Stylish Blogger Award

Thanks Linda for sharing the Stylish Blogger Award with me.
You have always been an inspiration, as an artist and a friend.
To visit Linda's blog just hit on the stylish blogger award off to
the side :)

By accepting this award I am to pass it on to 15 other blogging sites I've discovered, and also tell seven things about myself.
So here goes...

1. I love a good Thunderstorm

2. My favorite sound is a train whistle at night

3. Autumn is the season of my soul

4. I love the meditative state of creating

5. There's nothing better than good soup and homemade bread

6. The sound of a baby having a good belly laugh
7. Cape Cod is my favorite place

There are so many wonderful artists and writers! These blogs are the ones I seem to visit time and again. They have inspired, informed, and shook up my muse! Check them out :)

IF- Dusty

Dear friends of Illustration Friday, I do hope you will forgive my blatant misuse of this site for my own selfish purposes of "hawking my wares". I can honestly say that these favorites of mine have been on the shelf getting "Dusty" for way too long.

So with a little help from IF, I would like to introduce you to them. These are my
Tree People Bookmarks ~Apple Man, Theresa, Bird Man, Lady of the Land, and Mother. (she was my first) Created in color pencil, they measure approximately 7in x 2in.  They are die cut by hand, laminated and die cut by hand again. Please bookmark my site, they are coming soon. I will be selling them $5.00 ea. or 4-for $15.00 plus postage.

and  The Christmas Bunch~

Sweet Pine, Santa, The Lady of Light and Francis 

IF-Chicken

Just messing around in "Paint" I never really use this program, but my choices of software are a bit limited right now. I need to reinstall Photoshop and Illustrator, since our laptop flatlined on us a couple of months ago. We had a new hard drive put in. Thank God for warranties. I usually don't go for the warranty but in this case I'm glad we did!!
