Royal Ribbits Leaping to the Top...

OK, so I finally went toad-ally green - at least for this design! My sister and wicked good, business partner, just loves our frog designs announcing the birth of royal heirs, so this seemed a natural leap for a growth chart. Creating a pile of crowned, green amphibians, leaping over one another to get to the top of a hoppin high pile just to break the spell - was too much fun!

The spell of course, has to do with kissing a frog and having a prince or princess
magically appear. Of course, at 5 ft high, the magic spell is broken and being all grown, is written by royal decree at the top of this growth chart. Seemed only right that a frog near the top, sounding a trumpet to signify the royal ladder of life has been climbed.

Hope you enjoy these little royal croaks and find them as much fun to look at as I did to draw.

Wings for Growing up, up and away...

OK, so I'm all a flutter about the newest addition to our children's growth charts. In keeping with warmer thoughts and the promise of Spring ~ gardens, flowers, birds, bees and finally those colorful wings of flutter & fancy - butterflies!

This design incorporates a swirling vine up through the center, with flowers growing among it. There are seven butterflies floating, fluttering and flying about, socializing and dancing on air. This fun illustration should please most little girls who enjoy color and chasing butterflies and all the while growing up.

Butterfly feelings...


Butterflies fit right in with flowers and gardens and they're one of the gentlest reminders of childhood and miracles and change. Their colors dance across the air as they flutter among the flowers and are chased by the wind or children playing. No garden decor would be complete without wings, to go along with roots. Hope you enjoy these happy additions to natures garden.
