My blog is 2 years old!

What?!?! My blog is two years old?!?! I can't believe that it has been that long already. Loads happens in two years doesn't it? I have found great followers, gotten tons of feedback on things (mostly kind...phew) and met some really awesome people. So thanks for following me. I hope to keep you with me for a long while. I swore I wouldn't say "blogiversary" but I just said it...ooops! ;o)

A lot happens in two years. Like my boys went from this:


to this:

So Happy Blogiversary to my blog! LOL

Moving on...

Recently I had a really fun commission of an old high school friend's son. We reconnected on facebook after 20 years...love it! This is her son, his favorite stuffed animal, his room with his bookcase and glow in the dark stars. My personal favorite, their dog who is nothing less than a princess. Here it is:


And she just sent me photos of it framed with her adorable son.


and one with the princess:


I have some interesting projects coming up that I will share with you soon. Until then thanks for reading and ta ta for now! :o)

You really captured Melissa's son in that drawing! I love it (and you too!)

Melissa said...

I must say that it's your best work. :) Because that's my son Nicholas and our dog Gracie we're talking about here. Next thing will be a sculpture...you are a very talented lady, and I'm so glad we've reconnected after so many years! -Melissa

I was wondering... are your sculptures clay?

I was wondering... are your sculptures made of clay? Have a wonderful day!

Thanks all! I translated the Russian from niknik..it said...You are very talented artist! And the dolls and paintings are remarkable! God I love the internet! Niknik...Большое вам спасибо! Вы очень добры. Rocio...I use polymer clay, paper clay and terra cotta. It all depends on my mood. :o) Sonia...you are too funny.

Hey Amy! Wow, look how they grew! I have 3 boys, too. Mine are all huge and grown up now (my youngest is 12). I did manage to sneak a girl in (who is now 19! How did THAT happen?). Love your drawing, just charming! :) pam
