Yes, I did 9 or 10 illustrations for Ladybug, Spider, and Cricket, over the course of 2 or 3 years -- they were so great to work for, super organized, and I always got to illustrate something really fun. Man, I haven't painted in ages now. Wonder if I remember how! Yeah, it is fun getting those copies in the mail!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-606930563241724052008-08-26T23:17:00.000-07:002008-08-26T23:17:00.000-07:00I didn't know you did artwork for children's magaz...I didn't know you did artwork for children's magazines. Your cover was awesome! Have you done work for any other magazines? <BR/><BR/>Every time I see one of my poems illustrated in a magazine, I am amazed.

They're liars.<BR/>If you're looking to loose weight, I read in one magazine that noshing on ice cubes daily allows you to burn an extra 117--or therebouts--calories each day because you body expands energy to melt the frozen water. Plus, the liquid keeps hunger pangs at bay.Mariah Carey claims to have lost 30 pounds in two months by eating ice(no additional diet of excersize), but I don't trust celebrities. I put it to the test for a bit and shed 3 pounds in one week.<BR/>So, I'm curious, what's next for you as far as books go?

Etc.<BR/><BR/>My wife loves the smell of pickles but not the taste, and I have not yet found a way to ask in public if she would, um, care for, no, a whiff of, want to smell ... uh oh, no, would she enjoy the aroma, no wait...<BR/><BR/>Ten thousand cheers for health, writing, and creative marketing! I'm constantly surprised by how hard it is to just get-stuff-done. Inertia, I guess. <BR/><BR/>p.s. my day job is in (shudder) corporate marketing; there are lots of creative options -- drop me a line if you want to talk ideas.S R Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934872671798326776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-5328250244443691392008-08-26T10:05:00.000-07:002008-08-26T10:05:00.000-07:00TWO.

The refrigerator dills are spectacular (if I do say so myself) and I am also waiting on the sweet dills (but they look pretty!).<BR/><BR/>I always find cooking, canning, growing, jarring, etc. the best way to take a break from my writing. It is so much better than sitting down with a bag of chips and a giant, frozen. chocolately something. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for getting your health in order and working on a new book.
