Wordless Wednesday

making me happy...

Good-day to you all...and really, although we had more snow and it really does feel like the middle of January again...today is a GLORIOUS day!
Whenever I receive the Green Bean zine in my mailbox...I am fortunate to receive joy, smiles and a great read as well. Thanks Katie! Your work is awesome!
This edition is all BUNNY related...I can't wait for her special issue of "Ba Ba Black Sheep" to come out...I have a thing for sheep...all cuddly and bouncy.
UPDATE:: It's OUT and I just bought one!!!
Did I ever tell you I had a pet sheep when I was young? Actually my sister and brother did too...I think my parents thought it was a great gift as they really wanted sheep...so why not let us think they were for us!!! Ha ha...mine was called Jamima...she was cute until she started chasing me around the field and head butting me from behind. They're quite forceful when they want to be! I was only 8 years old...and little lambs grow up pretty fast.

Another VERY sweet write up about "moi" by one special lady who has purchased and commissioned pieces from me in the past...you can read what she says HERE. (blush blush)
If the world was full of "Kims" we'd never be at war!

Have a grande day...snow,sun and ALL...

HAPPY SATURDAY everyone...

SO pleased my recent subscription to Katie Green's "The Green Bean" Zine arrived at the begining of the week...I LOVE her work...if you've never taken a ride over to her Blog, then please do!

Her Zine is full of goodness, recipes,contests,ALL hand-drawn...she has even added a few of her "What I wore Today" drawings, which you can also find linked from her blog to the FLICKR group...

I love it...and it stays close to me in my purse at ALL times!!!

Can't WAIT to get June's issue!!!

Do you read or subscribe to any Zines?

I received my winning package from Andrea who has the wonderful and creative blog "Andrea Creates". THANKS Andrea...I LOVE my little pouch and the stepping out jacket pattern!!!

It all came so beautifully wrapped and with a lovely Monet card.

just signed up to Artful Penpals and am SO excited...I used to enjoy having panpals as a teenager and would write letters to teens who became friends over the years...I have since lost touch with some of them...but others are still dear in my life.

Artful Penpals ran last year too but I found out about it after it had begun.

This year, dear Shelagh Duffet from the blog "Alice in Paris loves Art and Tea" remembered how gutted I was that I didn't make it last year and contacted me to remind me about this one. THANKS Shelagh!!!

If anyone of you are interested in reading more about it...you can click HERE.

I found GOOP online today by Gweneth Paltrow- and subscribed to her weekly newsletter...I had NO idea she offered such an interesting read...LOVE IT!

We've had a busy DANCE day...miss A did a dance workshop (hiphop) after her regular ballet class and really enjoyed it...she's totally bezonked though and is ready for dreamland.

I'm in the midst of finishing a little painting. Will show you tomorrow.

I hope you're enjoying your Saturday...

Which NEW online blog/site did you find this week??

Until tomorrow.
