Winning! Fresh Home Winning!

My teacher friend Jennifer, nominated me for Fresh home magazine's Build A Better World Award... and I won!  Jen said that I deserve it for the awesome stuff I do in her classroom on Fridays, but I already felt like a winner because of the fun I get to have.  Let's be real though, who doesn't love a nice plaque that tells you in print, especially for the days when this 'winner' sews into her point finger.  For real.  Check out the article (and my fellow winners who are crazy talented and innovative) while I go try and hold onto this 'winning' streak Joanns.

Foxy Christmas

I still don't have Christmas cards.  I was thinking about just throwing in the towel and shooting for President's Day cards (again) until I saw these little Christmas miracles from Foxy Blunt:

Home for the Holidays
where peace & tranquility go to die.

Silent Night
holy hangover

Amazing.

Christmas Craft: Intel

I survived my first craft fair!  I did more than survive...I met some amazing people, got great ideas and only ate one of the delicious cookies they had out for everyone.  And by 'one' I mean one per day.

I am currently working on two of these custom cactus plates for a lovely lady that had family visiting Arizona for the holidays.

I finished a rush order of the snowflake plate to be given this weekend to a visitor from England.  I am so excited that a piece of my art will be in England!  So excited that I forgot to sign the back before I handed it over...I guess William and Kate won't be calling for an order as soon as I thought.

Browsers thought these two designs were fun and festive:

Generally, I label my style as sassy and contemporary rather than cute, but I would call the snow people ornaments I made 'cute' ... or 'cutetastic' and I love them.  So much that I just want to keep making variations all day.  My husband would be so pleased if I did that...maybe.
