Better Homes and Gardens magazine and a give away




well .... Here it is !!!
my snowman hearts are in this Better Homes and Gardens special interest magazine ... click to enlarge
it's in stores NOW , I found the magazine in my grocery store !

I meant to write about this last week but .... Irene the Hurricane distracted me .
Thank God .... we are fine , our house is okay !
But parts of Connecticut had real serious damage . Hope you got through this storm okay !

so .......... I want to say that Etsy and blog people are WONDERFUL !!!
I would not have known the magazine was even out in the stores if it wasn't for JAN in Texas !
I didn't even know her but she was so nice to write to me and say "congratulations .... your work looks great in the magazine "
you know I'm a recluse , a hermit ..... an anti social artist nut ...... so if it wasn't for Jan I would have missed seeing my work published in this magazine
so THANK YOU Jan .... everyone say Thank you JAN
visit Jan's etsy shop .... she makes wonderful art , you will love her dolls

Finally > because of all this excitement I am doing a give away of one .... no TWO snowman hearts
Jerry and I will pick TWO names

oh ... one more thing . a funny weird thing . I never know what people will like [ stuff that I make ] .... what "I" like ... well .... some people don't
They asked me for Three snowman hearts . They published two ,,,, they didn't include MY favorite one .
but here .... on my blog .... I'm giving away two of MY favorite snowman hearts

just want to thank the people at Better Homes and Gardens .... VERY nice people.

So
leave your name , and/or a comment
and we will pick two names SOON .
can't tell you what day right now .... but it will be soon

Bye !

adorable vampire children ,,, original painting.....sold


a true story....

these two kids live in my neighborhood , down the street , the house on the corner
I don't see them around in the daytime
but
after dark ....... I hear them
swinging on the swings
giggling
creaking
back and forth
back and forth

The boy is Steephan , The girl is Valeria
weird kids , with really bad teeth
or
are they vampires
no .... couldn't be

this painting is in my shop [ with more details about the painting ]
the rag doll Sonya is still available in my shop
she is afraid of Steephen and Valeria

have a lovely day
