Good friends of my husband and I are getting married in Vegas on the 19th.  Woo hoo!  We decided to bestow a bottle of wine with custom-made label upon the love birds.  I made the front label with my new TC Stampmaker, a brown illustration pen, and pearlescent watercolor paint.  Oh and a few bobbles and bits of paper, of course.  My husband used his beautiful... I mean "manly" penmanship skills to pen the message on the back label.  Congrats to Scott and Susanna!  We really wish we could join you on your big day!

 

 

 

 

 

Iron-y

Yesterday I saw this little green plant sprouting alongside our rusty old shovel.  I was struck by the irony of the two co-existing side-by-side and made a note to myself to take a picture. Today I remembered the pair and grabbed my camera.  To my surprise I found that the little tiny plant had tripled in size since yesterday!  Another life lesson in itself.

Animation

The husband of a very lucky wife contacted me for assistance with a short animation.  The animation was a gift from Mr. Lucky to Mrs Lucky for their 10 year anniversary.   So my husband and I got to work on our very first collaborative animation!  So without much adew, turn down the lights and open the curtains cause her comes in the show:

I know a cute miniature Dachshund puppy who is turned 1 years old today! Like any member of the family - we like to celebrate with sweets!
