My daughter Tami's birthday is June 2. I drew her picture last year for her birthday. This year I decided to go way back to her first birthday, and draw her waiting in her highchair for her birthday cake, my Dad had baked for her. It was a 3 layer cake with 1 candle on top. Now, that I recall,this was taken after she was cleaned up and had eaten some of it. We didn't know then that she really didn't like chocolate. She didn't look too amused about it all. :-D!

Wow this is great, they all look like real pictures, you do wonderful work....Deb

Carliss Mora
Artist Reply: Deb, thanks so much on this one! My daughter, she's very "persnicketty" about how she looks, so I really had to take my time. I still see things I should have fixed, but I thought I should quit or mess it up. lol! She liked it so I didn't argue.

WOW! What a gift! This has got to be one of your best, Carliss. Every little detail~ the little dimples for knuckles in her tiny hands, the little whispy culs around her , the eyelette trim on her outfit. BEAUTIFUL. She'll TREASURE it forever!! What a wonderful gift!!

Carliss Mora
Artist Reply: Janet, all you have pointed out, is everything I hoped could be seen. It is a special pencil piece. It took a bit longer, but it was worth it. She likes it, and wants a large print of it. Thanks, so much, and looks like you're having great fun!!!
