there's a polar bear in my present

October 23, 2008

Surprise gifts
4 x 4 in.

Believe it or not, in between writing super lengthy blog posts, I have actually been doing some work over here. In fact, this is a perfect time to give you a head’s up that my 2008 holiday cards have been printed and are on their way to me as I write this!! I plan on releasing them the first week of November. And these little cuties are one of the two card designs I’ve created. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind getting these as presents this year.

Ok, then, I’m sending you more cuteness and joy today. (I couldn’t resist ~ it’s Creative Thursday after all ~ a day for fun and creativity!)
Happy Creative Thursday!

(original is sold)

by special request this image is also available a print now over at the Etsy shop.

Adorable…cuteness! I love it. I wouldn't mind getting these as presents this year too! Now I’m debating inside if i want to get this print now or if I should wait till the holiday cards are out in the 1st week of November. >_<

I love the guy with the box on his head! I find myself at a loss each year when designing Christmas since I have been doing it for soo long. How many snowman, santas can you make without going nuts!

By the way I took at look at the calendars and think they are well worth every penny, they are unique and if you want a boring inexpensive one just go to Target! Keep it up! By the way I am jealous of your self-published book and I am thinking of doing one myself.

The painting is cute and the title is so fun - it makes me think how it would be to get a polar bear in your present this year... I think I'd go for a walk and let him be outside before bedtime.

the painting is cute...so nice to see actual brush stoke painting with so much of the over done computer generated art that everyone does these days. It is refreshing!

best,
carol

About time for someone to take that bear out of the bathtub and wrap it nicely in a giftbox, eh? ;-)
