Honestly I am not trying to confuse everyone, but I had all my stamps lined up ready to go thru paypal and payloadz and then everything people were ordering were getting messed up...

Soooo I am sticking with etsy until I can ensure that things are working properly.

5 new stamps at my etsy shop.

more to come once my "honey do" list gets a few things crossed off.

Wednesday Freebie ~ Little Bear on the Moon

So here it is Wednesday again and I am hoping there are atleast one or two of ya out there checking my blog hourly for this weeks Wednesday freebie, well the wait is older (had to get atleast 2 things done on my "Honey Do" list before messing around in the computer. Here he is a little bear stuck on the moon. Hope you enjoy. Also thanks to everyone for the kind words and prayers about the job loss. More than just financially I really liked working there and had friends, which makes it worse. Oh well more time for drawing and designing. Just need to get into a schedule and get it all worked out.

Link is Here

I will have my Digi's moved over to my site from Etsy as they sell out over there. I have them moved, but the buttons are making you log into Paypal instead if just adding to a cart. I will get that fixed this afternoon...

Link is here for those

Friday This and That...

First of all a teaser of things to come.










This weekend is yet another dance competition at a local school, 8 hrs or so on the bleachers. Good for you all because that's lots of drawing time... lots and lots :(

Also gives me the time to work out the details of my design team...yes, all of your emails have not fallen on deaf ears... I think I have it though. I will try to post the details on Sunday night after dance recuperation...

I will be moving my digi's from Etsy, I have my own website and will just set up a page or two or three there, also if I do them this way they can be delivered to you instantly instead of you waiting for me and I avoid the fees and the chance that a stamp sells out and I don't catch it....

Anyone seen a monkey...

Oh wait here he is, Wednesday's freebie is the monkey I showed off yesterday. People commented on his smile, I have decided that he is either up to something, or he always brushes his teeth after eating a banana.

Last night I was working on some new designs and one of my daughters started complaining that all I draw lately is boy stuff, seeings both are dancers I roughed these out, still my style, but not really boyish... These are now digi-stamps at my etsy shop, sorry not everything will be free....
