Snow Day Giveaway!

And here I was, thinking Winter was over!  Up to 12 inches of snow is predicted in my area today!  Brrrrr...at least it's warm and cozy in my house.  Wayne does a really awesome job of keeping the fire going.

   As of late, I've been addicted to "digital painting", thanks to this awesome workshop!  This is one of my first ones:

my sweet little Ozzy.  And, for those of you that may not know, he went blind last week...a side effect of his diabetes.  So sad for him, but he's way less upset about it than I am.  He never complains and seems just as happy as ever!

 Since it's been awhile, I decided to give a pair of these awesome "Night Owl" earrings away!!  All you have to do is comment on THIS blog post.  Lita will be picking a winner Monday [February 17th].  Good luck!!!

Stay warm and dry, wherever you are!  Happy Wednesday!

Light, Love & A $50 Gift Certificate!!!

Hello hello!!!  Hope everybody is enjoying this gorgeous Spring weather!  I know I am.  Every chance I get, I'm out there with my camera.  People ask me, "so what do you do"...I just laugh and say, it depends on what day it is.  I'm a jewelry designer on days when it's raining or cold.  I'm a photographer on days when it's sunny and warm and I'm a scribbler at night, while I'm watching t.v.   This was my little drawing last night, while watching American Idol..I still love that show.  So many talented young people out there...makes my heart hopeful.  And who doesn't love Alice Cooper and Elephants!

So I just decided I'll be whatever I am...as long as my light is still shining bright.  Hope you can do the same!

And how cute are these!  "Fried Egg Earrings" ~ I'll have them for sale at the "Transylvania Farmer's Market", along with this adorable little "Bacon & Egg" necklace:

Of course, both are for sale in my Etsy shop...in case you don't live close by.

I'm so excited!  One of my wonderful customers and now facebook friends, Nichole, is giving away a $50 gift certificate to my Etsy Shop.  All you have to do is comment on her blog post for a chance to win!  And, I'll be sneaking in a cute little surprise in the package, as well!  Good Luck!  Tell her I sent you! ~ Life is Good!!!

 My sweet little Broc and a couple of his friends came to visit over the weekend!  Even though they didn't stay long, I got to hug his neck and tell him how much I love him.  And, as luck would have it, we found an adorable salamander in the herb garden...so cute!   But the cutest is this precious little donkey that Broc insisted was a unicorn in disguise...you never know!

 I hope this blog post finds you well!  Seize the day!

love and peace always ~ Kathy

Happy Last Day of Winter!

But that's a waste of time and tears

But there's nothing I can do about it now." ~ Willie Nelson

Happy December!!

It's that time again!  Time for all the hustle and bustle.  Also time to reflect, time to be thankful and time to love one another.

Right now I'm fighting a nasty cold, but I'm pretty sure I'm on the upside of it!  I don't know about you, but any medicine that states "may cause drowsiness" keeps me up all night.  I'll lay in the bed, tossing and turning or waking up every hour or so.  Drives me crazy!  So last night, under the effect of Mucinex, I drew in my journal and started on my Christmas list.  I also got all of my little felt Owls ready for the Art Party next week!  They are so cute!  I literally have a "boat load" of them:

but I'm pretty sure the pink one is my favorite...I think:

Not to worry, I'm still making jewelry too!  In fact, I'm giving one of these away:

I love, love, love it!  Perfect for the Holidays...it goes with everything!  Just leave a comment on this blog post, or my facebook page, for a chance to win.  Ozzy will be picking a winner Wednesday morning [December 5th].  Good luck!

Happy Holidays!  Love & peace always ~ Kathy
