I may have mentioned this in the past but my wife’s nickname for me is squirrel. It’s because I am so anal. I constantly clean the house and arrange everything just so. It would make anyone nuts. She calls what I do, “squirrel activity”. So I did this little drawing for her. The stamps on there are from Mattias Adolfsson. I bought a print from him and those were the stamps on the cardboard tube. I loved them so much that I steamed them off. Then I spray glued them on to my drawing. Believe it or not there is a group I belong to on flickr that is called, squirrles. People post photographs of squirrels that they've taken. I think I’m the only one posting drawings. I also want to thank everyone for linking me. I'm up to 96 links from blogs now. I'll be breaking the hundred mark soon. I especially want to thank Susan Henderson. Her google power is awesome.

This is a great squirrel drawing Tommy. I love the green bkgd. I totally relate to your compulsive house straightening. I know I've gotten under a few skins in my home. And why I ask you? Isn't it better than trashing the place for others to pick up? I cracked up at #13. :D
Doesn't the squirrel ever site down and watch a little tv? All work and no play makes a dull squirrel. Love this! I did something similar on my page where my dog wrote a his daily diary. Now, i wish I would have done a sketch instead of a photo. Nice work.
I guess there is a point where being orderly becomes just plain obsessive compulsive. I feel I am on the sane side of the line, but I do like to alphabetise CDs, check that there are no doubled-up songs on my iPod etc. Is that so wrong???
The illustration has a warm hand drawn quality, I hope your wife appreciated it.
