Who's down with PMOT?

It's always been so so tough for me to put myself out there...in so many ways...but especially in photographs. I swear, every time I go to an event...lets say for example something like the Where Women Cook magazine launch/signing in NYC that I attended back in December... there are always lots of gals snapping photos at events like this...and I'm always thrilled to see my blogland friends in person...and of course I'm more than happy to pose for pics with everyone. But I have to admit to something...after posing in a bunch of photos at an event like that...I will undoubtedly spend the rest of my day thinking "oh jeez...I gotta make sure to jump on Facebook as soon as I get home so that I can "un-tag" myself from all those photos I just posed in!"
Yeah, I'm definitely camera shy...so it was totally a big deal to follow through with the vow I made to myself...to put a face to this blog, etc...etc... like I said in the previous post.
So, now it's a couple of days later...and there's my face up there on the blog...and it's a lil bit nerve racking. But what's also up there on the blog are all of your super amazing sweet & kind comments!
Well Oh My Goodness!! I really don't even know what to say...except THANK YOU ALL so very very much!!! You guys definitely made it so much less nerve racking.
On my Facebook page my pic has always been the cartoony painting of a girl who we modeled after me, with the dark lipstick, blonde braids & bangs, and the flower in the hair. Well the other day, before putting my pic on the blog I first changed my Facebook pic to an actual photo of my present self...ya know...babysteps. Never ever did I expect the extremely generous outpouring of kindness! You guys made me blush...my face squinched up...cheeks got hot...I was smiling, but it was that embarrassed smile...ya know...the kind that you're unaware of and that you can't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try.
Well, long story short...you guys really let me know that I made the right decision. I'm hearing from online friends that I've been corresponding with for more than 4 years and they're telling me how happy they are to finally see my face! I mean, sure, I've put some pics of me up on the blog over the years...but I bet you can count 'em on two hands and still have some fingers left over! And I've been blogging since '06!!
So this year really is going to be a NEW year. I plan on stepping in the right direction on so many levels. I'm not going to overwhelm myself OR you guys by getting into all the details right here and now. But as those new milestones approach I will be marking them with a lot more confidence!

Of all the comments and emails that I received concerning the blog and/or my pic on Facebook...What got me the most excited was finding out that I'm far from being alone in my camera shyness...and that so many of you told me that I inspired you to do the same...to put YOURself out there. And it just made me think...this isn't just my year. Let this be OUR YEAR!! Lets hold hands, band together...take baby steps together...and get ourselves out there!

Join me...in Putting Myself Out There in 2011! And first things first: why not step out from behind that camera! put on some gloss...put on a happy face! We owe it to ourselves and each other. I know that all of you, just like me...love seeing your online friends...seeing who baked that cake...who painted that painting, sewed that dress, quilted that quilt, doodled those doodles...or told that funny story...or decorated that home. So lets give 'em what they want and what WE want. Chances are...like myself, you'll come face to face with more kindness from others than you thought was even possible.

Let's do this! Make 2011 the year of Putting Yourself Out There!!

How will YOU Put Yourself Out There in 2011?!

(In this pic I am wearing Too Faced Glamour Gloss in barely legal.)

I never ever thought I'd get emails about my make-up...but I guess the world is full of surprises! I got a couple dozen inquiries about my specific make-up. Most of them pertaining to my lipstick color...which is funny...because I happen to naturally have light pink lips. Maybe I stained them pink by wearing dark red lipstick for 20 years...who knows?! But the pics from the other day...I got so many questions about my specific shade of lipstick. Well, all I had on was classic black label ChapStick!
But...speaking of make-up. I'd be more then happy to share my faves with you. I just went shopping with a giftcard I had from Christmas...and I knew right away what I was going to spend it on. My faaave line right now is Too Faced. They always have the cuuuutest packaging and really great sets! I have a bunch of their stuff. My day to day make-up is almost exclusively Too Faced. I am so excited about their new "Look of Love" collection! Check out the bag! how pretty is it?! And the set was such a great value. You get a Full Size mascara, Shadow Insurance, lip gloss, one of their faaaabulously soft Kabuki brushes, and a mini Primed and Poreless...which I looooove! It is amazing stuff. It seriously makes your skin feel like silk! It is a MUST have. I also picked up one of their Mood Swing glosses...in Petal Pink. It's really so so cool! It changes throughout the day from pale pink to berry pink and every shade in between.


I also adore their Naked Eye kit...it is perfect for everyday....comes with little cheat sheet cards to create 3 looks... day, night and fashion.


Yesterday was Aaron's bday! 35! For some reason I thought we were 36...I seriously never know how old I am.


Our crew was scattered doing some things...plus it was sorta icky out..snowing/raining..so we'll be doing the real celebrating soon. His parents are taking him out to eat tomorrow, but since we got a late start and all of the above reasons...on the actual birthday just Aar and I went out for some food and to Barnes & Noble where I snapped a couple pics of our Keep Calm & Have a Cupcake stuff. I'm thrilled to see that B & N ordered all over again. They had our stuff last year along side the classic Keep Calm and Carry On stuff...and now they've got a whole new batch to tie in with their Cupcakes theme.


Afterward we grabbed a movie from Redbox...do you all have those?? Are they everywhere?
We totally LOOOVE Redbox!! Netflix is super duper great...but for those spur of the moment, or in between times...Redbox is perfect. We've been known to go at midnight on Monday for the Tuesday new releases!


Isn't he adorable??

We picked up the newest from George Romero...Survival of the Dead! Don't get me started on him....or my love for zombies...I'll be here allllll night!!
But look at this guy...and his glasses... and giant ears...He is just a giant man! such a character! We love to listen to his commentary. We watch the movie and then watch it all over again with the Director's Commentary turned on. George always provides generous extras on his dvd's. We always watch the dvd extras on movies...do you?

anyways...

Who is with me?? Ready to make this OUR year?! Remember: baby steps! Grab some lipgloss...put on a smile...snap that pic..and post it!! :)

I love you guys to bits!!

ps...grab a blog button if you are joining my PMOT crew!! :)

putting myself out there :)

I think this is going to be a shorter than usual blog post. I've got a Chihuahua (Jack) on my lap and he keeps demanding that I use one of my typing hands for something more important...say...petting, or twirling his little ears. So, I'll be brief so that I can give Jack the full attention he so demands.
I never ever post pics of myself online, but I vowed this year to put myself out there more. Blog more, Do more, Interact more...with people and the things I love most. I've gone on and on here on my blog about how much I adore my blogland friends and all that we share with each other on so many levels. I mean, don't get me started! as you know...I could go on all day! ; ) But my whole deal this year is that I really want it to be the opposite of last year. I think for a while now I've been living an ersatz life. You know, being ok with half of a life. Keeping people who should be dear friends at a distance...settling on the absolute least that life has to offer...hiding from happiness as if I'm not worthy to have it. But I'm not going to get all Self-Helpy about it and over analyze...I'm just going to do the opposite of whatever I used to do...that should be easy. So I vowed to not be camera shy and to give you guys a face to go with all the other stuff. So here I am...Thursday afternoon in my kitchen...just got back from the grocery store...about to give the pups some treats.

I won a giveaway over at the super fab fashionista Keiko Lynn's blog. Never a dull post...always full of smashing photo shoots and up-to-the-minute looks. The prize, this ring of brass filigree and black rose cabochon...it is really so me! Winning is fun...but winning something that you would've bought if you hadn't won it, is extra nice. The ring was made by a talented gal named Caitlin and you can find this same ring in her etsy shop: Wanderlustings. I LOVE it! Big thanks to Keiko & Caitlin!! And Caitlin also has a fabulous blog herself...which you should certainly visit!

Alright, time to introduce Design Team member # 5. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned Mary Holcomb on my blog more than a few times...and I know I've referenced her whenever I've done an interview and the question was "what are your favorite blogs to visit?"
Mary Holcomb is the gal behind the fab blog Oh Merci. Everything she touches turns Pretty, yes...with a capital P. Down below is a fabulously detailed bio that Mary gave me...so, I'll let her tell you about herself while I take some time to pet the pleading chihuahua on my lap!

Mary Holcomb

"Growing up with an older brother and 4 younger sisters ensured excitement, fun, but also many opportunities to learn a lesson or do a chore! My parents' priorities were their little family, 6 wiggly creative, smart, funny, and loving kids. I have been making things since I was 4 or 5 years old and I believe my first project was cutting out characters from the pages of my story books and turning them into little dolls. Later I advanced to sewing, drawing, and painting, supplemented with lots of bike riding and climbing trees. I really attribute my ability to create and be happy to the way that my Mom and Dad raised us. It is the simple parts that are so beautiful in life and I think what I create reflects this.

It was important too, for my husband and I to raise our own children with similar values. Caitlin and Douglas are both very talented young adults now, each developing their own creative plan. Caitlin is actually the one who convinced me to set up a blog and online shop in 2007! She and I make a good team and often bounce ideas off of each other. I have sold my work at local boutiques since the children were young, but the idea of having my own online shop was very exciting and opened up a new world of fun and opportunity. Since opening my shop I've introduced many handmade pieces including my Petite Chandeliers, original designed tulle wreaths, jewelry made with new and vintage finds, and my personally designed, handmade houses for Christmas time. I am happiest when creating and I am so thankful to be able to share my work with you!"

I remember the first time I set eyes on Mary's Christmas houses...I told Aaron "get in here...you are gonna die when you see these!" I have to admit...I've got a dream team of gals!
Ok, like I said...keeping it brief...gotta go and watch a terribly cheesy looking horror movie from RedBox...while packing orders! :)

Be back soon with some new artwork!

Visually Speaking

I'm seeing RED! ...no, no, no, don't take it the wrong way...I'm not angry...not mad. My eyes just have an appetite for all things RED right now.Sure, I live in a world of pastels...a world where colors are aged, old, washed, and worn away. And being a girl full of anxious energy...being a girl who seems to have a penchant for panic attacks, I'm sure it's no coincidence that I've chosen this calming color palette. I'm not saying that my aesthetic tastes are simply my self prescribed home remedy. That would be much too tiny minded...there's way way more behind my decor...or my art...or my fashion. But I do have to admit that these warm & faded hues have a way of chasing away the stress and the blues. (yeah...I kinda meant to rhyme right there ; ) )

But back to the point, which is......RED. I LOVE RED. I love red because it doesn't clash with pastels...on the contrary...it totally sets them off. A small dose of red is like magic. It has weight...it has punch (why do you think punch is called punch?...because it's RED!) You can design something: maybe a painting...or a living room...or an outfit... And there it is...you've got it all put together and it looks good.....but something is missing...it's lacking: ooomf! So whaddaya do? what's missing?
You need to add a punch of RED!

Now, of course this isn't always the case but you guys know what I mean. The color red can work wonders. And with V-day approaching, and with some of our new designs in mind I just wanted to give a little shout out to the color Red. Sorta like on Sesame Street..."this blog post was brought to you by the letter J and the color Red."

We've got some Red artwork listed in the store...some of it Valentines...some of it year round classic stuff. If you go and check out our listings for red stuff and something is missing...maybe a piece that you remember us having at one point, and you weren't in the market for it back then...but you're thinkin about pickin it up now...well anyway, you know what I mean...if you don't see it there now make sure to shoot me an email and ask about it...because it could be an oversight on my part...or the piece might have just sold and we'll be listing a new one shortly. And for all of you big time collectors of red...I'm sorry. I'll be the first to admit that we don't have nearly enough red in our collection. There WILL be more on the way!

So anyway....did I really just take up all that space talking about a color?! Well, yes...and no, I guess. I was getting at something a little more profound than that. I was thinking about all of the blogs that I love...and the magazines too. And I was thinking about all of you other bloggers...all of you fellow collectors...and stylists...and fashion addicts. Go ahead and click through some of the names on my blog roll....and then click through the names on those respective blog rolls. There are a whole lot of us! We are a massive force!....and what is it that we all have in common? We all speak the same language...we speak with our eyes...we speak visually. We LOVE to see things! We'll spend hours clicking through Flickr....poring over blog pics...flipping through decor mags ( I have a habit of flipping from back to front).
And that's just the passive side of us. Because a lot of us also MAKE things. We make things to LOOK at. We make things that look good to us. We do all of this work...spend all of this time...all of it is for the benefit of our all-seeing eyes.

There's that quote from Frank Sinatra: " I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
Wow...first of all...what a terrible, misguided, ill advised quote!!
But it's a famous quote and that's why it came to mind right now. And of course I'm not getting behind that quote...( I never drank once in my life!) ...but I'm thinking more about the attitude behind it...the idea of depriving yourself of something that will make your day, your life...better.
And by that I mean: Seeing Things. Speaking the visual language. Lets change it to...I don't know, something like: "I feel sorry for people who don't see things...etc. etc. etc."
The visual world is a wonderful one....don't deprive yourself of it.

Ok, that said, let me please introduce to you all another Everyday is a Holiday Design Team member. This is spotlight number 4 ! None other than Elizabeth Andrus...the gal behind Bluebird Papercrafts. Really, Elizabeth is what brought on all of the above...all of the talk about "seeing" things...and visually speaking...and having an eye. When I look at Elizabeth's work...well, first of all, I just drool over it...and then I say "wow! she can just SEE stuff!" She can see what wasn't there before...but will soon be there...She see's amazing potential in seemingly simple stuff. It's kinda hard for me to describe so you should really go to her blog and let her tell you. Because beyond being great at seeing things and making things, She's also an absolute Wiz at telling you HOW she makes her magic!

Elizabeth Andrus

Me and Aaron really love so much the way that she talks on her blog...so I'm going to break my regular form right here and let Elizabeth give her bio in her own words:

"The quietness of an Empty Nest led to the discovery of blogs and the creative community of women found there. A passion for writing and paper crafting, encouragement in kind comments, the beginning of a journey. "Use What's on Hand" is my creative style.The eye is forced to look at supplies in new and unexpected ways. This is what I hope to bring to creating with Jenny and Aaron's wonderful products." - Elizabeth Andrus

We are so thrilled to have her on board!

Ok, I went on much too long and apologize. Also, I said in the previous post that I'd be showing you all a new painting. Well, we needed a little more time to put the finishing touches on that so it'll be featured in my next post. Thanks so so much again for reading! xoxo, Jenny

Sunny Sunday

Hey everybody! Hope you're having a lovely weekend! We have some sun shining...and our roofs are finally snow free! Though I did just see a facebook update about more snow headed our way by Thursday. Say it aint so! I never thought the day would come when I would be anti snow day. Does this mean I am a grown up?

I'm actually just popping in really quick...to say Hi!! But I will be back later tonight with a new painting...perfect for Valentine's Day or all year round! And...another Design Team spotlight!

till then...

I saw this a lil' while back, but came across it again yesterday. Really makes my heart happy. This daddy and daughter are too cute!! She is something else! :)

(pause my blog music first....way down bottom of the page)



See you guys later! Enjoy your day!
xo Jenny

Diecuts are Back!

Still at work filling the store with some of our Everyday is a Holiday classics. I'm so happy to be making our diecuts again. We just got so wrapped up in doing other things that the diecuts kinda fell to the wayside...but after lots and lots of requests (which I appreciate so so dearly!!) we got to work on a batch of some of our favorite diecuts which are ready to ship and listed now!! And we'll be adding lots more of 'em to the shop real soon. I was a collector of vintage diecuts long before we even started making them and I've got some super faded/brittle ones that I don't even want to hang up...I keep them in a flat box and visit them every once in a while. My old ones are mostly ice cream and milkshakes...VERY hard to come by old cakes and cupcakes. So I guess you could say I made them out of necessity. For years we were making ornament sized cupcakes and cakes...and it was one of those "why didn't we do this sooner?" moments when we decided to make them super big...like real deal diecuts...which were engineered to grab your attention from afar..."hey...all of the sudden I want a slice of chocolate cake!"...says the woman as she strolls past the window display at Woolworths. And our diecuts are absolutely perfect for that purpose...we've got a ton of bakery owners for customers. BUT of course the majority of our collectors are just plain old civilians like us. And come to think of it...in the home, I think I like diecuts even more. Doesn't it make sense to have a giant cupcake just floating on your living room wall!?





For a while we've been wanting a tiny video camera. Just something simple...we were considering a Flip. But it's not like we told anyone that we wanted one...so it was a huge surprise when Aaron opened up this gift from his brother on Christmas. It's perfect...exactly what we were looking for. It is a Sanyo Xacti We've had some ideas on the back burner and we're gonna play around with this little guy for a while to get used to all the ins and outs. Once we've got the hang of it you guys will be seeing some of the footage right here on the blog...should be fun fun fun ;)

And speaking of videos...I adore the etsy channel on youtube. If you're not a regular viewer already then I suggest you grab some tea & cookies and prepare to smile BIG! The vids are just so fun and inspiring.

Here is a vid featuring one of my FAVE gals in blogland...Dottie Angel...and her oh so lovely "mossy shed"... I love her and her world so so much!! Press play below and you'll be enchanted too!

(Be sure to pause my music first. Located wayyy down at the bottom of this page)

Now let's meet another Design Team member shall we? This is highlight number 3...our friend Natalea ( pronounced like the regular Natalie...but as Natalea told us..."her Dad was being creative" :) ) We got to meet Natalea at Silver Bella...where we also learned how to pronounce a few other gals names. It's so funny when your online relationships crossover into the 3D world...you suddenly have to SAY the things that you've only TYPED up to that point! We had a short list of gals who we just could not wait to meet in person at Silver Bella and when Natalea approached us we were so THRILLED...we had been talking online for a looong time.

Natalea Kandefer

Meet Natalea. She dabbles with lots of mediums but her biggest love is creating with paper. She's been published in Art Journaling, Artful Blogging, and some other art zines as well. She primarily focuses her creative efforts on art journaling and mixed media works but she's always thrilled to try new mediums and loves to expand her creative palette. She's into lots of styles...from sweet & whimsical to dark & contemplative...whether it's music, fashion, or mixed media. Art that incorporates a bit of each is what really makes her heart sing!
Besides trying to live each day Artfully, she teaches English as a second language to refugees, reads fiction obsessively, enjoys sand & snow as much as she can, crafts with her five year old daughter, eats lots of sushi, and tries to be as fun as possible.

We are so thrilled to have Natalea as part of the team! I adore her art journaling and look forward to seeing what she can do with our designs! :)

You can see already if you check out the pics of Natalea's work and then look back at Chelsea's & Jenn's stuff...we've already got a pretty diverse group...and we're only halfway there!

Alright...for me, this is a short and sweet post. I'll be back soon with more Artful thoughts from our cozy nest and a spotlight on Design Team member #4 !
Love ya lots! xoxo, Jenny

Bring on the Valentine's!

Baby it's cold outside like you wouldn't believe. The snow from a couple weeks back is still here, only now it's crusty, old, dirty, and dangerous...and it's lying around like a lazy winter vagabond lodger overstaying his welcome at our quaint country inn. Well, to his advantage we got a few more inches of fresh powder last night...those big winter wonderland style flakes came down in a hurry...and wouldn't ya know it...that crusty old vagabond got himself all prettied up! The craggy roadside mountains look all soft and pillowy again! Ha...we know what lies beneath.
But this time...man is it cold! Not sure of the temp and ya know what?...I'm not one for temps anyway...they always seem like such arbitrary numbers...I just go by Aaron's response when he comes in from walking the dogs...he either says it's "cold" ...or he says it's "COOOOLLLLLDDD". And today it's the latter. So, we're stickin indoors and I've been trolling the interweb...all my regular haunts...and jeez!! Apparently Valentine's is in FULL SWING here online! And to this, I am not opposed. Sometimes I get annoyed at the rushing of things...like "people, give it time, let it breathe, the day will come soon enough...hey Michaels, what's with the Christmas stuff in September? We're still working on our Halloween crafts for Pete's sake" (who is Pete anyway?)... But like I said: Bring on the Valentine's! It's all such pretty stuff with a pretty message...I mean, with this weather...what better way to warm the heart than with a whole bunch of hearts?! right?
So, I started pulling out some of my fantastic Valentine's stuff from over the years...and the very first things I grabbed were my super duper adorable little pipe cleaner girls that were made by the gal who was born with a heart full o' whimsy... the incomparable: Laurie Romanaggi aka Magpie Ethel.
So while handling my gorgeous little gals I said to myself " I wonder if good 'ol Laurie has some new 2011 stuff up on the interweb yet?" Well, the answer was a resounding YES ! (see above!) I got a little lightheaded I must admit. And that one that I've featured in close up...it's mine mine mine...( I'm not saying that like a greedy scrooge McDuck...no, more like a little girl with that puppy from the window...just purely excited.) Anyway, Magpie Ethel is a post unto herself...and I promise that she will have her very own post in the future, but for now I just wanted to shine a little light on her to usher in the Holiday of Hearts!
Oh yeah, one more thing about the weather...right now, every single state except Florida has snow on the ground! Wowee! Who knew Hawaii got snow?! Maybe everybody knew...but not me.

Alright, last post I announced the Everyday is a Holiday Design Team and the energy surrounding it has been fantastic! I've been inundated with emails...all the gals on the team have been getting emails...comments on my blog, on their blogs, and this thing is still in it's infancy. You guys have no idea how good it feels when you have an idea, you tell the world, and the world says "hey...that sounds great!"...my warm heart could melt 49 states worth of snow!
Ok, enough gush....on the previous post I spotlighted Jenn Hayslip. So tonight it's time to spotlight Design Team Member # 2 ! One of my absolute favorite Canucks! and the one gal on the Team who truly makes us an International organization! Yes, she's Canadian, she's adorable, she's a heck of a blogger, a heck of a talent, and I don't think she sleeps! Honestly... I don't know how she does all that she does:

Chelsea Ling of PaperCakes

Meet Chelsea, when you see the level of her artistry, the breadth of her accomplishments, her amazing eye for all things glittery, crafty & stylish...you are first amazed that this girl is ONLY 25 years old! Then when you factor in the ages of her two adorable sons, ages 3... and 5 months... you might start to become suspicious (maybe she has an identical twin sister that she keeps hidden away, and they split the duties! ) But No...Chelsea does it all herself and despite her age...she's been at it for quite a while. She's been making things for as long as she can remember. Growing up, her mother was a hair stylist and Chelsea soon learned that she "sucked at hair" (Chelsea's words, lol ! ) ... so then she became a make-up artist. She got back into the DIY world heavy duty after getting married in '08. Being a new mom, making crafts at home was a great creative outlet. She loves Aqua, Pink, Unicorns, Glitter, Girly Vintage, Food, & Dancing! She has a pretty crazy sense of humor (me & Aar can vouch for this...and we've never even met her in person!)... and she's got an obsession with COLOR! What's not to love?!

So, that's Design Team Member # 2. Jeez, I'm way too excited already. And I really am...I'm not just saying it to say it. I think of putting together Inspiration Kits and sending them off to these fab gals...and I get a little goose bumpy in anticipation for the results!

Well, it goes without saying that ART makes my world go round. And that word ART is big for me. It doesn't just hang on walls...it's EVERYTHING. And if you're a regular reader of my blog then I'm sure that I'm preaching to the choir. ART is the blood in my veins, the thoughts in my head, the calluses on my fingertips, the glitter in my rug, the paint specks on my desk (and sometimes on my dog's tail : ) ) ... We...meaning me and you guys who read this blog...and the other blogs that I'm thinking of right now...We live the Artful life...no matter what your Art is...it means more to your soul, to your being, to your existence, then you'll ever know. We either create in private...or in public...or maybe we don't really create too much at all...maybe it's all still in your head....gathering up speed and momentum for it's day in the sun...heck, Aaron tells me that he writes a song verse every single time he takes the dogs for a walk....and those songs will probably never see the light of day...but so what? Does it really matter who see's , or who knows? ART is what gets you through your day maybe...or maybe it is what puts food on the table...Your Art might not even have a physical application...maybe your Art is simply Seeing Things in your own special way...maybe when you read a book, you read that book like no one else does...maybe the words are more than words for you...you don't see a story...you see texture and color and shape and beauty....Whew, I can go on and on...
And the reason I bring this up is because I spend a lot of time online...a lot of time on BLOGS. And what kind of blogs do I love??? ... ARTFUL Blogs. Our kind of people...People who can see the things that not just anybody can see. People who can tell us things and show us things that not just anybody can show & tell. To me... ART is the REAL WORLD... all the other stuff....that stuff that keeps us busy...the stuff that makes "their world" spin...well, to me, that's just the stuff that gets in the way of ART.



So this leads me to a great Artful blog that I recently became a follower of called The Littlest Polly. I'm so proud to be sponsoring a give-away over there right now. Polly is an Artist, a lover of life, fun, people, places, things....Just take a visit over there...words come to mind...words like Vibrant, Sparkling, Vital, Vivid, Moxie...she really puts together a smashing blog. She presents to you a world and you want to join her. As you've read above...I take ART very seriously...which also means, I don't take it serious at all...you know what I mean...I don't put it in a tiny rigid box...I spread it around all over everywhere and everyone. And that's why I visit the blogs that I visit...there's a whole lot of us Artists out there...and the more we support each other the better. So, definitely make The Littlest Polly a destination! AND...enter that give-away!!

Ok, that's all for now...time to watch a movie! Thanks again for stopping in!
xoxo, Jenny
