New Tags in my Etsy Shop

This was fun... I created some new tags from a Marie Antoinette inspired, little illustration I did of a sweet "Marie" Birdcage lady.
With a little birdie resting on her arm, I thought I would add some words of friendship,
Ami Doux - Sweet Friend in French.
I recently saw the Marie Antoinette film with Kirsten Dunst. And while the movie wasn't that great (in my opinion) It certainly was a feast for the eyes! Eye Candy overload for sure. I will watch this one over and over again!!

Faerie Zine Princess & The Pea Hat Swap 2008

I'm a little late getting these pics posted, but here is the hat I received from my swap partner, Debb George (check out her blog- www.debksg.blogspot.com. It is very lovely and is being modeled by my big Teena Flanner (original) bunny. I think it is quite becoming on her, don't you?
Thanks again Debb, You did a great job!

I'm Still Here!

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything. Kind of been out of commission...for a variety of reasons- The latest being, I was in the hospital! It is sort of a long story, but I will condense...

It started with some kind of flu virus that my husband Don and I both came down with (if any of you have ever been sick the same time as your husband...trust me...it is not fun...no one wants to wait on the other etc. etc.). Anyway, then during this time I thought I had a kidney stone and then it was down hill from there and I kept feeling worse. Sooooo.....back to the doctor and after blood work etc. they felt I had some kind of hepatitis and admitted me to the hospital. I was one sick girl. In the hospital they did all kinds of tests and took my vitals (which were pretty good really, I told the Doctor that my vital signs felt better than I did) and couldn't figure out what was going on.... respiratory, kidney, liver, chronns disease flare-up....what?! Well, turns out I had some of all of these at the same time. How about that? I call it the "Perfect Storm"! But....my ending does turn out better than that movie, that's for sure.

To sum it up....after being fed plenty of fluids and antibiotics via I.V. I started getting better and am home now. Yay!
The good thing... I have a much better appreciation for all things. For my husband and my home, for my friends and family and for taking better care of myself. Being in the hospital reminded me that, that's not where I want to be! I also was reminded by God, that he is close by and taking care of me. He is an awesome God! and I am privileged and humbled to belong to Him!

itty bitty robin's egg blue book swap

Here are some of my 31 pages I did for the itty bitty robin's egg blue book swap hosted by Mary Ann of Follow Your Bliss . The swap is a collaboration of 31 artists creating and embellishing 31 pages that will be bound into 31 mini books. Each bound book then will be sent to each individual artist that participated. It has been so much fun being part of this swap and I'm so excited to see our finished project. Will post more pictures then.

ACE of Diamonds!?

I took this little personality test today. It determines what kind of playing card you would be based on your answers. Ace of Diamonds was my result. I don't know, but I do know one thing.... I wish I looked like this little ace of diamonds illustration! You are the ACE of Diamonds!

- You are a lucky person, and you always seem to find yourself surrounded by pretty, shiny things. ( This I like) - You have a knack for success and money though your skills can't really be learned or taught. (I'm self-taught that's for sure) - You shine in a room, and you a have a truly sparkling personality. (Sparkle, Sparkle) - A true extrovert, you always are able to share a witty joke or the latest scandalous gossip. (Not gossip.....information!) - While you do have an eye for bling, you are also quite generous. (Hey, I thought I was selfish! Oh wait a minute, that's what my enemies think) - A lot of wealth and luck comes your way. And you're not afraid to pass it on. (Ok wealth, I'm ready!) - A gamble you should take: Sports betting (That's what I've been doing wrong!) - Your friends would describe you as: Captivating (I have nice friends!) - Your enemies would describe you as: Greedy(Awww, not me! See above...I'm generous) - If you lived in Vegas, you would be: A trophy wife or husband (Now this one makes me laugh!)

What Playing Card Are You?

Happy Easter!
