A Special Day

 
January 30.
 
Today is a very special day, and I'd like to take a moment to share.
Today is my moms birthday. 
 
She is one of the most important people in my life. She has always been there for me, through the good times and the bad. Everytime in my life that I have fallen she has been there to pick me up. Everytime that I rejoiced over something she has always been there to share it with me.
 
She is my very best friend.
 
Mom, celebrate your birthday today, and celebrate being happy everyday.

 I love you.

My Little Fitness Cuddlebug

Hello,
How's everyone's week been going so far? Mine's been wonderful. My little guy is feeling 100% better and we have spent the last week running, playing, and watching cartoons. The most adult show that I've watched this week was the Hannah Montana movie while he napped, lol. It was kinda cute, though.

I've been working on four illustrations late at night while my family sleeps. Three are sweet & romantic images geared towards Valentine's Day.

The fourth one (actually the first :) is a special request from a wonderful follower.

This is Lauren. My healthy weight lifting fitness girl. She's beautiful and fit. Feminine and still strong.



Enjoy coloring and crafting with Lauren but please give me, Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties, credit for drawing her.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Hugs,
Anna

Leah

Hi everyone,

I've spent the last several days in a cushy chair, snuggling with my little guy. He hasn't been feeling his best and mama cuddletime was needed. He wanted to be held every moment, day and night. It truly is miserable being a parent and not be able to fix everything, even if it is just little stuff that will quickly run its coarse.

We hardly moved for days, we just sat in the chair watching cartoons and stared out the window wishing the cold weather away. At one point I grabbed my Ipad, thinking I would surf the internet for a bit. Apparently that was not allowed, lol. My little guy picked it up, slid out of the chair, walked as far as he could away from the chair and hid the tablet in a corner. He then walked back to me and climbed in my lap. He snuggled in close and started to go to sleep. It was so cute, I couldn't help but laugh. He wanted my undivided attention and that was that. 

Tonight he's starting to feel better and even though he wanted me right beside him, he (we) started playing with his toys again.

I worked on an illustration here and there over the past week and was able to finish it tonight.

This is Leah. I just love the lining of her coat and her pup. Doesn't she look pretty good, considering I drew and inked her one handed on the arm of a chair, lol. I haven't had a chance to color her yet but I wanted to post her before I started on my next drawing. Which after sitting for days, I have all kinds of ideas for new digis, lol.
