Illustration Friday – Layer

Amidst all the layers of the garden, the Morning Glories shone with a beauty all their own. Prints of this new piece are available at my Etsy shop.

And the winner is...

Ang! Congratulations - and thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments about what makes you happy. Stay tuned for another giveaway sometime in the spring. I love the digital age, but I did the giveaway pick the old-fashioned way - love that sometimes!




Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Valentine Blessings

I love Valentine's Day, and not just for the normal romantic reasons. For me, it's a reminder to be thankful for all my friends, neighbors and family who are such blessings in my life. My lovely sweet husband, my two beautiful daughters, my parents, all my extended family, and my flock of friends who are all so supportive. Here's a little love for you - freshly finished today.

February Giveaway…Happiness

I just read an article in a magazine about happiness. What it is, what makes you really happy...it was an interesting article that made you really think. Is there anyone who doesn't like feeling happy? I thought about it, and I've posted my top five things.

Leave a post on my blog about five things that make you happy, and I'll enter your name into a drawing for a giveaway that includes one of my new prints, Grandma's Songbird. Also a set of cards and a Live Joyfully necklace.

I'm offering a little bit of happiness at my Etsy shop too - all during February my prints are 20% off. Use Coupon Code FEB2011SPECIAL when you check out! Happy thinking...and here's my top 5.

What Makes You Happy?
• Movie night with my family
• First snowfalls
• Reading a really, good book
• Being able to create every day
• Doing something that makes someone else feel good

Windmill Garden

As I'm looking out the window at ice and snow, this new piece must be my subconcious looking forward to spring! Just finished this one last night called Windmill Garden. It's available on my site, and it's ready to hang (no framing necessary!).

Happy new year!

Hope everyone's holiday was terrific! I'm delighted to be featured in an article on Patch.com! Check it out...and looking forward to my exhibit starting January 14 at Congregation Beth Shalom.
