Rockin' Girl Blogger Award

My darling friend Judy kindly bestowed this honor upon me. As I know what Judy has shared with me about this award I share it with you..

Roberta Ferguson at Blogging Made Devilishly Simple created this awesome award. The idea is to pass the award on to five deserving blogging sisters, building some community as we go.

I am amazed by how much AWESOME and INCREDIBLE talent there is in the blogging world. To choose five is a tough one. I am honored to have the visitors I do and I am equally honored to visit those blogs which share such a peek into other's artwork and lives. So without further ado here is my list of Rockin' Girl Bloggers.

1. Tricia

2. Marilyn

3. Michelle

4.Lelainia

5. Izabella

Pass it on ladies.

XO for now!

Somerset Home Cover

Somerset Home will hit the newsstands on August 1st and it is a definite must have. Amanda Belle Nolan and the wonderful team of talented people have put together a gem filled with incredible talent  that is not to be missed. Full of lovely ideas and inspiration it is truly a beautiful publication.

I am so honored to once again have my artwork appear on the cover of a Stampington Publication as well as an article within the publication. Two covers in one year is amazing to me and so exciting at the same time.

I definitely walk the line when talking about my accomplishments. It makes me a bit uneasy if you will.  However, I must say this success is all the more important to me as within the pages is an article I have written which contains artwork featuring my Gram who passed away last August. What a tribute to a woman who tirelessly championed me and loved us all so unconditionally throughout her life.

Seven Random Things About Me

 

I am embarrassed to admit quite some time ago my friend Marie tagged me and it has taken me this long to reply to her tag.....so without further ado 7 random things about me.

1. I am addicted to Starbucks quite honestly I am absolutely in love with Coffee.

2. The most incredible place I have ever visited is Morocco, the scents and colors of the country have remained with me each day since I was there.

3. I have a bit of a ribbon addiction even if it just sits in my old canning jars I love to surround myself with the bits of color and luscious materials.

4. The most important book I have ever read in my life is Night by Elie Wiesel.

5. I was on a game show when I was in my 20's with my Best Friend and we were the big winners....

6. I graduated from the Fashion Institute and then went onto Southern Oregon University (SOSC way back when) with a degree in Art I must say it is pretty cool to actually work in the field I studied, and yes I loved school even today I have been kicking around the idea of taking a few classes.

7. Eloquent and wonderful words are my fav, I do believe I was British in a past life. Tea time should definitely be part of every day.

So there you have it 7 totally random things I just pulled out of my hat.

XO for now! Stay tuned for new art in the not so distant future.

Until Next Week

Until I am back to my computer next week I wish you happy days, joyous moments and lots of FUN!

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

Happy Independence Day

On this day may we all as Americans take a moment to remember those that have made our freedom possible. May it be a day full of joy, fun and reflection for all of us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA
