Friday's Featured Friend!

It's that time of the week again! I've decided to feature just one friend at a time for my Featured Friends post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scary Antoinette, pictured above, was created by the talented artist I'm proud to showcase this week, Joyce Stahl, of "Enchanted Productions". She doesn't need much of an introduction, because her work is so well known and sought after by collectors!
Be sure to stop by for a magically enchanting visit to her blog: Enchanted Productions. Joyce and I are members of PFATT & EHAG together. I'm so excited that I'll be able to meet her in October, where we'll both be attending the "Ghoultide Gathering" in Michigan!

The Zinnia, one of my favorite flowers.......

I can never plant too many Zinnias! These old fashioned lovelies give my garden a burst of color all Summer long!

I just finished the above card and listed it on Ebay- HERE.

I enjoy making the dog themed ACEO/ATC cards...maybe it's because I love dogs! Our Maggie (1/2 American Eskimo and 1/2?), turned 17 years old on July 11th. She's easy to please....just make sure she gets her estrogen every other day, put cheese-whiz on her food and she's as happy as can be!

One of my customers placed an order for bookmarks that she'll be using as Bridal shower favors....I'm busy, busy, busy trying to finish those up today!

Friday's Featured Friends!

I look forward to doing the posts to showcase my friend's work. I hope you'll stop by and visit the two talented women I'm featuring today-(and tell them Nancy sent you!)

First up is, Barbara Shores, who is a member of TDIPT with me. Barb says this one reminds her of her childhood vacations spent at the 'Jersey Shore'. I'm lucky enough to own some of her work. Visit her blog HERE and website HERE.

Next is Laurie Hardin from Monkey Cat Studios. Her work is so creative, fun and full of detail. I met Laurie through PFATT & EHAG. Stop by her blog: HERE- You'll leave there smiling!

Jingle Time July

It's always a fun event when

PFATT Marketplace
has their annual "Jingle Time July". I'm sure there will be lots of wonderful Christmas themed items!!


I created the two snowfolk and ACEO/ATC card pictured below. I'm also the "Featured Artist" on PFATT this month, with the article on the bottom of the main Pfatt page.

Happy Birthday, Brett!!!!!!!!

From your very first "Birth" day 24 years ago today..... To all of those celebrated since then, You have brought happiness to all of those around you! Love and best wishes today and always!!!

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend at our cabin. Spending time with our family and friends, good food, cornhole and cribbage tournaments, staying up late and sleeping in, parades, nice weather and the beautiful sites made for a great time! The fireworks display is set off directly across the lake from our dock. It's so neat to see all of the boats out on the lake at dusk. The colors were just beautiful, and I love how they reflect on the water!

Have a great 4th of July, everyone!!
I'll continue my "Friday Friends" posts next week.

Picture perfect night!

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. ~Henry David Thoreau

Rick and I headed over to our cabin after work yesterday and stayed overnight.....it was a beautiful evening, with pefect weather!! I took this photo just before sunset on our lake.
