I have so many plans for my career this year. I'm going to really start marketing myself!

Firstly, I have now 3 jobs on at once- Little Tiger book, 'Where's My Teddy?' (yes mice again, but I DO LOVE drawing mice!), a small job for the BBC, and a small job for a well known BRAND!!!! (VERY excited!)

Once these three are nearing publishing I will be able to post new images here!

Secondly, I am possibly going to have an exhibition of artworks, with some prints and cards to sell! Watch this space! (I might even run a competition, any people who would like to see something in print- let me know!!!!)

Well, better get on, lots to do today!

Well, folks, I have just got back from a shopping trip with my hubby. We have bought all the booze, soft drinks, and some of the food for our party on sunday. Hopefully the rain will hold off and our fireworks will go off with a bang rather than a fizzle. I am not very good at hosting large parties, and I am not really sure if I've bought enough- or too much, still, with the people that are coming it should be a laugh. The question is- do I do games for the kids?

I am completely shattered now, should go to bed but feel the need to chill for a bit!

Hi there,

I've been thinking a lot lately - (dangerous I know!) about our attitude towards life in general and how we deal with what happens to us.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. From now on I am going to be positive, work hard and make the most of every day that God has given me. I am not going to forget the things that have happened to me, but I am not going to let them take over my life but use them to make myself a better person.

Love to everyone xx

After going back for a 3rd treatment in just over a month, I am now really starting to dislike the dentists. Apparently my canal was blocked and it took over an hour for it to be sorted- but there are still 2 more canals to clean out and an x-ray to be taken, so yes, that means yet another visit in 2 weeks time. Keeping your mouth wide open for that length of time is no mean feet!

I've just recieved the news that I will be doing another book with Little Tiger once this one is finished.

Today I couldn't get the radio to load up as usual, so loaded up itunes which has been playing Michael Jackson all day. I love this you tube vid of him.

My sister Joy finally does her skydive for charity!

Having been scared of heights for many years but having a friend who has been affected by cancer, Joy joined up with others from the hospital she works at and decided to do a jump for charity. It was cancelled twice due to poor weather but she finally did it last week. Good on you Joy!

Hi all. I am still trying to get my head round this blogging lark, so apologies if my posts are few and far between! I am going to try to update more regularly!

Well, I now have my 'gingerbread man' brief in and getting into full flow on the colour artwork for my next Little Tiger Press title, so am a very busy bee indeed. I also feel like something that the cat has dragged in and full of cold which isn't helping my creative drive, but hey ho, paracetamol and ibuprofen here I come!

I will try to post some piccies soon!
