First Official Friday Update

Lil' Miss Cherry Picker

Do-se-do

Birdie Sisters

Unfortunately the little cutie bugs didn't quite make it to the First official Friday update, but be sure to look for them in the next update. I am super excited about putting all of these in my shop. All of the above work are originals by me. Each piece is made with lots of TLC. I am in the process of listing them right now. So you can check them out later this evening. Hope you are all having a most wonderful Friday.

Sick Chickens

My little pumpkins are sick. I am hoping its nothing more than the sniffle kind. I will still be updating the shop on Friday, however it might take me a bit of time. The kiddo's needed a LOT of lap time today. I am excited to put all that I have been working on in their. Due to all the craziness over the last few days I am postponing my giveaway. I plan on having one in December for sure. 

Thanks for all your lovely comments on the new art. It is always fun to open up my blog throughout the day and see that you have dropped by to say hello.

Cutie Bugs in Progress

I wanted to start my cutie bugs the other day, however I was having paper troubles. The background paper for the frames I have were just too small. I needed a background paper that had the same feel of scrapbook paper so it wouldn't spoil the flow of the image. When I was at Michael's last night, I picked up some of Martha Stewart's lovely 18"x 18" card stock scrapbook paper. It is perfect. Since I am working on two illustrations at a time I will forgive myself for not finishing tonight. These will be the last little guys I post in the upcoming Friday shop update. 

We will be heading down to San Diego for Thanksgiving this weekend. I couldn't be more excited. I can hardly wait to see my sweetheart. Although things have run so smoothly since Dean left (he's been working in San Diego for almost the past two weeks) I am missing that guy! I miss seeing his perfect nose and eating his yummy cooking (my girls miss it also). I miss our conversations and most of all I miss snuggling up with him at night. I just don't sleep as well when Dean is gone. Saturday will be a very sweet reunion indeed. 

An Oldie but a Goodie

Why are these little birdies singing such a happy tune?

Could it be because they are so happy to see the little Birdie Sisters?

I do believe so. 

This is an illustration I did in January of this year. Sometimes I finish an illustration only to find the frame doesn't quite fit the feel of the painting. Thats what happened in the case of this little illustration. I was very happy tonight when I went to get an oval piece of glass from Michaels and I found a perfect frame for the little Birdie Sisters. This will be added to the upcoming Friday update.

I have another illustration I am hoping to get started tonight, however I have to finish up a little project for the JDRF. Look for another illustration soon. I would like to add one more item to Fridays update. So off I go to work my little buns off! If only I actually saw results (in the bun area that is :) 

P.S. Don't forget to go check out Sitting Pretty Studios Newest Giveaway. The handmade cards are just adorable. 

P.S.S. Their is another giveaway at Bloesem Kids. They are giving away a $100 gift certificate to the lovely children's store Chittypulga. If I won I would use it for Christmas presents for my little ones.
