Hot off the press

I literally just found out that I am no longer the Teacher Department Manager! This has really been an answer to a lot of prayer from friends and family. My new department is all things CHRISTMAS! Christmas Tags and Cards mainly. I am super excited. I will have new management. Which will be wonderful. I also have to train the new manager which will be chalenging but it is something I have always wanted to learn. Rejoice with me and thanks for all of the prayers.

What have you done to reach your goal today?

I read this on one of my favorite blogs today. (http://www.holliconger.com) If you know me you know that one day I want to be a full time illustrator. So today I decided to illustrate a Christmas tree and post it for all to see. It is a small thing I can do to reach my goal. The big thing is buying a new computer but that is another story. Here they are... my three Christmas trees.
