Well, I got some updating done around here! It just takes so long and I have so many other things that demand my time. We are expecting a baby in April and I'm sure you can understand that's one thing that's been slowing progress, but we couldn't be happier!
I no longer enjoy selling on eBay, so my new paintings will go up for sale here on my site in the "paintings" area. If you are a fan of mine on Facebook (see below) then you will be alerted there first to any new paintings.
I will eventually be reorganizing my photography section. At the moment I am not up for hire to do portraits, but I'm still full-swing with my art photography. I recently made a new camera purchase but I haven't had an opportunity to try it out, so stay tuned for that, also!

We're finally semi-settled in North Pole, Alaska! I think I'll be concentrating on art for a while...

As you may or may not know, my husband is being transferred to Alaska and we're leaving March-April. Over the next couple of months, I will be too busy preparing to leave for any portraits. Thanks for your understanding and email me with any questions.

I just finished adding a few new photos to my wedding and portrait portfolios, the fan page, and "about me" page. =)
5/24/07
I have to cancel the monthly "free print drawings" until further notice. I'm just not making enough art sales to keep everything afloat, so I'm having to make cut backs, and unfortunately, this is one of them.
When they come back, I will let everyone know. For now, I don't know how long this will last.
Thanks to those who will continue to support my art.

Next month I'm doing my very first wedding! I couldn't be more excited! Most of my time's going to be spent on that, so if things seem a little slow, that's why!

First off, Happy Easter! Second, since we're trying to sell our house and move within the next month and a half, my eBay sales are going to be few and far between and I'm going to close my store until further notice. There are too many things going on at once right now.
However, I have created a DeviantArt account in the process. It may take me a little while to have it fully up and running, but I will eventually open a store there where prints can be purchased! I will link that in "Galleries and Stores" when I do purchase a store ^.^*
