Winners of Giveaway!!! New News!

Working on a New Painting

 I guess I will tell everyone what my news is. I was contacted by Hallmark!! I guess they are looking for some new art and they would like to use some of my art for there greeting cards.  Soooo excited. I signed the first contract.  Just the first step.  And hopefully they can use some of my art.   EEEEEEeeeeee pinch me!

I did not want to say anything until I signed something and I got my W9!

Very excited about it!

 My Father In Law died in January.  He had been ill for some time so I would sit with him. He and I would talk about my art.  He was a great business man and a true believer in me. He kept on saying to me " You need to contact Hallmark".  Well I kind of just thought " You don't just contact Hallmark.  They have there own in house artist" I would sit with him and he kept saying that my art would be perfect for Greeting Cards.  He always thought Big. (I believe there is a lesson there)  In the back of my head I have this feeling that he had something to do with this.  Charley is watching out for me.  I really truly think he had something to do with it!  Things like this happen to me all the time!  I'm not kidding! I have always felt it. 

It's all about the Energy!!!

Don't Let Your Dreams Fly Away

 

Journal Page

Don't ever let your dreams fly away.  Hang on!

Some days it is so hard to keep a grasp.

But just keep on holding

What happens to people is they stop working and give up right before they are going to fulfill their dream.

Hang on for the ride.

There will be bumps and falls but just remember it will make it all the sweeter.

Hang On!!!!!

Open Your Wings - Trip to Providence and New Paintings

 

Open Your Wings

Easier said then done sometimes.

Some times I feel a little wobbly(is that a word?)

Like a baby bird that is just learning to fly

It has been a difficult journey. (Of my own doing)

I just have to learn how to OPEN MY WINGS. 

And Let Goooooooooooo

  

Anyway Steve and I went on a trip to Providence RI for a JLC convention that Steve was attending.

What a great trip.  I came along just for the site seeing.

Steve has been to this convention a couple of times and always said he wanted me to come along because he knew I would love the architecture.

So this year since I am on my own (No Corporate Job) I went along.

I just hung out by myself during the day. While everyone else (Nelly,Steve and Mike) went to classes.

It was a blast! 

I forgot my camera, as usual and just took some from my i phone. 

 

Steve skipped an afternoon class to go walking with me. 

These are just some of the sites

 

 

Really Cool Restaurant. Don't quote me but I think it was called 121???

Also I wanted to give a shout out to Sweet Olivia from Craftland. 

Really Cute Shop I found with all kinds of goodies!

She was so welcoming!

If you ever get to go to Providence tell her that Heather sent you!

 

Also managed to create some new paintings.

 

This one is for a Wedding Present 

 

Also a lot more prints will be added to my Etsy shop.

 Let me know if you have any questions.

Hope everyone has a great week!

See you soon.
