2 It's a new day...

I hope everyone had an excellent holiday & an even better new year. Check out a Q&A with yours truly at The Little Red Suitcase, where I was interviewed by the super fabulous Patty!

In other news, I finished another critter for my solo show, "say hello to my little friends," coming up in April at Cafe Estelle.

President Coolidge was Cool With a Capital C

Rebecca, the pet raccoon of President Coolidge, was exceptionally cool. True story.

While we're on the subject of Cafe Estelle, I'd like to mention my main squeeze, Laura Kicey, who will be having the opening of her solo show, "Living Rooms" this Friday. Be sure to join us in the celebration of her awesomeness. Plus, there will be snacks. Just sayin'.

It's a new day...

1 Tis the season to be thankful!

Celestial by Linda Plaisted

I've sold four prints from my Etsy shop this week, which made me do a happy dance all four times, especially since two of those prints were sold to the lovely Linda Plaisted, whose artwork I've admired for quite some time. Her artwork is so magical and always lifts my spirits. It's really nice to know that my bird drawings will be going to such a happy home. Once my wallet is a bit more full, I plan to return the favor and purchase one (or more!) of Linda's gorgeous prints. Hopefully my neon-painted walls will do it justice!

Tis the season to be thankful!

2 Bunnies are looking for love just like the rest of us.

This is a handmade card I just made to send off to Kathy Davis Studios, a local greeting card design group (and yes, that's mistletoe headgear he's wearing). If I wasn't already taken, I'd totally smooch this little guy under the mistletoe. Speaking of bunnies, our rabbit Willie Nelson is on antibiotics for a foot injury and I have to give him oral meds twice a day. He lucked out with some kind of fruit-flavored medication and gets so excited to be cradled and have medicine time, it's so redonkulousy cute. Now that I'm married, I think my maternal instincts are supposed to kick in, but I just want to foster bunnies forever and leave the dirty diapered babies for someone else to clean up after hehe. That probably makes me a bad person, but if loving bunnies is bad, I don't want to be good!

3 Christmas Time Is Here

I couldn't resist the Mrs. Claws costume at PetSmart, especially since it was half off.


That is one sassy lady.


Betty White hates having her photo taken, but I do it anyway.


Our Martha Stewart Christmas tree, with all of the wrapped goodies underneath.

I'm so excited for Christmas and eating Holiday Oreos nonstop in front of the fireplace. 11 days left & counting!
