TWO WINNERS INSTEAD OF ONE!!!

Hello Dear Friends...

I apologize that I am a little late in announcing the winners of my 

"Happy H"OWL"o-ween" panel drawing...

What a busy time, getting ready for Market and all!

(Did I mention we also have a wedding, bridal shower and college

graduation in the next month?)

So to try to make amends, I am have chosen two winners 

(with the help of random.org)

instead of one!

Congratulations to Joyce who commented on May 7th

and

Deb who commented on May 4th.

You will both receive the above panel.

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and your kind comments.

They truly mean a lot to me!

Joyce and Deb, please email me with your addresses, so that I

can send your panels right out.

Thanks again everyone!

Happy Spring and Happy (early)

Halloween.

Always,

Deb

Happy H"OWL" o-ween in May!

Hello Dear Friends!

Hope that your spring is off to a wonderful start.  Ours has been a little odd in terms of weather....and as if to prove it, my poppies are blooming!!!

I'm not sure, but I think that they usually don't bloom until later in the summer.

 Just when this beautiful orange and black flower arrived

at our home, 

a fun orange and black (and green, purple, yellow and red) Halloween fabric group is arriving

in fabric stores across the country!!

I'm so excited to introduce my new Halloween group with Moda fabrics!  It is filled with friendly owls and spiders, candy corn and cobwebs. Sure to make you get in the Halloween mood...even in the spring!

The panel in the group is divided into two images....

Happy Halloween Owls

Pumpkin Patch Friends

One of my favorite coordinates is the collection of

Halloween words!

eek! fright, spooky, scary, trick or treat, haunt, CREEPY words.....

There are also plenty of owls and spider webs! 

I had such a good time designing this group!

Hope that you have fun creating with it!

WIN A HAPPY H"OWL" O-WEEN PANEL!

Leave a comment by May 10th and one winner will be chosen to win a  BRAND NEW panel (includes both images.)

Happy H"OWL"o-ween,

a little early (just like my poppies),

but still frightfully fun!

Always,

Deb

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Hello Dear Friends!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN OHIO!!!

We are experiencing some beautiful weather here in Ohio.

Hurray! Spring is here!

It is so inspiring to be outside again.

Our grandsons can ride their bikes again...

And of course, there are bubbles.....

Our daffodils are in full bloom.......

and we see so much color on our evening walks again!

I especially love blue and white don't you?  There is something

so clean and new when the two colors come together.

Hmmmmm....wonder if a new collection with 

these colors will be coming in the future?

Look for it soon!

Hope you can enjoy the beautiful weather!

Always,

Deb

Remembering A Past Career....

Hello Dear Friends!

Recently, I was invited to speak at Ansonia High School's Career Day.  It brought back so many memories of when I was a teacher! 

I was there to talk about careers in Art.  It was so much fun to share

what I do with a younger, very creative generation.

The students were polite and attentive and asked some very good questions.

But, I have to say, the best part was looking out into the

audience and seeing my beautiful, talented

daughter, Arrin, as the art teacher!

What blessings our children are!!

Hope that you have something wonderful

happen in your day today!

Always,

Deb
