What is winter like down there? I find the summers here where I am on the US east coast to be sometimes unbearable… I live for the winter! I like most things about Australia that I know, but that heat would literally melt me!
I also live for the winter! Although compared to the US, Australian winter is probably very tame! No snow where I live, just nice and cold :)
With a few rare exceptions, including last week, where I live doesn’t see a lot of snow usually either… people do always look at me funny when I’m wearing shorts outside though during the winter.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again… you somehow know how to capture exactly what I need, when I need it. This is beautiful. It goes along with what it happening in my life right now. I am in need of a brain surgery that my doctors will say will help me with my pain disorder, but my insurance has refused to fund because they say medication SHOULD work (5 times and finally said I can’t appeal anymore times). Well medication does NOT work for me. ANYHOW… I started a GoFundMe the other day to fund my own brain surgery, and I have gotten a really great response so far. I finally feel like there is hope again. Your beautiful Giraffe has hit the nail on the head again! Thank you so much!!!! It makes me cry, actually… happy tears! :)
What a wonderful blog! Love love love! I especially love this one because the butterfly is the symbol for fibromyalgia awareness. I am about to shoot a series using them and this post makes me happy 💙
I wish you could have made this one for me at the hospital. I would have smiled as I cried. I have no witty remarks this time. The butterflies have been freed from his/her stomach.
Motivating Giraffe 
Does this mean that spring is right around the corner?
For you, sure! Winter is coming for me :)

Very rare. But they are delicious, aren’t they?
Your drawings are so inspirational. So glad I found you. Giraffes are a soft spot in my heart.
Definitely rare for me but beautiful nevertheless!

I think Penny Redshaw’s giraffes are awesome.

Thanks for following my blog. You draw this yourself? How long does it usually take you to draw one post like this? What type device you use?
I wish you could have made this one for me at the hospital. I would have smiled as I cried. I have no witty remarks this time. The butterflies have been freed from his/her stomach.
