Some examples of illustrators submittons for the Mary Poppins Challenge day 3 which was: "Mr Wigg began to laugh again loudly, and as he laughed he went bouncing and bobbing about in the air, with the newspaper rattling in his hand and his spectacles half on and half off his nose."

This makes my heart sing, how I miss post, because of Brexit now impossibly expensive to send anywhere in the world and internally in UK. I used to have so much fun sending things to people and I miss that national and international connection. This wonderful piece is by Isobel Ross.

Second day of #endlessendpapers challenge facilitated and invented by Monty Lee. Day two was to design endpapers for a book of 'Gnomes', here are just a sample of the amazing creativity being produced. Unfortunately for the host and for me our activities working on this challenge has caused instagram to restrict our activity so if your wondering why I do not like or comment for a while, this is why.
