I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year. I hope you begin the year well and it will be a great new one.

Personally I can't wait to put 2011 behind me. It's been an emotionally hard year for me. I want to put closure on all the bad stuff happing this year and start the new one with new faith, new energy and once again believe in the best.

Thanks for following my blog ♥

I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays, I hope you get to spend it with your loved ones.
I can't wait for Christmas eve, 2 days before and I am finally in the spirit of Christmas. It's been a busy December for me and I was very happy to complete the very last commission of the year this afternoon.
Now I just want to relax for a few days and do nothing but enjoy life.
I am thrilled my sister leant me her straigthening iron, it's been years since I had my hair straight and I was amazed how long it had gotten as you don't really notice when you have curly hair.

I recently completed Dreary Winter. It's the 2nd in the Winter Series and I used the beautiful Rossana Castellino as model for it. I wanted to keep it in cold colours to get that frosty feel.

This is what I have been working on past days. It's an old sketch I had lying around which were supposed to be completely different.  I love how sometimes things end up so entirely different - when drawings somehow take their own form.

I am almost done with her by now and hope to post her tomorrow!♥

Today I finally got my old program back and I can now get a new blog design very soon, I am currently designing it.

I hope you had a nice weekend, mine has been very cosy and spend indoor, since it was very stormy and rainy here.
I framed a few of my new wonderful cards I bought from talented Janna. There's a few of my own in the bunch as well as I bought one for my sister and mom:

I also got Rebecca's calendar as Zazzle had 50% off. I couldn't decide on Janna's or Rebecca's; ended up buying both. What I love about these girls is the fact that they are super talented and still sweet and down to earth, just like any artist should be ♥
