Peacocks for the new year!

Well, I will be taking Pammie into the new year. She will be absolutely fabulous in 2009! She received some new friends in December, some of which need to be named still. The ones that were named were wonderful and inspiring!
I received many Peacock things for Christmas. My favorite peacock item so far is my peacock notepaper. It's so pretty! I love writing little notes, so the pretty paper makes it always fun!

I just want to wish everyone a happy start to the new year. For me, 2008 was a year of realization on many levels. There were great times and not so great times, as every year brings that. No matter what, we should all remember that things get bad sometimes, but they always get better. I will spend this final night of 2008 remembering the bad and the good, but will be leaving the bad in the past. That's what we have to do sometimes to prepare ourselves for the really good that is about to come. Again, we just have to be patient for those really good things!

My hopes for 2009 is a year of good beginnings. I wish the best to my peeps!
Peeps remember: Peacocks rock the flock!

Somewhere over the rainbow?

Today....

My book characters need a home. I still don't have one for them. My ideas are out there, but who is reading them?

I feel something good will happen soon. My talent and creativity is out there, but who will see it next? I am hoping the things I just sent out will work.

I am growing impatient. I know good things happen to those who wait. It's so hard to be patient sometimes when you have such a positive feeling about something. :) All the things are somewhere over the rainbow. Now...if I can just find out where that is.....

Rainbarrels and Pammie Peacock

Today, I just submitted my design idea for Edge Outreaches Rainbarrel Event. The event is on March 6th, 2009.

If my design idea is chosen, I would not only like to paint a rainbarrel for the event, but I would like to attend the Rainbarrel Auction in March. My husband and I were discussing purchasing a rainbarrel over the summer, and this is that inspiration that we must have been waiting for. We'd love to attend the event and bid on our rainbarrel and maybe on some other barrels. We love that this whole idea is not only about helping out the environment, but also about promoting art in schools!

My rainbarrel is about Pammie Peacock. Pammie Peacock is a character I created this year to teach my students the rules of the school. I currently teach art to elementary children. They absolutely love Pammie! Pammie has given me many, many ideas. Pammie is the lead character in a children's book I am working on. Pammie has many, many friends. Each character from the book is based on the people in my life, present and past. Her adventures are based on stories from my life. I believe her adventures will be a series of books. I am currently working on having someone hear my ideas and think they are as great as I know they are.

Well see what happens.

Till next time....
