Well my artwork at least...lol.


I have had so much fun making these glass tile pendants, using my original artwork- so if you ever fancied a small piece of me, why not look in my Etsy store they are only $10...

Etsy fever


Well I have only been on Etsy a week and already I have been on two treasury pages! wow!

This is a snapshot of the treasury page I am on today ( yes I had to ask my 16yr old how to do that!) It is picked by Carolsglasscreations, mine is the hanging heart. The other page I didn't manage to get a shot of was by my good friend Tanya, visit her blog on www.thatcheekyurchin.blogspot.com . Thanks guys for featuring me! Go check out my Etsy store I need that first sale!!!

I'm Backkkkkk!

I am back from my Holiday and I had the most wonderful time! The thing that surprised me most was that I went totally into holiday mode and did NO art whatsoever! I cannot believe this!Anyway hopefully I am all chilled and refreshed and will soon get into my groove.
Florida was great, we had a lovely villa with pool, we shopped , we visited Universal studios and Islands of adventure, we had a trip over to see friends at Long Boat Key, went to see Orlando Magic play Basketball, and generally relaxed. I got to shop at Jo Ann's and Micheals so I was very happy!
I now have to spend a while catching up with everyones blogs!
