Gillian's drawing

Here's Gillian's drawing she did today-I loved it-its "Mike" from Monsters Inc :)

Got a little time

Just a wee tiny bit of time tonight......so made an ATC. These stamps are from Innovative Stamp Creations. Lots of masking and sponging, and used my wonderful caran d'ache crayons that I love :)

sheer agony

Its been an agonizing 3 days of NO art..........no time whatsoever and I am missing it.
Sick kid, and other various things keeping me away. sigh. Hopefully tomorrow!
My supplies are calling and I have an art exhibit coming up that I have to prepare for! ARGH!!!!!
I have GOT to get working!!!!!! seriously!
Its amazing what just a few days from doing art can do to the muse too..........wahhhhhhhh! I have felt brain dead yesterday and today-maybe because I just feel so tired. Please Muse, come home, come home! I will have to crank up the Mozart tomorrow morning when the kids go to school!LOL

Here's a quick ATC I made tonight using her stamps :)

I just adore her Alice In Wonderland images :)

I have some other really kewl news too but I can't mention it yet-stamping related but you will have to wait until things are finalized :)

I have had a busy day-most of it has been consumed with the dog-he got groomed and had to go to the vet.

Also-Gillian got yet another award! She's doing so well in school and I am just so proud :)

One World, One Heart Giveaway!!

Here is my blog give-away for the One World One Heart event!

It is a blog-wide giveaway event. The original idea behind this was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. Last years event had nearly 100 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.

I am giving away one of my ATCs plus an Art Girlz Creativity pack! I will draw the lucky winner on Feb 13th :)

Comment to this with where you are from and you will be entered :)

Created By Hand Challenge: Black and White

Stamp Show

Wow-what a day! I am tired! I stamped allll day and it was fun! My fingertips are completely black!LOL

I saw some old friends-it was SO great to see some people I had not seen and to meet some new ones as well! Here's a couple of pictures. One of them is me with Mary Gayou and the other is with Desiree. Della and Steve were fun to be around too!:)

Preparation for tomorrow's demo!!

NO time at all today for the art journal.........I am packing and preparing for my demonstration tomorrow at the Riverside CA Stamp Convention where I am working at the I Brake For Stamps booth! If you are in the area and are going to the show,do stop by and say hello!

I have not demoed in just over 5 years so I am a bit nervous........but I think once I get going I will be just fine :) I have been working up some samples to have when I start demoing (so I can have at least something there to show as people stop by!) and have had fun with my babies from Time To Stamp that are so close to my heart :) Although I am very nervous I am excited to be at a convention again-I used to love to talk to everyone! Since I have not done it in so long I almost feel like I have become more shy of people-I am not the same LOL I am sure if Della reads this she will be laughing-she KNOWS I am not shy and Ilike to be silly, but thats around SMALL crowds. Get me in a crowd these days and I shrivel up! But I just hope I will be able to come out of my shell . Della said to just pretend I am at home and play all day and do just as I do at home when I stamp..........so hence, I have to pack alot of stuff!LOL I want to make sure I have all my necessities :)

Anyway, here are some samples to share :)
