My last sweet Saturday post for 2011.....Sweet Reflections and looking ahead.....

Hi Everyone.....Wow....Today is the last Saturday of 2011.....New Years Eve 2012.....for my Sweet Saturdays post I am sharing this illustration I worked on to reflect on the last year and look into some of the things that I want to accomplish in 2012.....I love the start of a whole new year.....so much to think about and so many possibilities....like a fresh new canvas....a fresh new sketchbook....it is the start of something and a time to focus.....I will be writing up all of my 2012 Business plans and hopes and dreams....and also will work on updating my Vision Dream Board.....I have some things to change and things to add....and it is always nice to focus on our Dreams.....

Wishing you all a wonderful New Years Eve!!! and A Healthy, Happy and Very Prosperous 2012!!!

A few new paintings to share right before we end 2011.....what a wonderful year!



Hi Everyone.....

Again...I can't believe it is Friday already.....and that Christmas was last week....and that a whole new Year is upon us.....I wish time would slow down just a little bit so we don't miss anything.....

Today I finished up my last two watercolour paintings for 2011....wow....what a year for paintings and books and illustrations and fun.....I have learned so much this past year.....and I also hope that I have grown as an artist over the last 365 days.....seems like I was just telling you all about my 2011 business plans and now I have to start planning my 2012 business plans....wow is all I can say.....

These two latest paintings were so much fun to work on....tonight I am bringing this Baby painting to it's new home......I hope they love the way it turned out.....I think this little boy is as cute as can be! and the Pug is another special painting that I will be sharing in my Etsy Shop for Pug Lovers everywhere.

Finally....I am sharing these two paintings with all of my wonderful friends over at Paint Party Friday....it has been a wonderful time with all of you and I hope 2012 brings us more great times.....

Happy Friday and Happy Creating!!!!

It is a little bit late....but you know what they say....better late than never....

Hi Everyone....it finally feels like Christmas!!!! Lastnight the snow started falling and it was the perfect snow....you know the kind, big slow falling flakes that stick to everything.....the trees looked amazing and we couldn't help but head outside even in the dark to participate in some fun Snow Angels ....snowball fights and just plain fun.....

So today I thought I would share a quick little skater girl sketch inspired by lastnight....and some of our photos from our first snowfall!!!! not enough to build our first snowman of the Season....but enough to make everything feel like Christmas......

Happy Day and Happy Creating Everyone!!!!

Today I think I will do something.....I have a date with my sketchbook that I have ignored for a few days....we have a lot to catch up on!!!!

Hugs!!!! from all of us!!!
Christmas Eve was amazing.....we always have our little family traditions.....we head to a park that is all lit up for the Holidays and we walk around and drink hot cocoa....then we feed the ducks and geese by the river and share some great laughs along the way....then we head home for a cozy night of appetizers and our favorite movies for the Holidays....every Christmas Eve we watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and I always cry at the end.....such a great message that we are all important in some way...love it....Then we let Cole open some gifts and play and finally he gets some cookies ready for Santa.......it is a wonderful time of year....and we are so blessed to have our families and friends....Merry Christmas Everyone.....








Cookies for Santa all ready!!!!
I made this plate for Cole's first Christmas and he uses it every year for Santa!!!
Even our dog Minnie feels special during the Holidays.....so cute!!!
