Bite The Biscuit…

For all the people who have asked for a gender neutral baby card, here you are!
Pink for girls and blue for boys isn't everyone's choice - personally I think a baby is something to celebrate in any colour you like, pink, blue, black, white, rainbows with spots on.....
A joy in any colour! ❤💗🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 ...

🦋 Say hello to Lily! 🦋
Thank you @sarahdoesdesign_ for naming her.
She started off with blonde hair (scroll across to see that) but just felt more like a red head.

Her sentiment simply says, "Hello Beautiful!" She is talking to you! Every time you look at her you will reminded that you are a beautiful soul. ❤

Available now as a limited edition print. Choose from framed or mounted, or maybe you'd like to send her ad a greetings card?

The Bride and Groom have been around for a long time. I'm always delighted when I hear the happy couple liked the card or print.
Then I added 'Mr & Mr' and 'Mrs & Mrs' , again the couples loved them.
But do you what I am asked for time and time again?
A bride with dark hair!
So now whether your bride is blonde or brunette there is a card or print to gift them.

The new print will be online asap! ...

So, today is 9 years since T.F.D......

TFD stands for, That Fateful Day.
Thst was the day I had an accident that changed a lot of things. But, as you know, every cloud has a silver lining.

From this came the decision to concentrate on my art and make it a business. That decision came after using painting as physiotherapy. It wasn't instant, it took a very long time, but it turned out I could still paint and all the practice made me define my style.

I learnt to have patience with myself, to be really determined to not let this stop me doing things.

I also had to practice writing with my left hand. So I started to write a story about Miss Polly whose fingers were bitten off by a crocodile.....

8 years later, that book was written, re- written , edited, illustrated and published!!!!

I am very proud of my book, I'm not sure if would ever have happened with T.F.D.!

There is a link in my bio if you'd like to listen to me reading the first chapter.
