Living in a Snowglobe….
Kinda feeling a bit like this bird right about now:) LOL…I have a lot of things going on between a private commission, wrapping up images for the new book “Furbily-Furld”, three paintings for a show in Oklahoma…and then managing my Etsy & iCraft shops….whew!!!! I am so thankful & blessed for each and every one of these opportunities. It keeps me strong and makes me work that much harder. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love for a living.
On that note I was just notified that I was selected to present a workshop at the Compassionate Friends 33rd National Conference, a workshop based on the book I illustrated for “Nikita”s Journey”!!!
TCF National Conferences
“Reflections of Love, Visions of Hope” is the theme of The Compassionate Friends 33rd National Conference which will be held in Arlington Virginia July 2-4, 2010. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City promising a beautiful venue for the 33rd TCF National Conference. Independence Day will not only feature our Walk to Remember, but will include a world-class display of fireworks over the National Mall, visible from Arlington.
What an honor to be able to reach out to others this way and to do it in Mazzy’s memory!!! I just know that Mazzy would be so honored to know her life and spirit is through this book helping others heal. Putting together this workshop is really exciting!!!
I feel like we have been living in a snow globe:)
A look outside my studio window:( The lovely trees are now gone…so sad to see them in all their beautiful glory brought down by the snow and ice. They shall be greatly missed!!! I just hope new ones get planted soon!!!
We were pleasantly surprised when our dear friends showed up outside and plowed out our driveway and sidewalk with their ATV with a plow attachment:) So completely thoughtful!!! We are truly blessed to have such awesome people in our lives:) We were so snowed in that we could not even make out the front door:)
We got a LOT of snow:) All I could think was how much Mazzy would have LOVED it!!!!She loved the snow:)
~Cheers~

So things are in high speed around here!!! I also have a few commissions that I am currently working on and one of them is Laurna’s Painting of her man and his dog….I’m excited to get this paining to her and will be working on it into the night….I will post all the progress photos later on this weekend. I hope to have it done by the end of this weekend and ready to ship out to her.
Also as promised I got my “Metal Canvas” in the mail this week!!! Here are a few pics with my dogs doing a thorough investigation of this foreign canvas:)
The above photo is of Zoe and Amelia looking at the “Metal Canvas” and not sure what to make of it????? You see Amelia’s nose at the far right corner…he he he….
I then got this cute shot of Amelia once she got used to the “object” she was ready for her close up:)
My two furbabies have kept me constant company through all of it!!! They are just the best…So we went on a long walk today with the sunshine and oh what a lovely day it was for a stroll!!! So many trees in bloom and and my Zoe loves to hunt the insects!!!
So after the walk we were all exhausted!!!
I was hunkering down at the embroidery machine when I got this pic of her perking back up after her walk to the sounds of some sort of flying bug that came in with us when the door was open…she then carried on with the hunt….but I just love this photo!!! The expression on her face!!!
~Cheers~
