Lisa Hunt

From an early age Lisa Hunt developed a love for drawing and would stay up scribbling in her sketchbooks at night. Fast forward to the present day, Lisa lives near London and she still is still scribbling and sketching into late hours! When not at her desk, she can usually be found in the local coffee shop eating carrot cake, or on the staircase at home waggling a bit of string at an over-excitable ginger cat.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the memory of my dear mother, Mary Ann. Words cannot express how much you are missed. I long for your physical presence. Christmas has not been the same without you. Your love for the holidays created magical moments in my life. You were everything I needed in a mother. Your strength and bravery inspired me. Your love sustains me. I’m blessed that God chose you for me.

—Author Unknown

To my son, Kaylon, you are talented and creative. You inspire me. I love you.

To my husband, Michael, you believe in me. I love that about you. I love you.
