A great big PINK hug to Canadian Prep for bestowing this award on me! I am suppose to tell you 7 things about me...and then pass it along to other stylish bloggers...
1. I got a detention in the 3rd grade for drawing in math class...I should've known it would lead me to this day.
2. When buying jewelry I always imagine me wearing it with the same outfit, jeans and a white tank top. I blame Meg Ryan's character in French Kiss for this...because she wore that diamond necklace so beautifully in a white tank top.
3. I go back to work on Monday 7th. I'm not terribly excited about this because I will miss my baby so much...BUT I am looking forward to having adult conversations with people again! I also head back to the world of Junior League, Cultural Educators and the Gamma Phi Beta Alumnae board...my time "off" is coming to an end. Now the real juggling begins...
4. I haven't painted anything since before we moved in August!
5. One of my very
BFF's Jessica (from
Singleton in the Kitchen) is getting married in September in
Napa and I am in the wedding. I have not been a bridesmaid in probably 6 years!! I can't wait!!
6. This is my birthday week...and I hope Mr. Dubonics gets me the one thing I REALLY want...I have a short list, but there is something I really hope he'll get me.
7. It's the year of the "1" and if you take the age you are going to be this year and ADD that number to the last 2 digits of the year you were born the sum will be "11" or "111"... 33+78 = 111 ...try it!

I'm working on a book project about a Bee. It's for the same people I illustrated the book about clouds for. I am working on the last few drawings this week, so I wanted to share a couple of the line drawings I've finished.
This is one of my all time favorite red carpet looks---this is what I would be wearing if I were at the Golden Globes tonight.
Isn't she the cutest??
These are bracelets made from license plates. I couldn't resist and bought two---a bicentennial Delaware plate and a Michigan plate. I would have gotten Texas and Florida, but they were not as visually attractive as the two I got. The artist were SO nice! They make all sorts of treasures at great prices, take a look at their website, http://www.the3sisters.com/
Ari st Amy Lansburg, made her way here from Michigan. She makes beautiful pieces with drift wood from Lake Superior and really uses her wit and imagination. A delightful and stylish woman ( she was wearing a pair of license plate bracelets...that's where I first noticed them)... my mom fell in love with these church fans. Here's her website for more information http://www.amylansburg.com/
A fellow leaguer, Holli Kingsbury along with Macy de la Guardia make these gorgeous pillows and throws. This octopus was my favorite yesterday at the show. Holli's creations give your couch, bed, chair, office...whatever, a certain je ne sais quoi! To look at all the Thred creations visit, http://www.thredpillows.com/
This outlaw of a squirrel caught my eye right away...and he sold while I was talking to the artist...who unfortunately did not have cards on him.
I couldn't get to this artist to talk t o him...but fell in love with this piece called, "Hell on Wheels". 
Yes...it is what you think it is.
With a little over a month left of my maternity leave, I have started thinking of the things I will miss the most.
