HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As from today, 1st of January 2013, I shall resume my daily drawings.

You can see my previous challenge, in 2011, here.

I have decided to resume this challenge, because it is such a beautiful way of documenting life. 

And one of the beauties of life is that in exactly 4 weeks time, Kartoffel is officially expected to enter the world!
