A Late Halloween And a Facebook Give-Away ~

Well, I can't believe it....

It's October 10th and our Halloween decorations are all still safely tucked away in the garage.

This is the latest we've ever decorated for Halloween.

It's just been too hot and not at all autumn-like.

But, they are going up this weekend, hot weather or not.

I am craving the glow of Halloween ~ 

Spooky foggy nights ~ 

and ghoulish visitors ~ 

Last year, I was so lucky to find a conjoined pumpkin at my local grocery ~ 

Wonder if there's any chance I'll ever find another one.

Probably not.

Gathering the Halloween decorations ~ 

Adorning both inside ~ 

...and outside ~ 

We will make the best of the warm weather and dream of the cool and orange flavored days ahead.

Also, during this decorating weekend, I am having a give-away on my Facebook Art Page.

If you'd like to participate, all you have to do is stop by my Art Page and leave a short comment.

No need to share it on your page or do any such thing.

Simply leave a comment.

I am giving away a tiny tale print version of "Let's Gather the Stars."

Along with the art print, I am including the short story that goes along with it.  These two lovely ladies, Alice and Junie, are characters from the middle grade fairy tale I am writing, so I am including a short excerpt from the book, nicely printed on high quality calligraphy paper.

Here's the little story:

"Alice and Junie are gathering stars on this clear and warm April night. Junie is curious and ready to collect so many stars in her wooden bucket. She hesitates, but Alice assures her that all is well and the collecting night is upon them. Junie knows that tomorrow morning when she wakes, she will have a bucket full of wishes. What will she wish for?"

Stop by my Facebook page and say hi and enter the contest!

I will be choosing a random winner Sunday evening, October 12th.

I'd love to see you there.

Until Next Time:

Gerushia's New World

"The Welcoming of The Three Faeries"

Hello There:

Just a quick little pop in today.

Some of you know I'm working on a sort of fairy tale.

I've been working on it for years and a day.

It's huge!  Too huge.

So I am in the process of editing and shining it up.

In the meantime, I am also working on the illustrations.

The story is called ~

"Gerushia's New World"

Like most fairy tales, it's a good vs. evil story.

The folks that live in Gerushia's World are in a battle to keep evil out of their realm.

In order to get into Gerushia's World, you must enter through a window.

The window is guarded by Custodia and Hectorina

"The Window Watchers"

No one can get through the window unless they allow you through.

Custodia and Hectorina  aren't merely responsible for protecting the world from intruders.

They are responsible for protecting the world from the evil Serafine herself.

In Gerushia's World, just like in every world, there exists an evil power.

Serafine is the evilness that threatens Gerushia's New World.

She is the collector of sin.

A deceitful and fiery power.

It is the Window Watchers that keep Serafine on the other side.

This is just a short little re-cap.

But....what I'm excited about is that I finally listed a new, original, fairy tale piece in my Etsy Shop.

It's called:

"The Welcoming of The Three Faeries"

Minna, Duena and Verena are the faeries that help to protect the window into Gerushia's New World.  

They work for Custodia and Hectorina. 

The Three Faeries are the only residents of Gerushia's World that can go far beyond The Window, into the outer world of Serafine

They are the watchers, and listeners and the bringers of news from the outside world.

So....I just wanted to let you know that this original is in My Shop and can be purchased right now.  

I have steadily listed these original pieces throughout the years.

There are still a few of the original fairy tale pieces in my shop.

The majority of prints are also from my story.

If you ever have any questions about my art or the story I'm writing, feel free to ask any questions you like.  :-)

Until Next Time:
