A Quick "What I'm up to"

I'm making a cool picture for my friend Elizabeth, of Circle T Ranch Designs (on Twitter as PunkEBodin) and swapping her for some of her awesome notecards.

This is Lucky, the handsome guy I'm doing a portrait of:

and I'm basing it on this pic:

This is the sketch that I did this weekend, but then I got alll creative, so wait 'til you SEE!

It's been tricky because I never drew a black furry animal before... Hence the creative part taking over! I should have it done by no later than next week :). Thank goodness Elizabeth is patient and understanding. I think she knows it will be worth it :)

A Quick Thank You

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who read my blog and show you care by dropping comments and fun feedback.

I live in a rural area and don't socialize much right now in the "real" world bc I am so busy with all of the life things (we ALL have life things, lol).

Even though we are all spread out all over the world, we are all together here.

Just please smile at yourself in the mirror today and know I appreciate you :).

Be good to yourselves,

Vicki

Thanks Beth from Wilde Designs!!

So I was having a grumpy wake-up this morning, did my half mile, made Ray's lunch, kissed him goodbye and then kind of grumbled about. I reluctantly opened my email to see which jobs didn't contact me back yet, and wouldn't you know it?

GOOD NEWS!! Oh my goodness, a gem in my inbox!


Beth from Wilde Designs featured me in her "Manic Monday" blog yesterday, and really said some nice things! She is a very upbeat and energetic person, very infectious.... I call her action yesterday a "Karmic Recharge", LOL!!

I am also a fan of hers. She is a graphic designer in Texas and she has an Etsy shop called wildemoon and another that my 18 year old son likes, called powerups (that's Pac-Man themed)also.


A good example of the ego boost and uplifting she did for me would be characterized in one of my favorites of hers, "Helping Hands":


Beth, thanks so much... I really appreciate your time in featuring me. I'm glad you like some of the stuff in my eclectic collection. I am thrilled and honored :)
BIG hugs to you!
