illustration friday: germs

This is my submission for this weeks' illustrationfriday.com theme of "Germs"

When I think of germs I immediately think of cleaning. After I have been sick with a cold I always clean like crazy scrubbing all the germs away!

Have a great and germ free weekend everyone!

I love this color combo--it's so fifties and so fresh at the same time.

Your cleaning lady could be me- everyday! I never get on top of it with my big family. I totally agree with you when it comes to germs. I usually throw my toothbrush out first thing after an illness. I'm crossing my fingers that the flu will miss our house this season too. TFS your collage. It's adorable as always!
