Baby Girl Thank You Cards

Just before my maternity leave began, my Kindergartners and teaching partner, Marcy, planned a surprise baby shower to be held at school one morning. I honestly had no idea about the shower...until the day before, when one excited little girl said, "Mrs. Johnson, just so you know - tomorrow is going to be a REALLY good day for you. I can't tell you why, but it's going to be a REALLY good day." Too much fun!

Well, it was a really good day, as sweet Marcy had planned a delightful shower, and each kindergartner gave my baby-to-come a copy of their favorite book. Penelope's own library of childhood classics began, along with a Room 109 original - a book of baby advice written by the children. (Honestly- a hilarious book full of kindergarten advice and illustrations.)

I was touched by the shower, and, as always, chose to make my own thank you cards from Mooka.Ink to those thoughtful kindergartners of Room 109. Oh how I'll miss them next year...

My Little Logo..

All these years I have been drawing the same little baby face for the Logo of Mooka.Ink. Who knew that some day I would have a baby of my own with the same rosy cheeks, cheerful grin, and spiked hair that I have been illustrating all this time?! Kind of funny, I think, that my little Penelope Rae would be just like the baby in my imagination - only better!

Since March, I have been on "Maternity Leave" from this and haven't been working on very many new things for Mooka.Ink. I have been busy with lots in my life - especially with Penelope! However, we just moved and I did get a new 'art room'! Once all my paints and prints are set up, I will all ready to start taking more orders and creating more for Mooka.Ink.

Start thinking of what you'd like to order for your little one!
