This year I resolve to appreciate each day of 2009 filled with hope for positive changes as I recognize all the possibilities, and to remember that life is a series of choices. I don't believe so much in resolutions, but I do think of each year in terms of what themes I'd like to focus on. My 2009 goals include becoming more pro-active in all things, to focus on promoting myself for the children's illustration market, and to not forget to enjoy the small stuff like a nice walk along the river.I was watching the New Year's celebrations around the world, and realized that this is the last year that the funny spectacles people will be able to use the 2 zeros in the middle of the year for the eyeglass lenses. I wonder if this makes the manufacturers of novelty specs a bit sad? Oh well, they had a good run.

wow~~~ love your illo!! If I am right, is it snow in your blog? it is very pretty!
This is such a very lovely and happy feeling illustration. I like the muted tones and the textured feeling. I agree that having a theme or focus is more effective than a bunch of resolutions. Happy New Year!
Thanks!
Youngsun Kim- Yes, that's the 'snow effect' I've been seeing on some blogs. I googled, and found an easy button to add it here: http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/12/simple-snow-effect-widget-for-blogger.html
Wonderful illustration for the new year!
Next year also begins 11 years of not-so-cool sounding years. Instead of "oh-one", "oh-two", ... "oh-nine", it will be "ten", "eleven", ... "twenty" etc. Little tid bit of useless info there! :P
Happy New Year!
