Despite Amazon giving me hell in the past few weeks and I was ready to throw the laptop out of the window, I am so glad to have to pushed through! Because the result is heartwarming!
Creative Gems 2 contains stories in which you can dream away and will leave you with a smile on your face.
Books and reading have proved to be a popular theme yet again and I think anyone on WP can relate to the happiness books can bring us.
Kindness and cuteness has also made a lot of appearances.
But what stood out the most to me is the many descriptions of friendships and family.
Especially the stories where one of the characters turned out to be a bit cheeky and the other one more serious or confused, were fun to illustrate 😄
There is just isn’t a dull moment in this book!
Thank you to everyone who collaborated and supported me through this process! I have been quite bad with responding to emails and I apologize for that, but every email has been appreciated a lot!
Creative Gems Volume 2 is now available on Amazon as an ebook and paperback. I will work towards a hardcover, but probably after Christmas!
P.s. Submissions for Creative Gems 3 starts…. Now! 😉 I will give a bit more information about it in the next few weeks, but basically the same rules apply.
Andrea, Children’s Book Illustrator 
Congratulations to everyone involved in the creative process of this project. But especially to you, Andrea, for all your hard work and dedication in making this book a reality. It is such a delight to work with you and I appreciate all of the positive feedback back in participating in my first Creative Gems book. Looking forward to Creative Gems Volume 3, after you have a good rest away from your computer. A Happy Holiday Season and best wishes for 2023.

I enjoy reading your blog because I love your illustrations. I am trying to publish a children’s book about a pug. I might be interested in hiring an illustrator.
