Okay,… I am doing it!
I am getting one of my Glitzy Galz tattooed on my arm!
I would like her to be approx 6″ x 5″ in size (or maybe larger) on my upper left arm, embellished with lots of juicy colours and a twinkle in her eye.
I want to have her looking very cute in a plain white t-shirt and low rise blue jeans showing off her little swirl of a belly button. In the washed out blue background, I am thinking of twinkling stars and white wispy swirls.
Isn’t she adorable?
I think some white accents on her wings would also be lovely.
She is my little Cupcake Gal.
FYI: I am organizing a second Art and Fine Craft Marketplace entitled “Holiday Shopping at Sunnyside“. VeNdOr SeArCh ON NOW!……………….. CLICK HERE

Forgive me, it has been 10 days since my last blog….
I know that I suck when it comes to blogging. I am always so busy. Maybe it is the Gemini side of me that has always made me run conversations, etc through my head without really saying or writing anything. Then I mentally always think that I personally have already been through the conversation (or post) and why bother going through it again and actually talk/write to someone????
I never really saw myself as one of those mentally wacky types of Artists (stereotype…..pllllhhhhpppp), but I guess I am, hey?
ha ha

Creativity Abounds… as kids head back to school.
This weekend I finally succumbed and bought myself a moleskin journal. Okay, well it’s not an official moleskin, as it has a fabric cover, but the pages are of the same quality. To your left is the first doodle/watercolour that has popped from the pages. She is just a little censored so that I may post her on here for you all.
I can’t wait to go get it out of my art studio and embellish another page today. I need to create something that marks the big day that my little pumpernickel stepped into his Kindergarten class for the first time and met Miss D.
AHHH, he’s growing up too fast!

I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!

The Naughty Secretary Club is packed with more than 50 kitschy-secretary-themed jewelry projects, plus lots of quirky sidebars covering hot topics such as office romance and the best secretary theme songs to listen to on your lunch break. You’ll learn how to use your office supplies in a whole new way – did you know standard office fare, like binder folders and shredded junk mail, makes craftalicious jewelry? Plus, author Jennifer Perkins will teach you how to turn almost anything into a charm, including plastic gnome cake toppers, doll furniture and cast-off hotel keys.
Whatever your day job, you can be a Naughty Secretary in spirit – and in style. So cancel your afternoon meetings, take a break from watching the clock and send yourself a memo to whip up a new paperclip necklace just in time for happy hour!
