Family Keepsake Storybook

I'm offering a nice price for illustrations for those that are writing or have written children's stories.  The price for printing a family keepsake storybook w/cd format is $20.  Check out my website www.ecrucartwheel.com

"Mommy, Do You Think of Me."

Everything is coming along nicely with the illustrations for "Mommy, Do You Think of Me".  I have already finished drawing the illustrations. I'm getting ready to add the coloring to 14 illustrations.  Once the printing is finished. We will save the illustration layout on a disc for future copies to be printed.

Story Illustrations

If you are still interested in illustrating let me know.  I can schedule a time for your illustrations to be done.  (Which, a lot of the stories entered into the contest should)

Charlie, The Lonely Dolphin

I'm also wrapping up the illustrations for "Charlie, The Lonely Dolphin"  Siri Backer is the writer preparing to publish her story about a lonely dolphin finding friendship with a tour boat guide.

Suprise Guest - Speedy Taco Salad

We had a suprise guest this week.  So, I whipped this out of my arsenal of meal recipies.  My mother was a single mother of three and this is one of hers. 

 It fed my husbands, very large friend of 5'7-8", who had 3 plates of it!! He loved it.  He was a big eater and a wonderful guest.

Oh yeah. TACO SALAD! LOVE the pic. Looks so good! That was a staple in our home growing up as well. Yours looks GREAT!

Yummy.  We use the same ingredients, minus the beef.  We use shredded chicken in a can from Costco with the taco seasoning.
