Cozy Critters - Skunks

The last of my 2018 Cozy Critters designs: Skunks

A whole family of them... taking an "USie"

(that's when you take a group photo, instead of just a SELFie")

This family has spent the morning skating on the pond and for a 

treat, on their way home, they stopped and got some hot beverages: 

Supremo X-Large Coffee (with two milks) for Dad, Large Chamomile 

Tea (bag in) for Mom, and kid-sized Chocolicious Hot Chocolate 

with whipped cream and sprinkles on top for the kits!

Exercise + warm sweaters + hot beverages = perfect way to stay warm in the winter!!

Cozy Critters - Squirrel and Chipmunk

We all know someone who causes us to wonder if 

they seek caffeine out or if caffeine seeks them out.

They always appear to be functioning on hyper speed

and espresso is like their nitrous oxide boost.

And if they also tend to be talkers, well, let's just say, 

you're in for a ride! Their stories are quick and you gotta 

keep up, 'cause when their train leaves the station,

there is no time for dillydallying!

Like a grand maestro, animated hand gestures 

- a dart here, a flourishing sweep there -

punctuate their breakneck adventurous tales! 

And if the hands are not enough, the eyes fill in a whole 

other part of the story,  like a cinematic, musical backdrop! 

Eyes widened during suspenseful, high-flying scenes, 

narrowed for the thought-provoking, solemn scenes, 

and the eyebrows, well, the eyebrows are so constantly 

knitting and parting and capable of such crinkling contortions, 

you'd think they were performing an interpretative 

dance of the story all on their own!

These are the smile-inducing musings of Skittle the squirrel, 

whenever her afternoon coffee break coincides with Chippy's!
