The Holiday Season may be a Past Memory 

for most of us, but it's been still going on

for me here in Victoria, B.C. long after

the Holidays were over, as my mail service

has been so backed up, that packages are

still arriving for the Holidays!

I'd like to Share with You all a couple of 

Lovely Goodies that have arrived and

tell you a bit about the senders:)

Ms. Gigi Butterfly here in Beautiful British Columbia!

You all know her as

Kristin Hubick

Among the many things that Kristin so very kindly

sent me for my Birthday in December and the Christmas Holiday,

for which I am so 'gobsmacked' with, this had to absolutely

take the 'cake' so to speak:)

Kristin at Retro Cafe Art Gallery 

made arrangements with the Fabulous

Debrina Pratt of

Land of Enchantment

to send me one of Debrina's Fabulous 

Art Creations that I just adore!!!

Kristin knew that I have always wanted one

of Debrina's Lovely Creations and made

arrangements that both she and I would

have our own Birdhouse's made by Debrina!

As you all know, 

Retro Cafe Art Gallery

sells a Beautiful Assortment of

Land of Enchantments

Wonderful Graphics Sheets!

These are just a Fabulous Assortment of what I call

LOVE

From all these wonderful Artists who I am so proud

to refer to as my Friends:) :) 

Love you all!!!

And wait there's more to share!!!!

(LOL, Longest Post Ever!!! LOL)

I signed up this last December for a Fabulous

ONLINE TUTORIAL CLASS!!!!

AND IT's FREE!!!!

With my Fellow Canadian Artist Friend

Effy Wild of

www.wildpreciouslife.com

Book of Days!

Please check out Effy's Wonderful Project that I am 

currently a Group Member of as it's a Wonderful Opportunity

to learn all about Journaling, and be Motivated by this

Wonderful Artist!

It's a Year Long Project! Which may sound intimidating, but it's a Fabulous way to keep motivated, and the 

Online Community on Facebook as a Group Member is 

a 'Happening' in it's support!!

Here's some examples of my journal pages I've created while

being a Member of Book Of Days...

Trying all sorts of techniques! From Watercolour Washes,

to Stamping, Hand Lettering, and Graphics use!

(Graphics from the Fabulous TumbleFish Studio @

DeviantScrap.com!)

And of course as many of you Followers have learned

I always have a bit of cheeky humour in my pieces:)

(Big Birthday Sock Bash for my December Birthday:)

And I've even been motivated by Effy's Class

to dig out my old Acrylic Paints from my

years of Decorative Painting and begin again

doing some of my own creations through Journaling:)

(This page spread is going back to my sort of 

'childs book' ideas, back when I thought I'd be 

writing children's books. Old dreams anew:)

So Everyone:)

A very long blog post, full of Eye Candy:)

And tomorrow another post with the

Fun and Fabulous

Melissa Samuels!!!

And again,

Congrats to the Tutorial Brooch Winners!!!

Enjoy!!!!
