Guess what I just got in the mail this rainy afternoon and won’t be taking off anytime soon ???
I will give you a clue…it is from one of my most favorite Etsy Shops…Rayvenwood Manor 
The owner of the shop and I have become fast friends as creative minds think alike. “Wink” Wink”…Now we have done trades in the past but this time around it was a very special trade indeed. I am creating a special painting to put in her little sons room which I will post pictures of at a later date.
She in turn has created this beautiful “Memory Bracelet” and necklace in honor of Mazzy!!!
Anastacia has many years experience working with jewelry and so she connected with exactly what I wanted. She listed to my thought’s and memories…took time to really pick out some special charms that would connect with my daughter and symbolize her time here on this earth and special moments that we shared. I mean this charm bracelet is totally loaded!!! Here is a list a list of everything she put into it…

Hello everyone:) I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes for my mother and her surgery. Again thank you!!!!! As for being back in the studio I have been working hard here in the studio and have made good progress on the commissioned piece. I should be finishing this piece soon! Here is a sneak peek of it so far….
I still have some work to do on the hair and skin…some finishing work, but am happy with the way this painting is coming to life.
Yes I am now one year older:) We have been sooo busy that I have been working just about every day and have not had much free time, so it was such a lovely surprise when my hubby made me this beautiful red velvet cake:) He also made me one of my favorite meals from scratch, lasagna and it was so very yummy!!! So was the cake!!! It all started with the doorbell ringing and when I went to the door all I seen was a bunch of balloons and so I opened the door to find my husband holding a pink box and the balloons!!! So sweet:)
I “shared” the balloons with my Mazzy by placing them next to her photograph. I know how much she loved balloons and therefore I love them too. I miss her so much and just know how much she would have enjoyed the cake that daddy made too.
And just what was in the pink box you ask……
“Light Blue” perfume from Dulce & Gabbana:) It has such a light and wonderful sent, I just love it!!!
I have also been working on these little lovelies. A small series that I am working on at the moment.
They are acrylic works on paper. I used Goldens black gesso as a base and then went from there. I am anxious to see how this series come to life:)
Ok everyone I am headed back to the studio for now. Have a wonderful afternoon:)
~Cheers~

Wow…it is already May!!! Time has just flown by like crazy and here I find my myself in the midst of many projects. I find myself wishing for more hours in the day:)
A lot going on this week here in the Studio. I have a commissioned piece that is in it’s final stages. Also a book that is almost finished, just a few more illustrations that I wanted to tweak and it will be done….I also have the Gallery Walk that my art will be in this Friday. I think I can….. I think I can….I think I can….Choo Choo!!! LOL:)
Also working to get our local art guild hopefully up and running with an actual gallery space so that they can have a permanent interface with the public. I will be working on a proposal for our membership to look over in this month meeting. It’s going to be great when we get it up and running…not only for our artists but also for the community!!!
Ok well I have to get back into the studio but I wanted to share with you one of my latest little paintings:) She is called “Little Omie with Butterfly”
I was listening in the studio to some old music that I grew up with hearing my family play, old folk songs and such. There is an old Doc Watson song called “Little Omie Wise” and it’s a tragically sad song but I thought of this Omie and what a beautiful girl she must have been. So i painted and I painted…and when I was done I had this painting. Now I knew the painting was inspired by the music and that it was Omie but decided to ask a few friends what name called to them….and Francesca was one and I thought ok…maybe…but then late last night as I was going over the a re-shoot photos for this piece I decided that it must be named “Little Omie with Butterfly”:)
If you happen to be in the area on Friday and would like to see her up close then come on down to the Spring Gallery Walk in old town Manassas bc she is scheduled to be there for her debut. If not then no worries you can take a look at her online in my Etsy shop and claim her as your very own!!!
~Cheers~
