When I started babysitting for the girls Annie & Emily [who I am still with but no longer considered their "sitter" more of just a companion I guess] they were just 7 and 9, they are now 14 and 16! Gosh! Time goes by so fast...anyways, when Emily [the younger] was 8 or so she asked me to draw a snail for her...so I did. :) That sparked something in me - I feel like every artist has a couple little animals or insects that they are consistently drawing/doodling, and since Emily, mine happens to be snails...but just recently I have added a new guy to the family. BED BUGS!!! :[) I find they have gotten a really bad rap in life and for what? They only want to get warm and cozy next to you while sleeping in bed, is that such a crime, do we really need to fault these guys over that? I think not! Poor fellas, someone has gotta look out for them, and I have decided that that someone will be me! ahahaha lol
