Mum Teacup Greeting Card

I looking forward to sowing seeds in the garden as the weather warms up here in Oregon. I enjoy putting a seed in the soil and anticipating it sprouting, there's something miraculous about the process. Without soil and water, a seed remains just a seed. Once it's given the right conditions it comes to life and produces a glorious display a blooms.

In the same way, there a people who who lovingly sow seeds of kindness into the lives of others, namely daycare providers, teachers, nurses, caregivers and friends. In honor of these precious ones, my Mum Teacup Greeting Card was created to express appreciation for their gracious acts. Because of them, life is more beautiful. This card comes with a delicious Raspberry Herbal tea and is available at kimberlyshawgraphics.com

Spring Blossoms!

It's a glorious sight here in the Willamette Valley, the Cherry tree blossoms opened this week! Rows of pink are beautifully contrasted by the blue sky dotted with billowing white clouds. It does my heart good, and I confess, Spring fever has sprung!

My Cheery Birthday Teacup Card celebrates this time of year. It comes with a fragrant Raspberry tea that brews to a luscious pink hue. The inside of the card reads, “Wishing you a bright and cheery birthday.” If your birthday is this month, may all things bright and cheery bless your day.

Mount Angel Gervias Road NE Watercolor

Mount Angel Gervias Road NE. A small watercolor in my watercolor journal. My favorite part of this scene are the mailboxes facing each other. They speak to me of news coming in and out, as well as an indication of neighbors living across the road from each other. Though they are out in the country they aren't isolated.

 

New Path

I’m on a path I’ve never been on before: I’m writing a book. Since I’m trudging through new territory sometimes the journey is exciting and other times I need to stop and chart the course.

I’ve chosen to work somewhat slowly to fully understand what it is I’m actually doing. I have come to appreciate all those wonderful books I’ve enjoyed over the years, now knowing the effort that went into producing a book. This is a sketch for the inside title page. I don’t have a release date but I am continuing to move forward with God’s help, encouragement, and prodding. This book is written at His direction and for His glory, the Author and Finisher of my faith.
