Christmas is coming!

I have a rule at my retail shop - at least one new item a day.. Ok.. sometimes life gets in the way and I have to skip a day, but I do make it most days with a new canvas piece, ornament, a new piece of jewelry, hand painted sign, greeting card.. or something else newly created. So now I'm trying to work my schedule so that I can get one new thing a day onto ETSY... not sure how that's going to work out, especially with the holidays and family events.. but Here's Hoping!

Here are two of my recent additions to my Etsy Shop:

November 19th -
This mini little snowman is the perfect accent piece for many of your holiday decorating projects. Tie him in a ribbon on a gift, nestle him into the branches of your tree, add a jump ring and put him on a necklace, or just simply display in a small arrangement.... the ideas are endless. He's only 2 inches tall, so will fit in a lot of places!

November 19th -


Nothing beats a full house for Christmas. It's great to have all your friends and family around you... and a full house beats all! Express your sentiment on your tree, or makes the perfect gift for a friend... especially a card player.

Ren Faire was a blast! Onward to Lobsterfest!

I had so much fun this past weekend at the Alabama Renaissance Faire in Florence Alabama - this was my first Ren Faire to attend or participate in and I can guarantee it will not be my last! There was so much going on that it was hard to take it all in.

Here are a couple of the pictures I took - you can see more at my facebook page:

This is me, tired and a bit untidy on day 2 - Yes - I am barefoot (and loving it!)



And this is the wizard - he was soooo awesome -

It's all about attitude. Chill? Relax? Not enough... some days you just need to be chillaxing! This is my favorite of everything I've ever painted.. because he has ATTITUDE!

Fall is coming! (despite the hot temps)

Getting ready for fall... will be changing out the displays at the shop this week - and getting more into the art gallery look I'm going for.. Here's a card I painted last week - just a peek at a new line of greeting cards heading your way!




Oh - Had to come back and edit to add this one.... I love it! I think all women need to break this out every once in a while!!!
