Description "Olivia, dearest, what would you like the new year to bring you?"
"I donno, daddy. I already have everything I could ever need. I have a new home and I have you, and all thanks to Mr. Basil and Dr. Dawson."
"Yes, indeed... We owe them so many things."
"Daddy? I miss London..."
"Me too, dearest."
"Why did we have to leave, daddy? We could have gone back home!"
"If only we could have..."
"... I didn't even get the chance to make a proper memory."
" Dearest, there shall always be time for you to make a memory. Time is certainly something you don't lack in fac- Ah! Olivia, quickly, make a wish before the clock strikes twelve. You have only ten more seconds!"

'There is always time to make a memory ... if that is true, that that shall be my New Year's Wish: I want to make a memory - a memory of a nice sunny day, with Dr. Dawson reading one of his books, with Mr. Basil playing his violin ... and sunshine and butterflies and ... '

"... 3 ... 2 ..."

'... everybody being happy.'

"...1!"

NOTE: the contest is open only for group watchers

Now concerning the work ... please do not ask where the idea came from. It just did while I was listening to "A Few Good Friends " from Piglet's Big Movie(can't decide if I like the English version or the Romanian one ( [link] ) more). And from there ... my hand picked up a pencil, started doodling, liked said doddle, then scan - Photoshop - changed my mind concerning the general atmosphere a couple of times (finally settled for a dream-like/memory-type one) - and voila!

Making the grass tall was particularly fun (had to keep in mind the fact that they are mice!) And just so you won't start pointing out the fact that a tree can't be that small, I'll say "have you ever looked at the roots of a tree before?". Oh, and the reason leafs can be seen is because I decided to make this particular tree a willow tree

Still ... I BLAME YOU DISNEY!!!

Anywho ~ this is my first time drawing bot Olivia and Dr. Dawson, so GMD fans, be merciful ....

edit 22'th of February 2010: a DD!!! Thank you ever so much

Great, but where is the key word? A book, a sledge, a parrot or a cake?
