19 years and 1 day.


No job = no gifts, but we did enjoy our day together.
Josh commented that it was just like any other day, but since we usually enjoy our days together that worked out just fine. :)
We did serve up some grilled salmon and scallops for dinner so that was out of the ordinary...and yummy!
Aaron's Taylor got the first season of Pushing Daisies on dvd so we also enjoyed a bit of that on Monday and Tuesday night.

I'm still busy sketching and am not sure when I'll have any new original artwork to show you.
I did find a wonderful stack of weathered wood outside of my dad's shop yesterday and I'm hopin' he'll let me use it for paintin' on.
It was the most beautiful shade of gray!!!
In the meantime, here is something I forgot to share.
My silly old Party Time frog showed up on Cuteable a few weeks ago.


Thanks Lynsey!

And also I got the word that I was featured here yesterday.
Toot toot! (that's the sound of my own horn) :)

Anywho, I'm happy to say that print sales are picking up again over in the old Etsy Shop. Maybe because of my summer-long print sale, or maybe just because things are starting to look up out there.
We'll see.
Also don't forget about my first batch of Sugar Nellie stamps available at Funky Kits and about the lovely She Believed locket sets over at Polarity. I've heard only good things about these, although I haven't seen them in person yet.

Okay, that's enough of that. Just thought you might like some places to visit while I'm busy here at home.
Enjoy the 2nd half of your week!

  1. Hi Diane,
    Happy belated anniversary!
    I just love this frog. I have recently purchased some of your stamps from Funky Kits and they are a pleasure to work with - will there be more?

  3. Glad you had a nice anniversary Diane! Sounds very sweet! It's the simple times that mean so much sometimes!

    Glad your sales are picking up too! Do you have a line of greeting cards anywhere? If so, I'd love to know where and if not, you should :) I think they would make adorable cards!
    I'm thinking Hallmark.....kind of like the maxine line but with not so crabby sentiments! LOL

    Hi Diane, Congratulations on your anniversary!
    I understand fully...no job, no gift! My
    sweet hubby lost his job in 2000. The best
    part is, we are still together although we
    haven't celebrated an anniversary in a long
    time. Hang in there! Sounds like you had
    a feast for supper. We usually go eat
    Mexican at my favorite restaurant because it
    is CHEAP! :) Becky
