It’s that time…

What time you ask?  Were you waiting patiently? Have you forgotten already?  It is time to announce the name drawn for the 100th post Giveaway.  Mr. Lovee was being cheeky, so I decided to draw the name myself.  It was sooo much fun!!

Into the giant old chinese basket the names went…

Yippee!  Blue!! Gillian of Indigo Blue!  Congrats lovely girl!!! She keeps a wonderful blog and is ever so nice.  She is a Spa Owner in Canada!!! Hip-Hip Hooray!!!

You girls were so lovely for being supportive and kind. I am all better from my wounds, and I will have a few new paintings in the next post…

Have any of you been over to the OC Register(Orange County), and noticed the wonderful blog called SketchLife?  It is a wonderful blog written by Lisa Mertins. Her sketches are just wonderful.  I love popping in to see the whimsical detail in her illustrations.

She has posted a few pieces of my work in her current blog post.  But, that is not the only reason I am urging you to visit her. Trust me you will LOVE her sketches & her words!  Take a visit

Also, I have been meaning to share this for ages… One of my favorite places, Owly Shadow Puppets.  I ordered a mermaid and I just love her!  Her detail is amazing! You can’t see her eyelashes, but in person, they are wonderful!

    Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog! You asked about Ms. Coco. I found her on ebay, I just did a search for ‘display heads’ (I think that was it). Anyway, lots came up and there she was…there are others and I think I might have to get more. They are such fun to work with…they don’t complain and love my work!
