Will Melany Say 'Yes'?

I contacted a very talented lady yesterday about illustrating my children's poetry book. This is her web site: Simply Clean Digi Scraps

While my husband and my daughter are great at drawing, neither of them draws in a style that suits my needs. Not only that, but they aren't exactly jumping at the chance to provide illustrations. So, last night while I was browsing digital scrapbooking to get some ideas, I came across Melany's site.

This seems like a great solution for my needs and it could really offer an excellent opportunity for Melany. She's extremely gifted and her talent could be put to such great use as an illustrator for childrens' books. It could open a whole new world for her.

Of course, I win, too, as I get beautifully illustrated pages for my poems.

Can you see a group of children sitting on a rug listening to the poems being read, creating the scenes in their minds, then being wowed by Melany's interpretation of the poem, too? The little ones who experience this book will have such a delightful time and the exposure to poetry is so valuable.

Now, all I need is to hear a positive word back from Melany - like YES!

Say a prayer, ok?
