Merry Christmas
Isaiah 9:6 (King James Version)For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
Big hug to all :)

Terrarium
I finally put together the terrariumI wanted for my studio.
The jar is 8 inches tall by 6 inches wide.
I decorated it with some rocks,
one of my hand painted stones & a bunny
I borrowed from my kids.
I am patiently waiting
for this book to be released

Paint it, pack it, ship it
Having a little shop where I can sell my workhas been such a wonderful experience.
Preparing my prints to be shippedis as fun as making the art itself.
I want to thank each and every one of you
that has taken a little piece of me into their home :)
We'll be going on a little vacation tomorrow.
I plan to continue posting from our destination,
so come back often, I love to have you here!
The shop will be open,
but anything you purchase
between December 3rd till the 10th
will be shipped on Monday the 15th.
If you buy a Tiny book today I will ship it
from the US to ensure you get it before Christmas.
