Drawings of some of my favorite things.

I still like these, even though they're kinda old now. I anticipate more Appalachian inspired drawings in the near future.

Lots of Candles and Holidays

Yesterday was my birthday. When I walked into the kitchen in the morning, my seven year old said: "Mom! When did you get taller?"

Lyrics: Today is a great day It´s a day to party Because it´s your birthday And we are celebrating Because it´s your birthday and we are celebrating There will be a big cake And a lot of presents On your birthday along with you we dance On your birthday along with you we dance Color balloons to celebrate That you are getting one year older We all sing to you, to blow out the candles And have a day full of smiles Today it’s a great day It’s a special day We want you to celebrate 1000 times We want you to celebrate 1000 times And always together, we can celebrate The best present is our friendship The best present is our friendship Color balloons to celebrate That you are getting one year older We all to sing, to blow out the candles And have a day full of smiles
