A Little Catch Up

I have to say I have this love/hate affair with blogging! HA! I will post then go for quite sometime without posting again.  But in 2013 I am going to resolve to stop that and be more regular.  I have resolved to that before but fell short of my commitment but not in 2013.
So to catch you up on on the last few weeks of 2012 here are some pics :)  Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  Happy New Year!!

Been Away TOO Long!!

I could not believe that Oct 24th was the last time I had posted something! Ugh!! Time just goes so quickly especially this time of the year.  So what has been happening since Oct 24th??
Oct 27th - attended my first craft show -- never had attended one as a vendor so had little expectations, which was good in this case as the event had minimal to no traffic.  Too bad
Nov 17th - attended my 2nd craft show as a vendor -- slightly more success but only minimally.  I will think long and hard about attending any more.  I think more art/artist driven events will be more beneficial to me.  But met some other great artists/vendors so that was nice to come from it.
Then I got sick - the Sunday before Thanksgiving - today, December 2nd is first day I feel back to "normal" - ugh! That cold virus had a solid 2 wk hold on me.  All while trying to prepare and have Thanksgiving at my house.
Dec 2nd - FInally feeling BETTER! and more myself!! I realized today I have not made any art or worked on any in FAR TOO LONG! So that needs to change :) and fast!

I spent today going to a couple of my favorite blogs - Joanne Sharpe - she is having a FREE 5 Golden Lettering classes right now! today is only day 2 and they are all on her blog you can see them at your leisure.  Sure if FUN stuff & all in GOLDS!! Pretty!! :)

Then I hopped on over to a huge FAV of mine, Donna Downey, only to find her post about Golden mediums and Pan Pastels! Love my Pan Pastels! If you love them like I do then you need to check out this post on their blog - Acrylic Mediums.  Now I want to try the Micaceous Iron Oxide medium! 

Well, hope you have a happy Art/Craft Sunday! and find tons of inspiration along the way!

Custom Order!! Done!!

Finished a custom order for 2 names - Haley and Ellie! Arent those just such cute names!! The names are for a lady's granddaughters! Her lil divas as she calls them!! She wanted their names to be EXTRA shiny! Well I think I did that for her! They were fun to make!! Below is Ellie's - Haley is the same.

1st Craft Show

I am getting a little nervous, anxious, but excited!! I am going to have a table at my first craft show this wknd!!  THere are SO many little things not to forget but I am trying to make a note of everything and get ready.  I do not have lots of expectations other than gain experience and to put my work out there more.  I am blessed to have my niece helping me out so spending quality time with her will be a nice bonus!! :) Well, off to more planning and getting ready!

Her Dress is Taking Shape!

I was apprehensive about getting started on this one since my last class.  Even in class last night it took me awhile to get started.  But once my instructor gave me the right direction it clicked.  I hope to finish much more before my next class! Cant wait!!
