Messenger, Illustration Friday

This little messenger wants to know if anybody else is ready for a new year...
Hoping that 2012 brings good health, many creative days, and plenty of good fortune to go 'round.
Happy New Year!

Separated, Illustration Friday

I recently separated myself from the blog for a couple of weeks. Though creating my blog was initially intended as a way to participate in Illustration Friday's weekly challenges, this year I've been blessed with visits from other bloggers who've reached out with their comments; some who drop in periodically and others who faithfully return.
Thanks to all of you! What wonderful gifts of friendship you've shared with me- I feel extremely fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting all of you by way of blogging and learning about your artistic experiences through your posts. Even more so, that some of you return despite my ramblings and goofy puns. Those couple of weeks went by quickly, without anything to offer for IF, but during that brief intermission, it almost felt like there was a part of me that was missing...

Here's to hoping you enjoy all the best parts of the holiday season! ;o)

Brigade, Illustration Friday

It's Thursday night and there's still lots to do to prepare for the holidays! Wish I could call in this flying brigade to help with the tasks which are mounting. Cross another item off the list- here's one to greet those who might visit and will double as a post for Illustration Friday.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Silent, Illustration Friday

Expressing my gratitude as the blessings of the autumn season are shared!

Stripes, IF

A late Thursday night quickie, just for the fun of it.
Sometimes things just defy explanation. Looking forward to next week's word challenge!

Scary, Illustration Friday

Barely finished with the Halloween candy, goblins and spirits, and the Dia de los Muertos sugar skulls and paper mache skeletons are just settling down for another year's slumber.
But don't look now...

Hee hee hee hee hee!
Ho ho ho ho ho!

Fuel, Illustration Friday

Who knows what spooky concoctions are brewing this month as we prepare for the little ghouls and goblins to visit? A little bit of this and a little "bat o' dat," add a few bags of candy and there will be more than enough fuel to create a cauldron of fun!
"Witch" reminds me, before I fly off for the week... I'd like to wish everybody a Happy Halloween!
