Back in August I had a custom illustration made for our Christmas cards this year. A very talented artist from Boston created our family in a wonderful winter setting based on photos that I sent her via email. As you can see she's drawn Robert and I standing together with Rio beside me, Jimmy is beside Rio (stealing a bauble from the tree), Casper is popping out half way up the tree and Archie and Ben are standing beside Robert with their tails entwined in a heart. I received an 8x10 illustration for framing and the Christmas cards, inside the cards was a printed sentiment in beautiful script that said
Then something happened...we adopted Kip. Sadly Kip would not be included in the illustration but I could hand write his name inside the cards and at least he would be part of the sentiment. I had asked Ann from Zoolatry to make a Christmas header for me using my illustration and when she read on my blog that Kip had been adopted she contacted me and said when we decide on a name she would revise our header to add him in. How kind, at least he would be mentioned and that was something. What I didn't realize at the time is that Ann, using her magic photoshop skills, managed to put Kip into the picture! If you look to the left of my blog header you will see Kip peeking out from behind an evergreen tree!!!! Oh Ann I can't thank you enough. Kip won't be on our cards this year but thanks to your ingenuity and thoughtfulness he is on the blog, I am so happy :-)
PS - Ann made our Christmas wallpaper too!!!

Hi all, I have something really fun to show you today. I recently had Kip's portrait drawn by a wildly talented artist named Jo from Studio Legohead who hails from across the pond. I read about Jo's work a few weeks ago on Catsparella...
