After an emotion-packed month of suspense, disappointment, relief, pride and excitement, the FINALISTS were announced and my entry "Out of Many, We Are ONE" was voted by our community into the FINALS!
THANK YOU for your votes and support!
It is now in the hands of the Etsy and NASA judges panel. The judging will be done in the end of February.
I was tickled to see my entry next to my dear friend Christen's of copperleafstudios.etsy.com. I couldn't be in better company!
Make sure to check out her incredible shop filled with gorgeous copper artwork and stay tuned to read about the labor of love that she's working on!
I have just been notified that my entry to ETSY's NASA Contest has made it to the Semi-Finals and I'm SO excited!

It would mean the world to me to get your vote!
The entry piece is called "Out of Many, We Are ONE" and it took weeks to complete.
I hand-punched thousands of brightly colored dots from card stock and arranged each dot, one by one to create a space view of our beautiful Planet Earth from an image taken by a NASA Shuttle mission.
How COOL would it be for that piece now to go to the International Space Station on the Shuttle's final voyage!?
Each member can only vote once and voting ends Monday, December 6, at noon.
The response has been wonderful and I'm very proud of this piece.
To all who have voted, my sincerest thanks (including my family who I held prisoner on Thanksgiving Day after dinner and passed the laptop to, one by one)!...
I am always awed by the cheer leading support from my handmade and online community.
You are truly an inspiration to me.

I was thrilled this summer when ddots.etsy.com received a custom card request from Bride Tracy for a gift for her Groom on their wedding day!
Every couple shares many special quotes and sayings. When they first said "I love you" to one another, he was so nervous that he blurted out,
"I THINK I love you!"
She replied,
"I KNOW I love you!"
It became a little joke between the two of them and she thought it would be a perfect quote for her special Wedding Card!
I'm SO pleased with how it came out!
I am so happy to have been invited to share in such a special moment!

19th Anniversary Card for bellacosaart.etsy.com (check out Bella's incredible original artwork); I created a card with their wedding song by Journey and was inspired to create my own "Forever Yours, Faithfully" Bridal Collection! I had a lot of fun creating this card for Bella and whenever I take out the hammer, Todd exclaims, "You're not making another "Forever" card are you!!?" (It took a little more hammering then most!)
Happy Anniversary Bella and may you share many more years of love and happiness!
I was contacted by fellow Etsian, DeslynnWDesigns.etsy.com (check out Des' beautiful, tropical, eastern inspired Greeting Cards), to create a special card for her best friend to celebrate their Christening Anniversary!
