My Long Week-End!!!

Angela and I had a very nice, long week-end. I helped her as much as I could with the cooking she did on Wednesday and we had a very nice Thanksgiving meal, Thursday, that made me want to sleep for the next week.

On Friday, we took in a show, Cirque du Soleil: Quidam, at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, SC. There were so many fantastic performances! If any of you get the chance to see this show, please do so. You won't be dissappointed.

The rest of our week-end was spent getting ready for our final Arts and Crafts Show of 2011. We will be at the TD Convention Center in Greenville, SC for the Holiday Fair from December 1-3. This will be out third year participating in this show and we always have really large crowds. We have a corner booth this year, # 1331, so come see us! It's a great place to start and/or finish your Christmas shopping!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

New Hand Painted Ornament Designs by J Walls Creations!!!!

J Walls Creations has some great wood crafts, leather crafts, quilts, etc. Now they have some new hand painted ornament designs. These are going to be great!

I have looked at many hand painted ornaments but my favorites tend to be the more simple designs. You might think that's strange coming from an artist who puts so much detail in his drawings. However, with a hand painted ornament, I want one that will stand out on our Christmas tree and a simple design is going to pull the eye right to it.

J Walls also has some great wooden ornaments, too. Angela has ordered several of the wooden star ornament to use as gift tags for family members since you can have them personalized.

Here are three new designs that will be hand painted on ornaments soon.

Please e-mail them for more information.

We Have a Winner!!!!!!!

Thank you to all of the people who participated in our contest. We had lots of really good name suggestions for my first coastal drawing.

It took a little while to choose one but we felt that the name we went with described what I wanted the drawing to represent.

Our winner is RJ from Virginia! We thank you very much for the great suggestion! Please look for your free signed and numbered, matted, limited edition print to be delivered to you within the next week.

I'll post the finished and scanned drawing in the next couple of days. For now, here is the drawing at 90% completion with it's new name.
