it's beginning....

 

This new illustration inspired by one of my favorite holiday time songs.

It's Beginning to Look

A lot like Christmas

 

 

I have my Pandora station set to the 

Christmas music station and I listen to it all day while I sit and draw away....

 

What about you?

What favorite songs do you love?

 

I am sharing my link to my Pandora station

Enjoy and happy listening

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the inside out

 

It's time to get your SpArKLe On!

Bring out the glitter and glam, it's the holiday season and it's time to SpArKLe.....

from the inside OUT!

 

When we have happiness and glittering sparkles

on the inside of our thoughts and actions, we can SpArKLe and shine

even on the darkest of days!

 

Come on and try it with me!

 

 

Creative Tuesdays - Starry Night

Starry Night is the theme over at Creative Tuesdays this week.

You might have to look closely here to find the three stars hidden among the woods...

but as in life,  sometimes, we have to look a bit more

closely for the magic hiding in the stars!

Giving Thanks

 

"Give Thanks to All"

 

This week is the week to be thankful and feel thankful!

 

Take a moment,

whether you are sitting at your desk, reading in your favorite chair, flying on a plane, or sitting in the passenger seat going "home" for the holidays, take a moment and think....

about all that you have to be THANKful for...

 

My Top 5

My family

My house

My eyesight

My two hands

and my life!

 

There has been so much tragedy over the past few weeks. I keep hearing stories from Sandy victims and survivors, we are blessed to have ALL that we have this holiday season....

and today I am feeling VERY thankful!

 

and 1 more of my "Thankful" things....????

 

That's YOU!

 

 

 

Back to Work with a Cute Little Scottie

 

Hello!

Today I am sharing a

a custom piece I am working on for a client's Christmas card - isn't Harry Cute?

Oh, just wait 'til you see Sally!

So, it's Monday and it's back to work.

After being on an unexpected hiatus, for the past 3 weeks.... the work has really piled up.

But, the good news is, I LOVE what I do, and am blessed to be able to get back to work in the comfort of my own home in my studio and do something
 that makes people smile, from the inside out!

  

 

Here's to a great week!

Gobble, gobble....

 

 

I'm Back....

Mr. Willow

 

I just wanted to let you know that we are safe

 and back up and running here at Rose Hill Designs after Hurricane Sandy.

 

It's been a long, almost 3 weeks, without power or Internet,

but we are officially back up and running...cable and all.

 

Last weekend the power was finally restored at my home.

It was a long, cold two weeks.

On our property we lost 10 trees, one being a beautiful 100 year old Willow.

The wind and trees ripped the power and cable lines from our house, the night of Sandy.

 It was 730 p.m. when the house went dark... quiet and cold.

We counted the days and endured a snow storm that followed Sandy's trail.

 

It's been a long three weeks, but I am grateful that my family is safe and my home is OK as well,

unlike many other people in our community

and our Tri-State area who may not even have power or a home for Thanksgiving.

 

Our shore area was devastated as well, and our beaches won't be the same for a long time.

But, we must pick up the pieces and move onward and upward

....rebuilding our lives one step at a time!

(This was how we felt last Saturday when

the Power guys came to our house to re-attach the lines!

YAY for HEAT)

 

Thanks for being here and ALL of your kind thoughts and wishes,

 I appreciate it more than you know!
