Wow! Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments! It was excellent to see familiar names and faces and a pleasure to welcome those of you who are new to my blog. I hope you continue to come back. Although I can't promise these giveaways all the time ;)
Congratulations to Terri, Art Explorer and Kathy Johnson, Artist on winning the giveaways. So happy for them. Jeez, I was wondering how I could win the giveaways myself. But, of course, that just wouldn't be ethical now, would it?
See y'all soon, xo Diana
Congratulations Kathy and Terri! Enjoy your prizes!

Oh, That would be great, Terrie! Let us know what you are up to. Just send me a private email. Stencils would make a fun blog post.

I have some kokesi dolls from my time living in Japan! I'll take some photos and blog tomorrow about them - right now I'm off to pick up 2 of the wisest people I know . . . grandchildren!
I do draw little ladies inspired these dolls and have a picture so I'll post it right now!!!
