It's that time of year again. Did this year fly by or what? Anyway, Christmas card time. Felt like doing something whimsical and magical. Here's the value study. As a child, I used to believe my stuffed animals and dolls moved around while I slept. Come morning, I knew they weren't in the same places. As a mother, I perpetuated the myth by going in to my kids' rooms at night and switching the arrangement slightly, just to keep them wondering. This illustration is a homage to that time. Have to find some words to put in the big blank spot.

Kim, i did exactly the same, my grandfather was the one to make us believe the toys came to life at night, and i loved to carry on the idea for my own children too. Your card is going to be a beauty.
this is quite sweet~
Thank you Ruthie and Tammy.
Ruthie, the neat thing is that my daughters have kept the magic going with their children as well. That's so wonderful that your grandfather began a little legacy. Our very own Toy Story, yes?
Kim, i love that, yes indeed! i can't wait for my very own grandchildren so that i can carry it on! HAve a fab week x
