Just a Snack!

Thanks for checking out my newest creation! :)

"Just a snack!" (For Nicole’s December Sketch Challenge @ SBCH )

Journaling reads:

I asked your Daddy what he thought this fat & happy raccoon was saying to him last summer at Oaklawn Farm Zoo. Dad replied “Oh, he really wanted a snack!” Daddy also said this was the first time he’d ever seen one of the cute critters up & about in the daytime. Usually, when we visited, there were 3 or 4 raccoons snoozing in their treetop perch; just a round pile of fur! Today, we could see this guy’s mask, little hands & nimble fingers. Amazing! ~July 2006

That "A" in "Ali" is pretty much the way I do my "A" when I write my name. How COOL is that?
