A lot has gone on since I last made a post!

One fun thing that happened is DiPoe, my colaboration with Francesco Giovane, was featured on the site American Indie.

We're famous all over the world....even if its just the states.

That's MISS Tyra!!

Sometimes I think black cats get a bad reputation. They can be cute and loveable too!! Take a look at Tyra the cat.

Beautiful in real life...

and now in painting form!

Everybody loves surprises!

Recently when Laurah and Victoria celebrated thier birthday, I decided I would make them surprise birthday cards cause I'm cool like that. They're twins so they get the same colours cause I bet their mom used to put them in matching outfits when they were little...That's cute.

When you put them side by side, it looks like Laurah is giving Tori the stink eye. And rightfully so.

Random awesome person/place/thing of the week AND exciting news!!!

Random awesome person/place/thing of the week!

I come across some pretty awesome stuff in my daily adventures so I’ve decided to share them with everyone!

My first random awesome person/place/thing is…. SUPER SARAH!

Some fun facts about Sarah:
- she’s hot stuff
- her new favourite colour is teal (it used to be purple)
- she likes smoked salmon and crackers for lunch
- she has a cat (tyra), a dog (goober) and a husband (Richard)
- she is the nicest person I know (besides myself ;) )
- the mc at her wedding was a pirate!!
- she buys all my paintings

And let us not forget the most important fact about Super Sarah:

-she is an amazing hair stylist!! I know this because she does my hair and that’s why it always looks as good as it does.

If you’re looking for a new funky hair stylist, she’s the girl for you!! I don’t have any pictures of her work but I do have pictures of her, which should be enough to make you love her and want her to do your hair.

She's not as scary as she looks!

She always colour co-ordinates!Like a super star!!

And there you have it!

To book an appointment with Sarah, call the Cerilli Hair and Esthetics Salon today at 905-508-9400 OR stop in at 10520 Yonge St., Unit 43 in Richmond Hill. You’ll be happy you did!

Super Sarah approves this blog post... and grilled cheese sandwiches!

Sick.

Having been so sick for over a week, I haven't been able to get any work done. Instead I've decided to share a little tip with you:

When sick, be sure to drink plenty of fluids!

Also, you may or may not have read in an email that applying generous amounts of Vick's vaporub to the soles of your feet before bed will calm a cough overnight. That is FALSE!

Stay tuned for more helpful tips from Artwork by Laura.

Facebook

Good news!

I've set it up so that everyone on my facebook friends list can now keep updated on every blog post I make!

hooray!

I have gained some WIZDUM!

Well, here you have it my dears!

It took me a whoooole day to get this blog to look almost perfect. There are a few things that I would change but with my limited knowledge of html, that is just not possible. It’ll be like your best friend who has those few things about them that drive you half crazy but you love them just the same… To their face at least. Then secretly in your head you’re thinking of ways to make them stop doing whatever it is that drives you half crazy but eventually you realize there’s no way you can fix it. So you just accept it and move on.

So here’s me moving on…

For my first entry with the new fancy shmancy blog, I want to introduce you to something else fancy shmancy.

I know you’re looking for some sweet new threads to add to your wardrobe and have I got the thing for you! Its called Wizdum Designs Inc.

Creators Michelle and Emily have come up with some of the spiffiest T-shirt designs you will feast your eyes on. Not only do Wizdum T's feature a family of cute characters, they also offer a section of "That's me!" shirts that basically let everyone know who you are without even saying a word! There is something there for everyone. Trust me!

Go to www.wizdum.ca ASAP!

My purchase:

"Strong silent-type crew." Incase you didn't know me.

no title.

I've been so busy paint, paint, painting to post anything other than paintings! Soon enough I will be doing all kinds of crazy stuff! But for now, another new painting! Enjoy!
