\nHappy winter, everyone! It hardly feels like it here in Tennessee \u2014 it is rather depressingly warm here (depressing, if you look forward to winter and hope for snow, as I do) \u2014 but maybe our temps will drop soon. To celebrate winter, I’m sharing this image today from Phoebe Wahl<\/a><\/strong>. It was 2013 in this post<\/a><\/strong> that she came and visited as an “up-and-coming” illustrator, and since then she’s created some beautiful books. She’s one of my favorite illustrators. <\/p>\n

This piece of art is called Lady Winter<\/em>, and I believe Phoebe made it for a wall calendar back in 2015. I thank her for allowing me to share it here today. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong><\/font> Time off for being with my family, seeing friends, and reading reading reading …<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong><\/font> My wish came true, and I got a theremin<\/a><\/strong> for Christmas! <\/p>\n

3)<\/strong><\/font> My oldest daughter sewed me this chick pea plush<\/a><\/strong>, and my youngest drew me a picture of Captain Bill Adama and President Laura Roslin<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

4)<\/strong><\/font> The girls made a peppermint cheesecake for Christmas day. <\/p>\n

5)<\/strong><\/font> Did I mention I’m reading reading reading?<\/p>\n

6)<\/strong><\/font> Eisha was in town, and we got to hang out \u2014 and<\/em> see a cover band perform Abbey Road<\/em> in its entirety. <\/p>\n

7)<\/strong><\/font> My gift from Eisha was this rubber stamp<\/a><\/strong> that allows you to cover up Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on $20 bills. <\/p>\n

I hope you all have a happy new year, however it is that you like to ring it in!<\/p>\n
