A little Rambling....

Here's to NEW ventures and making new online friends.  This is my blog and I will try and post something everyday.  I am not much of a talker or a blogger so it will be pretty difficult for me to remember to post something.  I was up til about 5:30 a.m. working on some new digis for the September 10th release; so I am a bit tired.  Although, 4:00am is has become my usual bedtime since I am up pretty late drawing, creating my new website and graphic designing my rubber stamp insert cards -- yipee!! I will hopefully be offering etched rubber stamps very soon on selected images for those who prefer to work with rubber stamps.

The images I drew last night came out so adorable!  There are a couple of cutsie ones and a couple of my regular type of drawings (ice bucket anyone?  hint hint) :). I am do itching tp release them now!  Sept. 10th is too far off, lol.

I am a versatile artist so I will be drawing a variety of images so that I can offer a wide range of digis for crafting community. Here are some fun facts about me. :)
