Hello everyone, I am returning from a weekend of hibernation... feeling a little groggy, but had to post this new piece. I titled it "Three's A Crowd" At the time I had intended on the third wheel to be them bright red boots invading on that sweet little bird's personal space. I think he may have finally found another bird he just may love a little more then himself. BUT, then I seen that daisy... and realized the daisy could easily be considered the third wheel as well. I suppose you can perceive the story however you wish. :)

Those are some BIG numbers, and are very exciting to me. :) February was a short month as well, and I am sure martha will boost march's numbers even more yet. etsy is on fire, and doesnt appear to be planning on cooling off anytime soon....
Well, I have some ACEO's I have promised to appear in the shop. It is bright beautiful, and sunny here. A perfect day to photograph them. I think I will be signing off to get that done. :) Hope everyone has a totally terrific tuesday. Please believe me when I say it has been ages since I have used the word totally. ;)
