Let's peel back these layers!

juliannlaw Here is a closeup of the endpapers in my debut picture book, THE WORKD’S LONGEST SOCK. I work digitally in Adobe Photoshop but the program doesn’t do it all for me! I knit all the pixels by hand! Haha! I do have things I do to help me work quickly and efficiently, though, like using layers. Here you get to see me take off those layers one by one till we are back at nothing but a background. The World's Longest Sock is now available on  Amazon ,  Barnes and Noble ,  Target , or wherever you  buy books !

WT BBQ




Pink flamingos in the front yard? Underwear hanging on the clothes line? But, of course! What could be more appropriate a "send off" for our friends Eric and Kate (see below) who are moving to Ohio than a very Improper, White Trash Barbecue.

Here's hubby after a long, hot few hours at the grill. . . kickin' it.

If we had done a prize for "best dressed," I would have had to given it to Kate. . .


And Kat who has already done justice to the great event in her blog (nice belted leopard top, chica!)

Sophie wins for most photogenic of the evening. . .


This pic of Lance is a little fuzzy but way to good NOT to post. . . and YES, I actually ate that hotdog. Why did I choose the completely black one, you ask? That's what a good hostess does, takes the worst one to leave the only slightly crispy hotdogs for her guests.


Lucy enjoyed the rare moment where we actually LET her make a mess.



A few of the fine dishes on the buffet table.


Macey and Lisa in matching tube tops. . . WOW.


I'm pretty sure Analeis wants to beat me up for taking this photo. . .

And I KNOW her daughter, Lyla, wants to slug me too.



Anyhow, some fun pics from a fun night. . .

That looks like a fun party! I definitely agree with you on Kate being best dressed. That's a pretty intense shirt! I hope you are all doing well. :)
