Sending My Love to Lisa Kaus!!!

One of my favorite blogs to check out is www.lisakaus.blogspot.com, she is an adorable artist and her work is so fun as are her little peeks into her home!  Well, towards the end of the year, she was hosting a blog give away, I entered, like I have so many times on so many blogs....and guess what??? I won, not long after that I got an email from Lisa telling me that I had one and a treat filled box arrived at my house!!!  But also, about that time, my camera went on the blink....kept telling me that the card was locked. Well, thankfully I finally sat down and read the manual (funny how that works!!!) to find out what to do.  Did you know that the tiny card that is in your camera has a switch on the side of it??? Well, it does, and it can be switched into a lock position, or unlocked....AMAZING! now the camera is back to working, I need to catch up on so much!!! But the biggest thing is the INCREDIBLE GOODNESS that came in that box to me from Lisa!  How will I ever thank her enough for all of this?

She gave me the Somerset Calendar for 2010, featuring her art doll on the January page-

  She also sent two of her mini prints on plaques with these scrolly wire hangers! TOO CUTE! An adorable thank you note, a notecard of one of her prints...and all this was wrapped up and sent special delivery!!! The calendar has some great images in it, features some incredible artist and even gives the deadlines for submitting art to the Sumerset Publications!  Lisa, it is a real treat to just read your blog and see your work, but to get some of them in the mail, well that was the best thing I have had happen in a long time!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!!  I wish  you a fabulous year in 2010, with much great art to fill it with!!!! I have more images of the pieces that Lisa sent on my personal blog: www.7thststudio.blogspot.com  go check them out in detail!

Time for something new! A Blog GIVEAWAY just for you!!!!

 

Well, I guess you are ready for something else to look at other than my Holiday Family Photos!  It is way past due, what is it already January 27th and almost my favorite month...FEBRUARY!  I love February because it is filled with my favorite colors, because it is a month long celebration of love...and because my birthday falls in that month!!! Yippee!  Another reason to celebrate!!!  In the photo, is a valentine box that I have been working on, just playing with it a little here and adding a little crepe paper there...I am getting it finished so that it can be my BLOG GIVEAWAY for February!  All you have to do is leave a comment on the blog in the next week, that's 7 days...then I will draw a name to win the valentine box!  It would be great to fill with goodies for your special sweetie!  So don't delay, comment today!!! And up your chance to win this fab give away!!!!The winning name will be drawn on February 6th (yep, that is really 9 days away...but I will need time to draw the name and post).  There will be other goodies to be given away this month too!!! I just figure why not share the celebration of my favorite month with all my loyal readers and friends!!! You know, kind of a "share the pink" type of thing to do for my fav few!!! The entire box is about the size of a medium box of Valentine chocolates, I will find my tape measure and give exact dimensions shortly....but in the meantime, let me hear from you......really, it has been way to long and it is ...about time for something new!!!!
