the winner is...

(She has faith in her path, archival prints available soon!)

I am happy to announce the winner of  the One World One Heart giveaway...it is Artsy Rocker Chick!

The tote is based on the above painting...it reads She Has Faith in Her Path (even when her fears come knocking). I just want to thank everyone so much for entering; I was totally overwhelmed by the response. A big huge thanks to Lisa Swifka for putting it on and...I must admit, I have not had time to visit even a fraction of the participating blogs (there were over a thousand!!!). I will try... slowly, slowly to get around to it though!! Okay...mailing off the tote in a couple of days!!! A super huge thanks to everyone who left a comment on my blog! I was going to let Tara pick out the winner but there were too many entries so I used random.org!

(earlier today...me and my girl)

Hi from us over here...I hope you all had a fantastic Valentines'!! We are slowly semi-settling in... decided that we aren't going to unpack a whole lot of stuff and, except for my studio and Tara's nursery, we aren't going to put too much up on the walls for right now. There are still boxes here and there...waiting to be unpacked but my studio is almost done! Still have to set up my printer/scanner/computer etc but at least I can paint! Oh! And I signed up for Blogging Your Way by Holly at Decor8 ...I am super excited! And...I have to lose 10 pounds...I was doing so well when I was in Va. but I think all those frozen burritos at Miramar kinda' caught up with me:) My next post is going to be on juicy journal pages...tips and techniques and lots of pics...so please stop back!
