I almost forgot about this post, you guys, since these holiday days are running together. But here I am. Notice the number up above. ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE. I am not even making that up. Next week, the first Sunday of 2011, we’ll all be kickin’ it 200-style. Two hundred weeks of taking some time here at 7-Imp to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. Whew. Pretty neat timing, huh?<\/p>\n
I’m going to forego seven separate kicks this week (by all means, leave your seven kicks, though) and simply say hi and, once again, happy holidays. I’ve been short-and-sweet posting some holiday illustrations this week, one for each day, thanks to some nice illustrators, so if you missed ’em, go have a look. Today’s illustrations are from the one and only Julie Paschkis<\/a><\/strong>, who has graced this blog many a’times, seeing as how I’m a huge fan. <\/p>\n My one big kick right now is that I get to see some dear long-distance friends this week, and that includes Eisha, who’s in town. Yes, seven woots for a girls’ night out, as we plan to hit the town one night this week, have a generous amount of wine (that’s my intention anyway), and catch up. <\/p>\n How about you? Did you kickers have a wonderful holiday? I hope so. Here’s one more image from Julie, and I thank her for sharing her art this morning. <\/p>\n Images copyright \u00a9 2010 by Julie Paschkis.
