I Purchased Artwork.

I bought this off Etsy.  It combines several things I love.  I am now looking for a complimentary piece that features a caterpillar and a glass of wine (for balance).

This was a 'pay it forward' piece.  The artist only charged me shipping ($2.50) and only asked for a good deed for someone else in return.  I am not sure the going rate for artwork or what one should expect to pay for certain pieces (considering training, supplies, time put in, etc.), but I am confident this was a steal.

However, I will do a brief 'pay it backward' and feature this artist on my blog.  I really like the piece I purchased, and it looks like she has some other very nice pieces on her website.  Alane Holsteen, please note that, with this blog post, your work is being exposed to an audience of an additional five people (one of whom happens to be my own mother). 

I am still looking for a suggestion for my 'good deed' that I should do for another individual.

Hi Old Friend, Part 2

As many of you know, I recently ran into my good friend, Heimlich, the caterpillar from 'A Bug's Life'.  I ran into him again today - only, a much more matured version of him.  He's grown up so much; I am so proud.

In search of a tattoo artist to color him in and put him on the small of my back.

Another Old Friend....

So I ran into Heimlich, the caterpillar from 'A Bug's Life', while out for a happy hour this past Friday.  It was good to see him.  Here is a closer shot of his face.

Google Knows I Have a Thing for Caterpillars....

Loving it!
