Book GIVEAWAY

Happy October to all! I thought I’d start this very spooky month with a book giveaway. Enter your name to win "Ghoulish Gang". This sweet little book is about a gang of characters who create their own Halloween costumes. It’s a touch & feel book for toddlers that’s out this year. I created the art from cut paper & fabric. Published by Piggy Toes Press.


Enter the draw by sending your name to info@jillmcdonalddesign.com
I’ll draw the name of the winner Wed. October 15th.

Good Luck!

These numbers aren’t plunging

Scary Economic times looming. It’s no longer fun to listen to NPR all day. On that note I thought I’d share some pretty numbers today. They’re bright, bold, optimistic and have strong potential for growth. A good investment! I’m feeling optimistic about the future.
Hope you are too!

Halloween Place Mat available through The Land of Nod

I can't believe it but Halloween is just around the corner.  This became a bit

more evident to me when I saw the Spooky Manor place mat I made for

The Land of Nod up on their site. (www.TheLandofNod.com)

The front can be personalized with the family's last name or with

the name of the child.  

Little goblins & a few critter friends get ready for a night full of ghoulish fun

on the front while the back of the mat has a fun little tossed pumpkin & leaf pattern. Still thinking what my little goblin will be this year.     

*Thanks for the comments on the animal babushkas!  So nice to hear your thoughts.

Animal Babushkas

I've been working on a new version of the babushka doll.

I thought I'd try animal babushkas.  Here are just a few.

Let me know which is your favorite.

It's Officially Fall

So today is the official kick off of fall.

Guess it's time to start chasing leaves.

Happy Autumn!

Walk This Way

Today I thought I’d share a print I recently finished. Knowing that I already have several car prints I wanted to try a different spin on the idea of transportation. I came up with this.

Lovely Day....

The weather outside today is splendid!
A big blue sky, a crisp feel in the air & the surprise of an occasional warm sun ray. Still a few flowers hanging around. I need to remember to enjoy them before they take their long winter nap. This floral border print is fitting for a day like this. Heading out now for some fun in the fresh fall air.
