💃🏻✨I am beyond this world excited to show you what I’ve been polishing up lately!
No kidding — months of archives digging, broken links fixing, tweaks and adjustments, glitches to no-end and all sorts of things that happen when an idea is back, ready to be reborn through you.✨ {Isn’t it delicious when it hits? 😍}
Here is the thing love, ages ago, back home as a little girl, I actually put in my head that at some point, one day in life, I’d illustrate a book just like the ones I was drooling over.
Those books were my mom’s work around to the fact that she reallydisliked cooking but knew “there’s always a way” {as she’d say} to make things work out for us.
She’d buy {for me and for her}, illustrated cooking books for children.
Why for her? Well, she knew the recipes would be easy to make and she’d be able to tackle them if I couldn’t.
And for me? oh, the illustrations! The deliciousness of getting lost on each detail of each corner and shade and color and nuance of the foods, the utensils, the elves {yes, there were elves in my books…. cooking! 😃🧝🏼}, all so so so good!
Every time she’d pull out those books I KNEW things were about to get real, real FUN!
Us “girls” together, chatting, giggling, squeezing food {HA! Food is meant to be squeezed before eaten 😁 }, having an awesome time making dishes come to live and then….. the continued fun that was my mom’s specialty – creating decorations for the “party”.
Meaning one dish, one cookie platter, one sandwich roll, anything we did in the kitchen, would get a special something something to go with it – painted card labels, toppers, ingredients list, any kind of fun crafty thing that my mom could come up with in a whim.
THAT was her area of expertise actually! She was an artist {have I told you that?}, like making a full time living from it, and that part was second nature to her. I bet she couldn’t wait to wrap up the dishes and cleaning in the kitchen to get to the fun arts & crafts stuff ✂️🔖
Anyway, continuing with my history…..
So as a kid those moments with her and those books really got imprinted on me.
And I told myself I’d illustrate a recipe book for kids but with ALL of it in it – crafts included, the whole shebang!
Welp, guess what Raine? 😃
✨Today I am F-I-N-A-L-L-Y bringing back to you, directly from LimeTreeFruits archives, that children’s cooking little book I promised myself I’d illustrate as a kid!✨
I can’t begin to describe you how delicious it has been to have been revisiting all that goodness in the last few weeks {months actually}, getting everything ready for you again!
I illustrated it years ago, put out for sale on my blog and it was memorable!!!! ✨The very first digital product that I sold✨ AND I felt, nah, I KNEW, from then on that I’d be able to make that online business “thang” work for me! {*tear shed} I still remember the name of the first person who bought it {my very first customer!} and the notification in my email! {* more tears shed}
For real, this darling thing has all sorts of special feels going on for me.
And I can’t WAIT to show you now 😍
I re-did the sales page as well – all is more clear to see and you can actually read it on a phone! 😁 hehe
AND the most fun part!
