"I Want Candy".........

I am the luckiest girl!!

I just have to share with you one of the most amazing things that I have ever won! Last week, I was lucky enough to get to sign up and then even luckier to have my name drawn as the winner for this adorable OOAK candy bucket entitled "I WANT CANDY" from the wonderful and talented Laurie Hardin of Monkey-Cats Studio!! Laurie was kind enough to offer her blog readers a chance to sign up and win one of her amazing pieces during her blog sale. If you haven't seen her work before, then click on the link above to go to her blog.

Isn't he the most adorable little guy that you have ever seen?! Just look at that face!!

And my little granddaughter just couldn't resist giving the little guy a smooch on that chubby little cheek of his!

I can't wait to fill him up with some Halloween treats! I still haven't bought my candy yet!

Ok J.......back away from the Jack-o lantern! LOL

Thank you Laurie for making my day, my week, my month, my year!!!

"Praline Pumpkin Girl" Hang Tag Ornie on Ebay! Ü

I just listed my little hang tag ornie that was published in the Autumn 2010 issue of Prims magazine on ebay! She's one of the most detailed hang tags that I have ever designed and I am so in love with her. She will make the sweetest addition to your Halloween tree or as a little mini picture to your wall.

Just click on any of the pics above to go see her Ebay aucton and make sure to add her to your watch list so she doesn't get away.

Thanks everyone & Happy Halloween!

So Excited to be in the Fall Issue of PRIMS!

I was lucky enough to have two submissions published in the current issue of PRIMS magazine along with my article on the Penny Feather Tree! Which also got a mention of the front cover...A Tribute to Penny McAllister. Penny would be so proud! We all miss her so much!

I hope you'll have time to stop by your local book store and pick up a copy! Or you can simply click on the picture of the front cover to order your copy today! :)

I will be listing the two pieces of mine that were featured in the gallery section on eBay as soon as they return from California next week. Oh how I have missed them!

I am especially proud of my little hang tag/ornie that is published in there. She is so detailed and I think she is one of my best to date! Her picture here just doesn't do her justice.

And the little chunky canvas painting that I submitted was actually for our EHAG Black & White Fright Night Challenge. Instead of listing her....I mailed her out along with my hang tag. And off to Laguna Hills, California and the Stampington & Company they went! My fingers and toes were crossed hoping and praying that they would make the cut and be accepted into this issue. Then several months later.....after my fingers and toes were all cramped up....I got the email saying that my submissions were going to be published along with the Penny Feather Tree story! YEEHAW!!!!

I promise that I'll be back to share their auction links when I have them both listed on ebay. Oh....and thank you for listening to me gloat......hehehe I'm a happy little Halloween camper right now! =D

First Time Published!

I am so excited to share this news! It's a first for me....first time that my art has ever been published! One of my hang tag/ornies is in the Fall Issue of Celebrate365!! (You can order a copy by clicking on the previous link.)

My little hang tag/ornie is one of the items featured on page 20.

This paper hang tag is hand painted in acrylic paints with vintage papers, hand stitched stars, vintage button, real german glass glitter accents and a hand formed rusty wire hanger. It measures 2 1/2" wide by 4 3/4" long and the wire hanger adds another 4". The back is covered with a vintage looking Halloween scrapbooking paper. I have named her "Angelina Luminista" because of those full lips of hers....lol

Here is the gorgeous front cover featuring artwork by the talented Scott Smith of Rucus Studios! What Halloween Fun!

And the back cover features a painting by my friend Joanne Harper and ornaments by some of my favorite artists...including my best friend Joyce Stahl!


I am sooooo honored to be in this magazine and especially this issue! It really and truly means alot to me!
