BEEN AWAY FOR AWHILE...HOWEVER, I'M STILL HERE!

I'm so sorry I haven't been around in awhile. However, I'm still here! I haven't been in the studio for so long...and hoping to get back into my favorite room soon.  I did manage to work in there a little bit last weekend. The Gallery I show my artwork called, and they need some Holiday Items...oh my...and it begins! LOL 
Besides working my ass off at work, home, family, etc...we did manage to get a new vehicle.  Meet BELLA!

She is a beauty...and so much freaking fun to drive. I feel like I'm in a Sports Car for heaven sakes! LOL I will post some more pics of her in our driveway!  I hope everyone is enjoying the FALL WEATHER. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you and catching up!

CHEERS FOR NOW!

What I'm Doing!

Okay, it's been awhile since I last posted here in blog land. My bad!  However, I have a good excuse...I'm a TWILIGHT FREAK! LOL  Can't wait for the 4th Book to hit the big screen in November! I bought the first book a few years ago and just never got around to reading it.  My art studio, working, etc...took so much of my time, that I put it in our library, and just forgot about it...until recently.  My niece Tiffany totally understands what I'm about to say here...I'm a TWILIGHT FREAK! LOL  I read the entire series in less than a week and had to go out and get all of the movies. I'm now reading the books again, because I read so freaking fast the first time, now I'm sitting back and enjoying them page by page. 

So looking forward to seeing how they do the fourth book. It will be interesting to see how the new director captures all that is in the fourth book. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it will be a good one.  The book is wonderful.

I have also been spending time looking for this!

However, it would be nice to have this color since it's my favorite color in the world, I'm in search of the baby blue one.  I'm thinking of holding out for the new 2012 which hasn't been revealed yet, so I guess I will keep my fingers crossed on this one too!
Have a wonderful weekend and keep rocking with whatever that you do!

Okay, I had to add more pictures from the Breaking Dawn Movie...LOL

CHEERS!

Creepy Orphan Society's Challenges-Come Check Us Out!

THE CREEPY ORPHAN SOCIETY IS ROCKING IN THE NEW YEAR...PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LATE POST...THE Creepy Orphan Society's FIRST QUARTERLY CHALLENGE IS IN THE THEME OF

DARK SHADOWS

REMEMBER THESE?

I REMEMBER YEARS AND YEARS AGO, WATCHING THIS SERIES (THE REMAKE) ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. I wouldn't make any plans because I had to be home to watch this. Ben Cross was absolutely amazing in this series, and then they cancelled the show.

Now we are gearing up to see the gorgeous Johnny Depp and the amazing Tim Burton to put their magic onto the big screen.

So, won't you join the Creepy Orphan Society and create a piece of art in the theme of DARK SHADOWS. I believe that I will be making an Art Doll. However, things could change. That is the beauty of art and challenges...do whatever comes to you.

I hope you all join in on this Challenge and let's see what we all come with.

Enjoy and here are few pics of the dream team!

I so can't wait for this movie to hit the big screen. 

Now, over at Creepy Orphan Society we are also doing another challenge entitled "Dark Comic."  This is our February Monthly Challenge.  Not sure what I'll be creating for this one, but I'm very curious to see the other team members work and interpretation of this challenge.

Have a great weekend and make sure you check us out over at http://www.creepyorphansociety.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

As we wait for Spring...the "Ladies in Waiting" also wait

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS

DUE TO THE WEATHER AND ANOTHER STORM APPROACHING, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GRAB SOME PUTTER TIME...SO HERE IS THE LATEST

I'M A LITTLE BEHIND ON BLOG POSTS, BUT HOPEFULLY IN ANOTHER A MONTH OR SO, I'LL BE CAUGHT UP AT WORK AND GET BACK INTO THE STUDIO FOR SOME ART TIME.

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY COPY OF THE MAGAZINE YET, SO IF ANY OF YOU HAVE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE WHAT ART DOLL QUARTERLY DID FOR MY LATEST COLLECTION...WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL.

I cannot believe they spelled my name wrong...especially on the COVER! LOL However, it's spelled right in the article. LOL Oh well, I'm grateful that they loved my dolls enough to publish them!  This Collection really pushed my sewing skills and those wigs...my goodness, I think I like sculpting the hair rather then trying to do that again. LOL

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND SEE YOU SOON.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

CHEERS!

Art Doll Swaps & Happy Holidays From The Studio

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS FROM THE STUDIO AT CROW HAVEN FARM

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting...been very busy with orders, the holiday preparations, and working at the day gig!

I wanted to share before the end of the year a few of the doll swaps that I was involved with.  The first Art Doll Swap was with Abi Monroe...my team mate from Art Dolls Only Group.  I have been a big fan of Abi's Art Dolls ever since I found her and got to know her over at ADO.  Abi's Art Dolls are just absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see what she made me.  The Art Doll that I made for her is named "Bethany."  She is all about "NATURE."   Here are some pics of her:

I really enjoyed creating her for Abi and was thrilled that she made it safely to her new home!  Thank you Abi for doing this Art Doll Swap with me and I know Bethany will bring you joy for years to come. I can't wait to see my new baby...soon! LOL

Now for the 2nd Art Doll Swap. This Art Doll Swap was from the Holiday Art Doll Swap that Zan (another ADO Member) and a gorgeous, talented gal that put this whole thing to together for quite a few of us.  I got Sonia, and what I opened up was just amazing. Not only did she create an Art Doll for me, she threw in some ornies, a crow (Love, Love...the Crow) and a bunch of other goodies. I was so excited to receive such a wonderful package in the mail.  Check out the wonderful art work I received from another talented Art Doll Artist and who is also a team mate of mine over at ADO:

Sonia, thank you so much for everything you made me.  I will cherish them forever...and the Crow is in my studio as I type this. LOL

Here is the Art Doll that I made for Sonia for our swap:

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON AND ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP

I'LL BE BACK AFTER IN JANUARY!

HAVE A WONDERFUL REST OF THE YEAR AND SEE YOU SOON!

UNTIL NEXT TIME
