Exciting News!

I just wanted to share some exciting news I found out about a couple weeks ago. Two of my spring projects are featured in the 2010 issue of Holidays & Celebrations which is on news stands right now. There's lots of great projects in this issue so be sure to check it out!

Lollishop News

I just received the May/June issue of Somerset Studio magazine and look what I found on the last page!

And there's another ad in the latest issue of Where Women Create, although I haven't seen that one on the newstands around here yet.

Both of these collages are available in My Lollishop right now!

Have a great day!

Remember This?

Quite a while ago I showed you these sneak peeks of a "special project" I was working on with a group of very talented ladies. It was all hush-hush back then (and still is... sort of) but if you click here you can see a little peek of one of the books that we all worked in. We are all over-the-moon with excitement as you can imagine!

My sweet friend Cerri had to be rushed to the hospital for some emergency surgery the other day. She is back home now and on the mend but if you have a minute, please stop by her blog and send her some good wishes to help cheer her up!

Nothing much new around here. I am going through artistic withdrawal lately as I haven't stepped foot inside my art room for quite some time. All my focus has been on wedding details and although much of those have been creative projects, I really miss playing with my papers, trims and ephemera. I am going to have to carve out some time for myself to create something soon. Of course my head is just swimming with ideas and there's been no time to run with any of them. Isn't that always the way? I'd better start writing and sketching those inspirations down in my art journal before they slip through my feeble mind into oblivion!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hey, Don't I Know You?

Yesterday while I was out running errands, I picked up a copy of the new Spring issue of Somerset Life (and Somerset Workshop and Memories too). As I flipped through the pages, I was amazed at how many bloggers I found inside. These are blogs that I visit on a regular basis and feel as if I "know" the artists because we have commented back and forth from time to time. It used to be when I looked at a copy of Someset Studios I would marvel and drool over the beautiful works of art. But the names of the artists were only familiar to me from the magazine iteself. Nowadays, it is a rare occasion when I read any of the Stampington Publications and don't find a blogging friend I "know" featured inside. As the song goes, "The times - they are a changing." To illustrate my point, below are some my favorite artists who are features in the current issue of Someset Life, starting with the cover which features Marilyn Healey's vintage bottle of pixie glitter.

Jenny Holiday - Everyday is a Holiday

Andrea Singarella - Velvet Strawberries

Rebecca Sower

Tammy Gilley - Tammy Gilley Studios

Delila Jamaiel - Sepia Art Studio

Susan Tuttle - Ilka's Attic

I'm in the mood for a GIVEAWAY, so be sure to check back here on Friday for details! Oh and don't forget - tomorrow is Karla and Beth's Bling Your Birdhouse Party. I'll show you the little birdy abodes I've been working on.
