Friday Studio Links!

The Studio of Lisa Woodruff

Today you can check out the studio of children's book illustrator Lisa Woodruff. Lisa has illustrated 18 children's books including Ten on the Sled. Publishers Weekly's ShelfTalker has a great article and tour of her studio. You'll even get to see a sneak peek of the upcoming snowy adventure, If It’s Snowy and You Know It, Clap Your Paws! It looks like another great collaboration with Kim Norman! Just follow this link.

I'm planning on making this a regular fixture for Fridays on this blog. If you see a great studio tour you'd like me to link, just let me know. Or if you have a studio you'd like featured take some photos and I'd be glad to conduct an interview myself and feature you here! Here are a couple of studio tours and interviews I've done in the past. Behind the Snowflakes: Jennifer Thermes and Chris Gall. They too were snow inspired. As part of the 2007 "Blogging for a Cure" auction and fundraiser, the Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast, or 7-Imp blog, featured interviews of all the artists who created snowflakes for the event. Guess who was on that list then too? Yup. Lisa Woodruff.

I enjoy reading The Night Before Christmas, but I often find that I will pick up the newest Debbie Macomber Christmas book. It seems like she has a new Christmas themed one every year!

What a fitting choice. I recently had a neighbor send these amazing photos of our cabin with the first snow of the year. I thought I'd share this winter sight with you all. For a desert dweller it's such a treat. Enjoy!

Our cabin.

Our dog's house.

(She really doesn't stay there. She's an indoor dog.)

Our favorite place to sit. Usually!
