OOps...Forgot to let you all know that I've been featured in a lovely article on the Etsy (MIDS) Miniatures In Dollhouse Scale Team's blog. Go now and have a look-see! http://teammids.blogspot.com CHEERS! WOOHOO!

Merry Christmas!

May my little painted angels watch over you in this sacred season. Here's wishing all of my readers a very Merry Christmas and a most prosperous New Year! Today I'm leaving for home. (FL panhandle area) All of my kids and grands will be together for Christmas and I think you can't get a better gift than that. Am hoping to get a grand group picture of us all as this will be a rare occasion. These days everyone has been all over the country from California to Nebraska to Florida. Everyone is going to be home at the same time. I can't wait! I need to spend some time with each one, stock up on hugs and kisses, and good grief I need to bite some babies!!!

Have a great holiday everyone. I will most likely not be posting again until I return after the first of the year. Big hugs, kisses and smiles across the miles to all.

Contest Win! WooHoo!

Back in November, Etsy was one of the sponsors of a Halloween contest offered at Instructables.com. I entered. WooHoo! I was a third place winner with my Haunted Whimsy House listed in my WonderWorks shop.

Well, it was such a deal that I actually forgot I had entered. }smile{ So, when the announcement email came I thought I had received spam on Etsy which is rare and uncommon unless it's by new members that don't know the rules.

Okay, here's the question of the century. Why does Etsy offer contests for members to enter and then drop the ball and not make any site announcements when the contests end and have member winners? I could surely use the exposure as I'm sure many other members could as well.

Anyway, at least I did win an Instructables t-shirt, patch and stickers. And, my tiny haunted house is featured way down the list on their site. Yeeha! I think my grandboys will get a hoot out of the little robot stuff.

Pumpkin Mouse Whimsy House

Announcing "Pumpkin Mouse Whimsy House" the latest addition to my "Whimsy Gingerbread House Series." As promised here's the first listing with my new camera. Although it's almost a little late, (actually it's great for any miniature collector's season) I'm thrilled that I can finally photograph and list it for sale.

There are currently four houses in the series that have been released so far. Click to see them all.

Included!

Awwwwsome! Today my art was included in this interesting zebra Treasury on Etsy. Can you find me? My teammate from the Etsy Military Brat Team
"SockMonkeyGreetings" is the curator of this Treasury. (click on name to see her shop)

Did you find "Little Zeb" my painted stone? Just had to feature this treasury because first, I loved the arrangement and zebras, plus, I hadn't shown my painted rocks on this blog!

"Killing two zebras on one stone!" (lol...I just crack myself up!)

Fondant Artisans Arise

Most people drive to work in the mornings. Those, such as myself, who are internet artisans arise, go for the coffee, and begin their day online. We drive computers and cameras to be able to stock the virtual shelves in our shops! See this photo example.

These gourmet edible sculptured "Assorted Beauties," are now listed in my Visualicious Shop. They make an excellent gift for those who are hard to shop for or anyone you want to impress with your (ahem)... good taste!

Anyway, I have been fairly anxious lately because I had over-used my camera borrowing power, and could no longer impose on my neighbors and friends. I haven't had the ability to feature my latest holiday inspired designs for this year yet, and it's been driving me crazy.

GREAT NEWS! My new camera arrived on Friday. Took some test pics yesterday and am excited about finally being able to get my 2008 Door Mouse Ornaments, my Gingerbread Bounty House, the Whimsey Pumpkin Mouse House and a couple of other works into a shop and available for sale. This is on my agenda for the coming week. So, be looking for new photos.

Accepted!

LolliShops is a juried, online selling venue for talented artists, collectors of vintage and art supply vendors. Don't know how it all works yet, as the site has not formally opened, but looks like it'll be super cute and fun. Right up my frou-frou alley for sure. My SceneScapes and Whimsy Houses should fit right in. Nothing like a little more excitement.

Featured!

Take a look at this blog where I was honored to be a featured Etsy artist today. KrisKroppin has a lovely blog. In fact it's where I found the new site with the blog backgrounds. I'm not tellin' what item was featured; you'll have to go see for yourself. But, I will give a hint that it's listed in WonderWorks! :o)
