Vintage Halloween styled artwork and Dia de los Muertos art dolls is what comes naturally to me and what I am most passionate about creating.

I am honored to have been published in Art Doll Quarterly, Dolls magazine, Somerset Studio Gallery and Celebrate 365 Magazine. I am also a Physical Therapist and Mama to 15 year old Boy/Girl Twins. My husband is a wonderful man who is very supportive of my art and together with our two doggy fur kids we make one happy, busy family.

New Christmas Ornies for 2013

Hello Everyone! 
Welcome back!
It's almost Christmas time.  Yes, indeed it's just around the corner.  I have been busy in the studio making one of a kind ornies. It's been fun making these ornies while listening to may favorite classic Christmas songs. It just gives me the warm fuzzies! 
One of these ornies will be available on the PFATT Marketplace on the 10th of the month.  The others will be on sale in my ETSY shop beginning Friday night, Dec. 6th. 

Here is a sneak peak of my 2013 Christmas ornies. 

Nothing stops Santa from delivering his Toys. 

Vintage SnowGentleman with his pipe.

Vintage Windy Day Snowman with a Candy Cane.

Elf in the Box.

Santa's Helper. 


All of these are sculpted onto antique German Christmas Tree Candle holders. They are marked Germany and have some rusty, faded paint, old memories kind of charm. 
I hope you have enjoyed this sneak peak and you will join me for the updates

HERE Friday night Dec. 6th---->  https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnabooCreations



Have a wonderful week!

I hope everyone is doing well on this cool Fall evening.  My favorite kind of evening. Well, I have a lot to share tonight so I better get to gettin'.  
I currently have two Halloween ornies on EBAY.  
The first one is a Ghostie that loves to go trick or treating for lollipops.  
He is hoping to go to a good home, with lots of lollipops ; ) 
Please check out his auction HERE (Lollipop Ghost Ornie)

Next up is this sweet little Character...
He is also looking for a good home.  
Both of these auctions are ending on Sunday evening Oct. 21st.
He is dreading the inevitable FALL, maybe you can catch him and save him : )

Lastly, I wanted to share that I will be participating in Ms. Vanessa Valencia's A Fanciful Twist Halloween Blog party! 



YaaY!!! I look forward to this event every year.  
I hope you will stop in for the festivities and to sign up for my Halloween Party Giveaway.
