TGIF!

Don't know why I'm saying that...since I am in the studio everyday, except some sundays!
What a week...working on 5 different projects it seems. One is the "look" of the booth, two is drawing my main characters in detail, three is designing paper products, four is planning the trip, & five is trying to learn more about Corel Draw! I'm exhausted!!! I think it might be movie night...but before I go here is a look at a pattern I created...for my event!

In the PINK!

I've just finished sketching out my Booth! Ya know I think I really like it...& I it's going to be fabulous darling! It shouts...SASSY! I can share this with ya...it'll have LOTS of COLOR! They're gonna love it! I'll be Featuring a couple of 'Main Characters' in the show~but I'm also taking many of my other little 'characters' to Vegas with me...cause they just would not stop bugging me about being left behind...(yes, my drawings do chat with me).

I'm seeing Pink Flamingos!!!

A Glimpse...

flashy & occasionally trashy over '50' broad,
whom I have yet to name...got any ideas???

Baby Boomer Couple RETIRE!

After much sketching with my New 'sassy & flashy' older broad character...I realized she needed a hubbie...partner...a friend~so here is a Peek at him...(kinda looks like a cross between my Dad & Dr. Phil) LOL! Hmmm....names in the works! Tell me what ya think? He is getting packed for his trip to Las Vegas too! Look out...Wayne Newton!

2011?

How did this happen?

Where did last year go?
Yikes...!

I'd better get busy...
Today, I'm working on re-vamping my web site for the New Year!
When you can do anything...sometimes it is harder.
Can someone give me some boundaries?
I'm thinking of going all black & white...
well at least that is
where my head is at this moment!
Or maybe I'll just go out with the GIRLS and PARTY!

SNOW....!

I think it just might be a white weekend...
it's getting cold here!
We are making some changes with our Stamp company...
Shirleys2Girls. Kristine (sissy) & I want to delve into
new creative adventures so it is with some sadness that
we're Not going to be doing business as S2G as of
Jan. 15th, 2011...
we both have been getting itchy to try some new
things that keep gnawing away at us...Try me....Try me!
so here we go~

RAIN...RAIN...GO AWAY!

Christmas is over & the New Year is fast approaching...

I'm very busy with projects that need
to be done for the upcoming
Licensing Show in Las Vegas in June 2011.
I have a 10x10 booth...
that I have to create a whole look for...
so it means lots of creative jam sessions with myself...
Going thru lots of tracing paper, ideas & more ideas.
I'll share some with ya down the road.
The little striped birdie is one of the creatures going with me!
