Hello Again Blog!

Well, it has been a while! I finally got over bronchitis, but then seemed to get caught up in playing "catch up" with life! I've been busy with many new animal adventures - had a run in with a red tail hawk and a white corn snake one weekend. You can find out more on my Artwork blog. Then Friday night I found a baby toad on my front porch. I thought my boys would enjoy taking a quick look at the cute little fellow, so I brought him inside. He managed to jump out of my hands and all around our foyer. I finally caught him without hurting him, but the poor little guy must have been scared out of his wits, because he managed to pee all over me!!! Boy could that little guy pee!
I've also been busy getting ready for the Centerville Pumpkin Festival coming up on Oct. 20th, here in Richmond, VA. Hosted by Etsy - hooray, what fun!
I'll be posting other pumpkin and Halloween items soon!
And I've been painting a purse for a local charity auction run by LINC to help women with breast cancer. I am honored to have been asked to make this piece. Other local artists along with celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Adrianna Trigianni will be donating bags.
Not the toad who visited us, but a larger version of what our little guy looked like. Not to worry, I put him under the shrub next to our front porch after his exciting adventure.

Bronchitis and Polka Dots

I have gotten so behind on everything from housework to painting after having bronchitis the last week and a half. I am finally feeling human again, and managed to get this plate listed in my etsy shop today. Hooray! (it's the little things that make my day! ;-) )
