A of all, I love your brain. Number B, THAT ELEPHANT! *Swoon*

Also, I appreciate that everyone is commenting on the sloth, who is every kind of adorable, but what about the frogs? Because FROGS! Swimming! With the magical elephant! So cute, the illustration.

So clever, the you.

Dear Bella,
I actually shrieked with happiness (it was a little shriek, but a shriek nonetheless) as I scrolled down and saw the elephant. So freaking cute.
Thought you should know.
Your drawings might need warnings.
"Please keep scrolling, but move away from sleeping people and puppies because you might shriek from the sheer cuteness."

OMG!!! Scrolling down to the unexpected elephant was just AWESOME, Bella! What a fun art "experience!" And I LOVE your tribute to Ces & her unique style! (Especially the sloth!!)Being familiar with both of your styles, it was very cool to see! As always, darling characters all around!

Bonjour ma très chère amie,

Je ne suis pas très présente, même pas du tout en ce moment, sur les blogs ! Je suis en mode pause !!
Je suis avec un groupe d'amis que je retrouve chaque année. Nous sommes en Bretagne et sincèrement les promenades sont vraiment incroyables.
Mais je suis très heureuse aujourd'hui d'ouvrir mon ordinateur et d'entrebâiller la porte de ton univers qui me séduit à chaque fois.
Déjà ma chère par ton intermédiaire je voudrais souhaiter un joyeux anniversaire à Ces et lui dire que c'est une coquetterie que de souffler une bougie supplémentaire.

Je suis resté scotchée en admirant tes merveilleuses oeuvres. Il y a tant de poésie, d'humour, de douceur, de grâce et de charme.
Ton talent est immense...

J'A D O R E... ❁ ♡ ❁
Gros bisous à toi.

Oh my gosh! LOL. I was so surprised! Could it be any more adorable. It could not. It COULD. NOT. The frogs! The tiny paper boats! Utterly enchanting.

Hi Bella,

So much sweetness here, love your illustrations and a delight to see your work.
You are so very talented dear friend.

I'd be totally honored if someone did something this adorable for my birthday! Happy Cesebrations to all!

Nice surprise on this one, Bella. That's strorytellin'!
It isn't easy for an elephant to hide, but this one found a new way. Oh yeah, I'm back. glad you never left.

Aah! A home called Wit's End. I think every family lives in such a home one time or another. My dearest Bella Sinclair, I am thinking of you, I have been thinking of you. Well, I think of you everyday just because I do and also, I love you. I hope you have not moved to Wit's End. I hope you are starting your stay at Summer Breeze. Some nights when I am able to stay up past my bedtime of 8PM or 9PM, we will party and talk about sweet nothings. I wish you a lovely Saturday, a safe journey for Epsilon One and no hair tangles for Epsilon Two.

Just fabulous, as always, Bella!! Lovin' the love for dear Ces!! And your ele is fantastico. Many thanks for your super support through the past year of my little sketches, I really appreciate it!! Hope you and your sweet ones are enjoying the summer so far..and really diggin' in to the rest and time together. I'm trying to do more of that and treated us all to a day at the beach and boardwalk yesterday. Much needed! :) Happy Summer dear friend! xoxo

There is something so beautiful and magical about this photo. The words are the icing on the cake. I could see it on a poster or something big. It's so lovely and inspiration.

been a long day at work. they have to keep me for OT. This image is so soothing. love it, Dulce

I learned a long time ago when you are offered something, even if you don't want it, it is best to take it and say thank you. Giving a gift from the heart makes the giver feel good, who are we to take their pleasure away.
Love, love, love your work as always.
