It's a Giveaway!

It's hard to believe that we are just a few weeks away from
the beginning of a new year and with it hopes of new direction,
a chance to establish new traditions and the promise of
endless possibilities. I wish you a joyful present and a
well remembered past. Best wishes for happy holidays
and a magnificent new year.

Hi Melissa, I get your newsletters all the time and I love your work. It's whimsical and yummy at the same time. Your ornaments look like sugar cookies, which I love also. I love the faces you come up with each one is so unique. You have a real talent for what you do and I hope you continue your work in 2009.

Hi! I just stumbled across your website and art this fall, and love it. I'm also an artist, but have never found a way to do it for a living. Your site is inspiring me to try sculpting/paper clay. I've bought the clay and some tools, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I've been busy making paper mache snowman ornaments for my Mom for Christmas, and making my own Christmas cards. I hope to try the clay after the new year. Thanks for the inspiration! My name is Lorraine, and you can contact me at lorr520@hotmail.com. Merry Christmas!
