We are Making a Difference

Mags and I are working on another piece of art to help save the animals from the oil slick in the Gulf. It has come to our attention that in just one week Kelly Lights' blog Ripple, http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/ went from having 100 cards to having 600 cards from artists around the world. The blog has raised over $5,000.00 (as of 6/22). Everyone, we are making a difference keep it up! I know you are busy. My full time job is as a limo driver, and Mags is a flower/plant consultant during the day. Plus we do Maggie and Sam's Adventures website! But somehow Mags and I are finding the time to help! We are going to draw another postcard to put on the Ripple website.

Sammy

Thanks for your support and helping us fight this disaster. Kelly said that it takes 3 bottles of Dawn Dish Detergent to wash one bird. One $10 sketch card buys three bottles. Currently everyone has raised enough money to clean roughly 570 birds. Personally Sam and I would like to see these birds out flying again, so please help!

Okay Okay

Man, Jill gives me so many hugs. I sometimes feel like, I am being hugged to death. Don't get me wrong, it is kind of nice. Sometimes it's like a big giant squeezing me at random moments!

Today I was allowed to sit on the dining room table yea!! There were markers, pencils and paper all over the place. Mags and I were trying to come up with a St. Patricks Day Card for March. I do my best thinking on the dining room table.

Sam

I love the color green and beer milk. I have many thoughts for March's Pet of the Month Card. I do my best thinking in a chair at the dining table. Paul sometimes comes over to visit with me. My favorite thing to do is sniff the markers!

New Year Resolutions

This year I am going to tie my humans to the bed when they sleep. This will keep them from leaving us to go on vacation. (Although our neighbors Timea and Neville took really good care of us while they were gone for the Holidays). Timea petted me a lot and let me talk about my humans. I am going to try to exercise more. I am getting a little chunky around the belly area and Maggie is calling me fat. I am limiting myself to one milk or one yogurt a day not both! I will try to be nicer to Maggie (but she brings it on herself most of time)!

That is enough for now!

Sam

I am so glad Jill and Paul are back, Sam was driving me crazy. Whining all the time, chasing and nipping at me, what a pain! My New Year's Resolution is to paint and draw more. Try to escape I mean meander outside. I would also like to read more cat warrior books.

A Rainy Day

Woke up this morning and all the animals were in the canoe again. Jill stopped by and patted my head. She called me a silly kitty (I hate that)!

Sam

It's raining outside, neat! I think I am going to think up of things to draw and paint today.

All About Me

My photo
Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
