I am pleased as punch that three of my dog illustrations have made it into Robynne Raye’s new book, 1000 Dog Portraits, now available on Amazon. Woot! Woot! What a way to honor Emma Lou (office assistant), Sarah (angel dog) and Lilibeth (angel dog)! I just ordered a few contributor copies. I never tire of seeing my work in print. It’s one of those healthy addictions. 🙂 To celebrate, it’s time to draw some more.

I am so deeply grateful for my animal “children.” They are so loyal, loving, understanding and kind. They have healed my heart.

10 Things to help you survive the holiday season

designingfairy1 Comment

  1. A reminder to have dessert first: buy this comfort card as a gentle reminder.
  2. While you are buying gifts for everyone else, treat yourself to the Care of the Sensitive class, or another class to nurture your natural psychic and healing abilities.
  3. Schedule a reading for you and your dog/cat to help you both get through the holidays.
  4. Buy an original painting to make you smile. Visit my art site and escape for awhile.
  5. Sign up for the Fairy Joy email class. You can’t feel down when you are surrounded by Fairies. The perfect antidote to winter blues.
  6. Collect and laugh at your spam. Make a spam poem.
  7. Make a passion list to remind yourself of what you love. (see below)
  8. Celebrate all your accomplishments and small successes. Look at all that you are grateful for and what you have survived.
  9. Surround yourself with color. Did I mention my Color Healing class for Creative People starting in January?
  10. Realize this too will pass: buy the reminder here.

Gratefulness

designingfairy

Today I am just grateful…

…for all the loving support

…for prayers answered

…for my dogs I cuddle at night

…for dear friends

…for feeling safe

…for my fairy castle and yard

…for guidance

…fror the ability to help others and the gifts to help others

…and for the neighborhood rooster and crows who wake me up in the morning, because I’d probably sleep until 10.

Honoring Foxy

A year ago on January 31st, my dear friend and angel, Foxy Cleopatra crossed over. In honor of her today, I post these pictures. She has visited many times through this very tough year. Crap, if I knew the year was going to be that hard, I would have went with her! Gratefully, 2009 is over. She was a wonderful teacher, friend, and companion and miss her physical presence.

For the topic of Infinite, I kept seeing birds in my head, as far as the eyes can see. This is what developed.

geekycopyrightBig thanks to Etsystalker for featuring Emma Lou in their Ode to Basset Hounds. I wonder if Emma’s higher self had something to do with it.  The print is available at my store and would look fab-u-lous on your wall.
