Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week! I would like to give a special thanks to those of you who left such kind and encouraging comments on my blog as well as the Pink Paislee blog :) I really appreciate the support. I have off from work today and I will be spending the rest of the morning at an Internal Medicine Veterinarian with my sweet little girl Gretchen. She has had an on going UTI for nearly 8 - 10 months now and I am very frustrated with my Veterinarian, so time to move on. I've been more than patient and feel as though she may be suffering. I am praying it is not some funky renal disease :( She is only 5 years young.
I took a little break from my DT projects and painted a girl to hang in my "studio" aka kitchen ;)
I am embracing bright and bold colors these days! They are definitely challenging for me but hey, nothing like a good creative challenge right?
She's made with a mix of stamps, paint, ink, patterned paper and rub ons. I dusted off and pulled out the Vintage angel wings and crown rub ons from Melissa Frances:
Recently, the local craft store, Michael's, had their brand of resin flowers on sale for 50% off so needless to say, you will be seeing lots of these on my projects! :) LOL
Thanks so much for visiting! Hope you have a great day! Be Sweet :)

Sorry to hear about Gretchen; I pray that you got good new today! Your project is incredible, Mona! Your best girl ever!!!
So sorry to hear about your sweet doggie.. Sometime don't you wish they could talk and let you know how they are feeling.. YOU She gal is amazing.. You are so good at those..
Hugs, Linda
I forgot that I wanted to tell you your new photo looks amazing.. LOVE IT!!!
Both your girls are gorgeous. I have had my old fur baby recently go blind almost overnight without explanation and can totally relate To the unhelpfulness of vets. Sending a wee prayer that Gretchen is sorted before too much longer.
I love that your crafting studio is your kitchen. Mine is similarly unorthodox but works well. Not sure how I'd go in a proper studio. I think I'd feel a bit isolated from my muses.
All the very best. Hugs.
Oh, Mona! I am so sorry to hear about your puppy. I truly hope you find a solution. Thinking about you!
Hugs,
Michaela

Wow....I'm loving' these girls so much I checked out the class and bought some supplies!!! Going to michaels for the rest and ordering the on-line class!!! Now, I'm hoping you've gotten some answers for Gretchen, she's adorable. We have two westies and looking at her (oh, duh...your screen name on SCS!!) thinking she must be a westie?
