Guess what came into today??? Yup you guessed it!!! The rest of the books arrived on my front step today!!! Yeah!!! So now comes the task of getting them all lovingly packed and sent to each of you!!!  I also have a surprise bookmark that I am including..we had them made of in honor of the book!!!  I just wanted to all of you guys again for your support!!!  Oh and don’t forget to go to Amazon.com and leave a rave review..lol!!! I’m just so happy that Amazon has picked it up and it will reach even more people who could find comfort and guidance from this creation!!!

We are planning book readings at a few of the local schools. If your local and know of a class that could benefit from a reading of this book we would be more than willing to do so!!!

So what was I doing before all of this excitement at the front door step you ask? Well I was putting the finishing coats on a canvas that traveled with me all the way from southern France and my time there in college!!! It is a very special piece that my high school friend Elaina bought!!! I had it out from my inventory and gave it a good look over…I wanted it to have a final protective coat because it was stretched on bars once I made it back to the states but had not been in any shows since so I thought it needed a bit of love before I sent it on to it’s forever home!!! I was done of beautiful linen canvas and as I worked with it for the last time…I realized just how awesome linen canvas is!!! I think the next round of canvas I get will have to be linen!!! It is so smooth!!! Also it brought back so many memories!!! It was the view from outside my studio there…so many magical moments there in La Coste!!! Sigh…..

Oh I cannot wait to see what it looks like in Elaina’s house!!! I grabbed the extra bubble wrap I needed to send it out to her and am packing it up tight in a box tonight!!! Hubby will take it onto the post office in the AM:)

The pre- orders for Nikita’s Journey are now open!!! Thanks to everyone for all your orders so far!!! Every order counts!!!!

We are also in the process of setting up an online gallery and shop!!!

I’m working steadily on the upcoming exhibit of “If Chairs Could Talk”….I will be posting pictures soon!!!

Last night as I lay in bed I found myself restless….I could not sleep. So I got up a did a few sketches that I thought I would share with you all.

These two are going to be the paintings that I need to do for the Trail of Tears Show in Oklahoma. They just kind of came to me….and I think this is the reason I was not able to sleep…like they were call to me….needing to be let out of my head to escape onto paper. Next they shall move onto my canvas for their forever home….

This was the last sketch of the night….my constant companion…Zoe. She was awoken by me getting up in the wee hours of the morning to sketch. So she decided to curl up in a blanket right beside me and watch until she drifter back to sleep. So I had to draw her all curled up in her dogie dreamland….

Cheers~
