Happy Holidays!

Just checking in before the major festivities of the Season
get started, and to tell you a bit of big news from 
my part of the world.
I have a new muse in my life....grin....

Meet 'Barkley McMuffin Butt Phillips'

When we went to pick Barkley up from his fur mum,
he was just about 10 weeks old, now almost a month
later, it's almost as if he's always been here.


He's fit and healthy, had his first vet visit, and he's
now my art room buddy for late night art time.

Although, not much art time since his arrival...grin...
but have managed to keep on making the 
Artist Trading Coins obsessively! LOL!


Using my vast collection of graphics from the myriad
of designer collections, like Retro Cafe Art, and Teesha Moore The Astronauts Club, PaperWhimsey and 
Tumble Fish Studio (retired) and 
Crow about StudioB and Itkupilli from Mischief Circus...


They've all been keeping me busy...


I'm finding making the Artist Trading Coins,
is a great way to have some quick and fun 
quality art time, if you set up an area with all
the supplies at hand....


then it's all ready for when you can grab 15 minutes or
a couple of hours at a time.


I've been using a bunch of my 6x6 scrapbook paper pad
to do the backgrounds, helping use up supplies and,
making the process a little quicker from painting backgrounds,
(although when there's time, I'm enjoying that process too.


But with a new fur-baby in the home...
not a lot of time currently for a more
committed art time....grin...

although I have dabbled a bit with
some digital graphics pages ....


When Barkley allows it....grin....


So I just want to wish you all a very 
Wonderful Holiday Season!
So hard to believe it's almost Year End!

Sending You
All the Best of Wishes
for the Holidays!


Cheers!
