Picture Book Marathon: Day Twenty-Four

It's my Mum's birthday today. Ages ago, before she and my Dad married, he got Interflora to send her daffodils- her favourite flower. Daffodils are, as you may know, dirt cheap at this time of year. Interflora have a minimum price that you have to pay them. Therefore, in a scene reminiscent of that in Big Fish, he sent her a ton (almost literally) of daffodils. They ran out of vases at my grandparents' house. Therefore, ever since, Dad gets Mum lots of daffs for her birthday. Secretly, I find it very romantic.

So. Happiness. I think, maybe, just pictures of people, happy. Swings. Sitting in a pile on the sofa with their family. Puppies. No great story. Just smiles. Sappy, but good for the soul.

I'm a self-taught graphic designer, trying to work out how to make this thing called work, work. I've also got a degree in Art History and Film Studies, an interest, bordering on obsession with animation, strong views on typography, an enormous recipe file and a well used bible.
