10 years of blogging - let's celebrate!

Happy Monday!

In the craziness of our move, something slipped my mind.... Oct. 27th marked 10 years of blogging for me! That's something to celebrate! During this period of being unsettled (since July) and with most of my supplies packed away, it's been difficult to really blog freely - I've been able to keep up with project assignments, but I haven't been able to do much more. I'm soooo happy to be getting settled and to have all those art supplies where I can get to them now.  So happy!


Another change in my crafty life... I've joined Ellen Hutson's team of affiliates! I'll be linking to her store for the supplies I use that you can find there - she carries such a broad variety of items that I use, so it's a great fit for me. She carries the full line of Inchie Arts supplies, and I even have a product page on her site - you can find these pug stamps there. (As always, affiliate links kick a small commission my way that helps to fund my blog and bring you the product reviews that you request. You can link to the store any time using the link in my sidebar.)


These glasses... so much fun. The base is cut from thick mounting foam, so they have lots of dimension. I cut some acetate lenses to fit in as well. The pug is colored with Copic markers.

To celebrate my blog-iversary, I'd like to give away 2 of my crafty art prints - please leave a comment by midnight Tuesday for a chance to win! I'll announce the winners in my post on Wednesday.


Thank you for your visits, comments, suggestions, and questions - you make this fun!
Thanks for stopping by!

P,S, Speaking of prints........ I have a new one available for preorder! This is an addition to my series of illustrated hymns. I'll share more soon!

  17. congratulations! woo hoo! the card is adorable. any other breeds down the road? (german shepherd or lab) I love to see your videos. I have no artistic training so watching these and listening to the hints and tips are great. so be sure to verbalize. what is knowledge and obvious for some is new info to others. that's what I have liked about your videos. glad you have been added to the ellen Hutson site too. lots of new stuff going on. also thanks for sharing your prints. would love to win one.
