Happy and Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving friends! I hope you will all be able to share this holiday with ones you love.  

No school today, so I am getting an early start on the Thanksgiving celebration.  Jack (My soon-to-be stepson) and I  will be heading over to my mom's house to make pumpkin cookies, an old family favorite.  Yum!

Tomorrow,  Matt and I have two Thanksgiving dinners to attend.   We'll be with my family in the afternoon and then hop over to Matt's parents house in the evening. I'm looking forward to plenty of good company, good conversation, and way too much food.

I will be holding a Black Friday Sale in my Etsy shop. Details will be posted on the blog tomorrow. Be excited - some deep discounting!

Cheers!

Autumn's End

Outside, it's becoming cold and quiet.

The last of the leaves are falling.

Our long winter's nap is near.

"Would Be" is a celebration of the last throws of autumn.  I created this 2.5" x 3.5" (ACEO) work on a piece of ledger paper.  It has been sprayed with a UV-resistant clear coat so that the colors of the magazine and ink stay bright as the day it was made.

"Would Be" is available in my Etsy shop.

Holiday Shopping @ the Rockford Art Museum Store

The Rockford Art Museum Store is one of my go-to gift shops in town. If I'm in need of a unique, artsy gift, I know I will find something there. Just last week I bought my co-worker a beautiful handmade coil basket made out of newspaper and magazine.

During  the holiday season the RAM store will carry a selection of my cards, gift tags, prints and originals.  I'm excited to have my work in a "brick and mortar" during the prime-time gift giving season!

RAM Gallery and Store are open Monday through Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday 12-5.
