Taking Off!!

I have my bags packed, and my little portfolio friends in tow...and am taking off for the Big Apple and the SCBWI Winter Conference!  I'm landing a little early to meet with my publisher and spend a little time with some family and friends.  It should be fun (last year's was), and I will be back next week to fill you in. 

Have a great week, everyone--and thanks for all your kind comments while I was MIA these past few weeks!  :) :)  I will definitely be playing catch-up with all your blogs when I get back. 

I've missed you!

Henny's Big Trip

copyright 2012 Elizabeth Rose Stanton

Henny had a great time at the SCBWI Winter Conference in New York. 

She met a lot of nice people and came away thinking that, 

if she can make it there, she can make it anywhere (sorry, I couldn't resist).

 P.S.  Henny and I would like to thank everyone for sending us such good wishes.

Prepare!

The IF topic this week is "Prepare" -- and that's exactly what I have been spending the last couple of weeks doing. I will be attending the SCBWI Winter Conference in New York, and I have been assembling my portfolio--all the while working away on finishing my Sketchbook Project sketchbook.  I will be taking some of these images to New York with me, so I have been scanning and cleaning them up as best I can. The pages are a tad thin, so there is some shadowing going on. You can probably make out a little of "Gator Guy" on the back side of "The End."  And, speaking of "The End"-- I finished!!  So...here's a little more Under the Car Seat Drama...with a Happy Ending.
I've set the stage, so now I am looking forward to what you think--since you guys are so clever and funny with your interpretations!  Please comment on any and all  :)

Big Birdie wonders what Little Birdie finds so interesting.
  Meanwhile, Mr. Stripey Socks launches a few baubles.

Mr. Parrot Pants swoops in for a closer look at Mr. Hudson Bay Blanket,
