and sweetness. And your grandchildren are beautiful. I am a grandma too : )
Your grandchildren are ADORABLE! Your board book also looks like it's on it's way to adorable!
sounds like quite an involved process.

Great book Debbie...Olivia is a great name or even Ollie...that is kind of cute too!
Love the photos of all your grandchildren...you are so very lucky to be blessed with 4!!! I know you are thrilled...
Enjoy each and every minute!
Cheers
What beautiful grandchildren! I'm new to the arting world, too. Starting with some art journals. And learning along the way. Your drawings are very cute! How about Hootie or someone suggested Horatio, maybe Hoo-ratio. I love the name Olivia, but there is a cartoon character on Nick Jr. called Olivia and she's a pig, literally! People may get confused. Can't wait to see your progress on the book!
