An artist is always speaking to the child in each of us, to our sense of open wonder and creativity. I hope my art will make you smile, laugh, and warm your heart in some way. Janet Skiles Illustration

1. I was just looking around in this site and decided to look at the Christmas pictures.  I noticed one of a puppy in a Christmas stocking and stopped “dead in my tracks”.  It is the picture on the front of a Christmas card that my Mom sent me many years ago.  She died on the 21st of December 1998.  The next Christmas I found that I had that card in a box with other cards I had saved to use to make gift tags.  I put it on the piano which is where I display the cards I receive each year.  Each year I put that card back in the box so that I can put it out again the following year.  I’ve continued to display it each year since she passed away.  It’s as if my Mom sends me a card every year.  That sounds pretty silly and I realize she can’t send me any more cards, but it comforts me to have it there. 

   I never expected to see that exact picture online.  I emailed Janet Skiles.

   Coincidences like this fascinate me.  Thanks!

3. I forgot one more coincidence involved (how could I have forgotten this part?).  My Mom’s name was Janet.  If Janet Skiles replies to my email, I will reply and tell her that part as well.
