The news is that I'm officially exhibiting at Surtex next May 16-18, 2010!

I've rarely been more excited about anything, and this is truly a marvelous opportunity. I'm taking full advantage of it, too! I'm determined to get licensees, and prosper while doing the work I love, and then fulfill my passion to help other people, and animals, and you-name-it. So that's my plan.

And YOU can help!

During this holiday season, my website and Etsy store will be decked out with great stuff you can purchase, for yourself, or as gifts for those special people in your life...

I'm going to feature originals, reproductions, Sculpey items, jewelry, journals... even a few surprises!

There's also now a link on my Coloring Book page (in "Gallery") at bottom to buy the book. That link will take you right to the page of my Etsy store where the book's featured.

Also, You will be able to buy gift certificates and raffle tickets very soon (by December 20, those two links will be activated). I will raffle several of my original works, and even if you don't win the grand prize, everyone who buys a ticket will get something special from me: a print, a card, a journal. I decide, and we both jump up and down with glee, because I've provided a lovely gift for you, and you're supporting me. Nice arrangement.
