holidays hustle and bustle...

so SOMETIMES I under-estimate how long it takes me to do things! lol.. and my December newsletter for Scarlet Lime.. is one of those things! I have been working hard on it all day long, and not quite finished with it.. but no worries.. it will be ready by tomorrow! :) I wanted to share with you a sneak peek of ONE of the mixed media art pieces I did, using the kit we are featuring in the newsletter tomorrow  and will be posted here on my blog! Just a peak :)... and I  also wanted to annouce the winners of the two free spots into the  Soul Restoration Online Class!!!

First off.. our winners... drum roll please.. oh wait.. can I just say?? I LOVED reading everyone's posts about what their souls needed or what they are grateful for.. MY heart was full by the time I got done.. all of you have such unique stories.. makes my heart want to reach out and hug ya!  I also want you to know that I randomly chose the winners.. I knew it would be way to hard to pick two out of all those wonderful entries.. so I just did the random generator thing..it was a lot more fair and a lot less stressful! Sooooo... if you see your name below.. email me, so I can get you the details!!!

okay.. NOW drumroll :) .......

congrats to BOTH of you ladies.. I know all of the rest of you NEED this course so bad.. i wish I had the money to give it to all of you!! Please do consider it for your christmas wish list.. tell your friends and family to forget the socks this year.. or the box of candy.. tell them.. there is this amazing on-line art course.. that will forever change you.. and that you need it.. or.. give it to yourself as the little added push you need to start 2011 off with a bang.. I promise you won't be dissapointed that you went without fast foods for a month to pay for it  :)...IT IS WORTH IT!!

so now onto the sneak peek.. I actually ended up creating two canvas pieces (okay three.. but the third one looks like it came from night-mere before christmas!).. and I will be sharing both tomorrow.. .. here is a peak at the extra one I created..

 

come back tomorrow to see more!! Have a wonderful Wednesday night! I am off to spend the night with my only girl, Allie Belle. She's 11 and loves books more than I do (which is hard cause I love to read!!).. so we are going on a mini date.. to Barnes and Noble.. enjoy some time with your loved ones too! I know I need to more..

3. I love you.
4. Merry Christmas!

Looks fabulous. Can't wait for the reveal.

Oh, Christy, so unfair. Show the whole thing! :)

My Sophia is a big reader too. Tonight I got home from Christmas shopping and she shoved a book in my face and said "MOM. You HAVE to read this." Apparently she loved "Out of my Mind" because she read it in two days. Maybe Allie would like that one too. :)

I love this sneak peek. I am so anxious to see your tutorial because I so want to learn the basics of doing a canvas. I love all the ones you have shown photos of lately and I just keep seeing more and more. It is on my list of things to accomplish in 2011, Sheryl is going to help me with my lists:) And with your tutorial, oh score!!!
Thanks for all you do.

Love your mixed media pieces, I used to do more many moons ago. I am getting back to being creative for the fun of it and taking sewing classes (I also signed up for the Soul Restoration, thanks for making me aware).

[MelanieJ]

Loving your work! :) So fun to see what you are doing.

Time gets away from us all . . .

My 11-year old DD is a huge bookworm! She is looking for some new reads to dive into over the Christmas break? Any good ones that your daughter loves?

[Mary Pat Randall]
