Halloween Queen's Castle Bootique Update Tomorrow! Meet Uncle Chaz...

Hello Everyone, 

First of all I want to thank you for being such a wonderful group of supporters.  I have received so many kind words and compliments on the Ghostie ornament I made for the Halloween Queens Big Easterween giveaway that I decided to make another family member in the Ghostie clan.  Meet Uncle Chaz.  He is an old soul but still likes to have young fun! You see, Uncle Chaz loves to chase the ghostie girls and he loves it even more when they chase him back.  Here he is enjoying the chase and having the time of his life..oh umm err...death?!

Uncle Chaz will be for sale on the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique Update June 1st!

"UNCLE CHAZ"

I'm SOOO Excited!!! I've been published in Somerset Studio Gallery!!!

I found out I have been published in a strange sort of way.  You see this week was terribly busy working 10 1/2 hour days and having to drive 40 min to and from work. So when I got home Tues. and got the mail, I just set a magazine aside thinking it was one of my subscriptions.  I was too tired to enjoy it so I thought I'd save it for later.
Well the week just kept getting busier and busier and the magazine got buried under a pile of mail. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I did not get to that pile of mail until today and when I saw that it was not a magazine I subscribe to I was puzzled. On further inspection I saw a note that began with "Congratulations..."  I about fell over, I could not believe that I was published in this magazine!  It's really kind of crazy as I submitted these boxes I made in 2009 over 15 months ago and I had lost hope that they would be considered for publication.  Then, out of the blue, there it is. Needless to say I am still flying high on excitement!
It's interesting to see how much I have grown in 2 years and it's very nice to have a public record of your artistic growth. : )

This magazine will hit the newsstands and Bookstores on June 1st. 

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Mother's Day! and Sneak Peak at PFATT Marketplace offering

This is my Beautiful Mama that I love with all my heart. I wanted to start this post with celebrating all the moms out there on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make to give the best you can to your children. Thank you for loving us no matter what and Thank you for always being so encouraging and our biggest cheerleader.  Even though we never say it enough, we love you more than words can ever express.  Happy Mothers Day!

I also wanted to share a quick picture of my PFATT Marketplace offering. 

 I call them "Trick or Treat" Halloween Dollings (small dolls).  They are 3 1/2 inches tall except the witch, she is 5 inches tall because of her hat.  These are being offered at $10 each or all 5 for $40. 

There is only one set of these one of a kind dollings available and they will be available on a first come first served basis when the PFATT Marketplace updates on May 10th at 10 a.m.

Thank you for stopping in for a visit. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Bootique update just around the corner!

I don't know how this month was for you but to me it flew by.  April was a very busy month with lot's of family and fun.  Fortunately, I still had some creating time.  Here is a peak at my offering this month on the Halloween Queen's Castle Bootique. 

"Telling Ghost Stories"

I hope you will stop by the bootique to find out the full story behind this piece.

The bootique updates May 1st. 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Happy Easter!!!

Wishing you all the best of Easter season's!!!

Happy Birthday Penny and Thank you!

Today would have been Penny McAllister's 59th Birthday and to celebrate her life and the wonderful, caring, encouraging impact she had on the Pfatties, her family and friends.  Many of her family, friends, and Pfatties all over are launching balloons today to celebrate her life.

Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Penny.  I myself have benefitted from her wonderful encouraging wisdom through her influence on the lovely ladies of PFATT.  PFATT is a beautiful, supportive, encouraging group of artists know as the PFATTIES.  I hear of Penny quite often and how proud Penny would have been of those PFATTIES who have recently submitted artwork for publication and those that have been published.  I have heard that Penny was so much fun to be around and how much laughter was shared with Penny.  Ultimately, I have learned about the wonderful person Penny was through them and I too wanted to celebrate Penny and say Thank you for the person you were and the influence you passed on so that artists like myself would be welcome and encouraged with open arms.

So I too felt moved to launch some balloons...

THANK YOU PENNY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENNY

GREAT NEWS FOR ANABOO CREATIONS!!!

Hi everyone! I am super excited to let you all know that I will begin selling on the PFATT Marketplace this month!  It is a HUGE honor to join so many amazingly talented artists!!!  I'd like to share with you my first PFATT marketplace piece.
This piece is very special to me because it is inspired by my nephew Nicholas who I miss very much because he is in California while I am in Illinois.  He has been taking his first steps in the last couple of weeks and I wish I was there to witness it.  So I made this little duckling and titled the piece "FIRST STEPS".  I hope you like it.  He, along with Beatrice Bunny will be available tomorrow on the PFATT MARKETPLACE under Anaboo Creations when the site updates.  Also thought I'd let you know that I will be offering FREE SHIPPING to celebrate my first month on the PFATT Marketplace.

"FIRST STEPS"
