One Itchy Cobra

Here's something I've been working on for Stories For Children. Sorry I haven't been posting as much lately. My family's schedule is out of wack and, when it's gone, a lot of my motivation of goes out the window. Once my husband starts working again things should fall into place . . . until we move, that is . . . and then, of course, our baby (who will be another boy!) will probably add a little ripple . . . I'll do my best and hope you'll all be forgiving of my shortcomings. I really do appreciate all of you who take the time to visit my blog, and especially to those of you who take the time to post something. Thanks!

IF: Missing (or just hidden?)

OK, so maybe I'm stretching the theme, but I've been working on this illustration off and on for a while (and it still needs some touching up as I look at it scanned in right now . . . but maybe later). Your job, however, is to spot a pencil, a ladle, a tack, a carrot, an ice cream cone, a pear, a cupcake, a banana, a ghost, a heart, a needle, and a turtle so that they won't be missing anymore! (Sorry if the image is a little small.)
