Off to hibernate...

Dearest friends of my little blog...

thank you SO much for your kind visits and amazingly generous comments this past month. I am so happy to be a part of this fantastically creative community and it is always so joyful to me to visit all of you as well.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm off to hibernate for the winter...taking some time for life and family, and I just wanted to let my blog family know where I am.

Here's to a wonderful Fall and Winter, and I wish you all lots of quality time with those you love, and loads of time to create. Hugs to you, friends. ~ Shirley

I've spent..

a lot of time in my life...

worried about what others thought of me

about how I could fit in

thinking that I wasn't "good enough"

feeling shy and afraid

and not able to show my art to anyone

because of fear...

but I realize that I wasted time

precious time

and I ain't gonna do that anymore.

Nope, not gonna.

Here's to living your life each day to the fullest, everyone...boldly and bravely!

Transportation, the Jetson's way!

Did you grow up watching the Jetson's? I always loved their transportation system!

Sketchbook Project: some little sketches that popped up last night

"A little dip in the water"

"The Discussion"

I think I'm veering off of my "Day in the Life" topic, but I'm going for it. : )
Hope everyone's having a great week!

Happy October!

The Marshkateers™ (little marshmallow-headed friends) are ready for trick-or-treating fun! These little vector pals can be found on my treat box design at my group blog, www.welovetoillustrate.com.

The ladies (Nina, Jennifer, Cally, Bee and Julissa) all did a smashing job on their designs..so swing by if you have a chance, and you can download this little box here.

Thanks again everyone for your wonderful visits! I appreciate them so much!
