Gigi and Poppy and a little sweetness

One of my dearest friends daughter had her first baby this week. As her parents rushed to leave work and meet her at the hospital this little man was in no mood to wait around. After a mere 3 hours little Nigel Gregory was born and the new grandparents missed his arrival!
But one look at this little face made it all worthwhile. So, congratulations to mommy and daddy and to Gigi and Poppy!
Instead of a card, I made this paper mache house collage as a welcome home gift. Lucky for me I have a few weeks off and I can come visit soon. I can't wait to meet your beautiful boy!

Cherry Pie Stamps Rock!

I got one of my One World One Heart prizes today. Marina in Florida is an amazing artist who owns Cherry Pie Stamps. She sent me a beautiful piece of original art, one of her art post cards,

AND I got to choose one of her awesome stamps! I picked a close up of Klimt's The Kiss. Go check out her website! She has so many cool images from Klimt, Dali, nudes, collage elements,

you'll love it, I promise! Thanks Marina! I sent off my prizes to my winners on Saturday and I can't wait to hear what they think of them when they arrive.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

The winners have been selected for my OWOH giveaway! I want to thank each person who

made such heartfelt, encouraging comments to my son, Jamison. I appreciate the warm, supportive sentiments about my art,too. I hope some of you will come and visit me often!
