Americana Magic!! How Fun!!

Terrye French originally painted this design herself recently but a pattern packet wasn't made at the time. I was asked if I could repaint it myself and make a pattern packet for it!!

New Ebay Listing! (Is it really mid-February already??)

Oh My Stars! Where has these last couple of months gone?? I apologized for being gone in December then fail to show up in January! And now we are halfway thru February!! Hoping to get back in the groove soon and get everything updated, current and keep it that way!! (Fingers crossed!!) For today, I thought I would list my first Ebay posting for 2012!! This is one of my own designs that I had just finished up before I left for my trip a little over a week ago!! Now that I'm back home I'm ready to start painting, painting, painting! haha!! Hope you like my new post ~ "Spring Love"! ♥ (Ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180824389483?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_4233wt_1185 )
Thanks so much for everyone's patience!!!

An apology and a WISH!

I can only start by apologizing for being MIA in December!! Things became so hectic and crazy getting ready for the Holidays and events, that suddenly Christmas was here and gone and I realized I hadn't even wished all you wonderful folks a "Merry Christmas"!! My deepest apologies for that!! Now for my *WISH* ... my wish for everyone is for the most wonderful NEW YEAR yet!! Plenty of health, happiness and lots of crafting fun (while listening to Led Zeppelin, of course! haha!!) Sorry, couldn't help but add that last part!! :) I will be back into painting soon and I will try to get this page updated as soon as I can! In the meantime, have a Very Happy New Year!!! Thank you for everything and especially your patience through this busy time!!
Much Love, Sharon
