I'm entering this in a calender contest for Cloth Paper Scissors 2011 Calender Challenge.  The theme is "make it pretty"  Wish me luck!

my new chair has its first visitors...

magazine...

So, I've been holding my breath and not wanting to jinx myself...but I think it is safe to let the cat out of the bag now...I'm going to be in the Nov-Dec issue of CLOTH PAPER SCISSORS!!!!   I'm sooooooooooooo excited and don't know how I'm going to wait for the issue to come out!!!!

I submitted some work over the summer, and what do you know?  They liked it!!!  The ladies there are sooo nice and sweet and helpful.  I wrote my little article and sent in the artwork that they asked for, and now its just time to wait...Of course this will be the longest couple of months for me, like watching a cake bake in the oven!  But what can I do!?!  Anyway, I hope you will keep an eye open for it.   I couldn't be more excited (can you tell?)

When it hits the stands I will be shouting it to the whole world... "Hey world!!!  Look!!! I'm in a magazine!"  :)

Some final touches!

I have been busy moving into my new studio, but I still have to make time to work on a painting...Above left is my Christmas Angel in progress.  I couldn't get her eyes right, and then when I went to redo them, I liked them better shut.  That solved that problem!

Above right is my little love, Cooper.  He can't wait for all the disruption to be over!





Here's a new Chaise lounge chair that I just bought at Ikea today.  It's for my art studio, cuz everyone complains there is no where to sit...isn't just dreamy?  I love that I can make this room all feminine.
