We've started watching Christmas movies early this year -- not sure exactly why, other than I'm itching to get into the Christmas mood. I can't really explain it, but the movie Krampus has quickly become one of my new fave Xmas films. It's riveting, is all I can say. #Krampus #ChristmasFilm #Xmas

I'm not a big reader of graphic novels. My one true love seems to be picture books. But this graphic novel of William Golding's Lord of the Flies is amazing. Adapted & illustrated by Aimee De Jongh, this GN is a true gem. Excellent storyboarding & illustration. #GraphicNovel #kidlit #kidlitart

Here's a nice news clip about my favourite bookstore, A Different Drummer in Burlington, On. I grew up in Burlington, and spent a lot of time in this store as a teen. So it was such a wondrous feeling hosting book launches here! DD really supports their local authors. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYJ...

There's been a light dusting of snow throughout the day so I'm posting one of my fox drawings to get into the winter mood. I'm wintering! #Fox #Foxes #Winter #Snow #Wintering #ColouredPencils

I still dream of creating a Christmas picture book. I've done Thanksgiving & Halloween books, which were so much fun. I have two Christmas ideas so far -- both kind of quirky 12 Days of Christmas songs. Too predictable? I know, I know -- just do the work, send it out and pray. #ChristmasBook #kidlit

I'm late to the chat! Great topic. I'm forever thankful for the never-ending support I get from my husband, Guy. He's always encouraging, & he's had to listen to a lot of my insecurities & gripes. Plus he even takes part in some of my presentations! We even wrote a pic book together. #kidlitchat

Meet Uno. He's one of the baby gnomes. Babies in the gnome community are lovingly cared for by their parents but they are also cared for by the great gnome community. Every gnome life matters. Love, care & kindness has always been the gnome way. #Gnome #Gnomes #BabyGnomes #GnomeCommunity

The world is a nightmare right now -- so why am I sketching character studies of gnomes? Because it makes me feel so good. It's good fun creating a whole community of gnomes -- their flaws & fine points, along with their talents and dreams. #Gnomes #Gnome #GnomeLife #GnomeFamily #kidlit #kidlitart

I totally forgot that I had a Flickr account! Found some sketches of authors I hadn't seen in ages. I can't find the original drawings, but here's one of the sketches. Good ol' Peggy, aka Margaret Atwood. A great face to draw, and amazing author to read. #Authors #MargaretAtwood #Face #Portrait #Art
