Here we are, at the beginning of the summer season - well, officially not for a couple of weeks, but after Memorial Day, we all know warm weather is here!  In less than a month, it will be our nation’s birthday.  On pfattmarketplace, we will be celebrating the Fourth with some special treats for that holiday.  I’ll be posting some previews in a couple of days, but just so you don’t forget, here’s a great banner to remind you of what’s ahead!

Yes!  They are certainly kicking up their  heels, aren’t they?!  This is one of thirteen new designs I have created for my first holiday collection for needlepointers!  Check back here later on in the early summer to find out where you can buy them!

Here we are, once again!  Tonight around midnight Eastern time, the artists at Spookytime Jingles will update for the month.  Here’s a look at what I will have to offer this evening……

These are all dimensional mini canvases with lots of detail.  Come on over tonight and take a look!  We’ll be waiting for you!

Yes, all of this on Spookytime Jingles tomorrow night!  We are continuing our holiday hootenanny with spring/Easter pieces, along with our usual array of Halloween and Christmas which we have throughout the year.  Here’s a little preview of what I will be offering tomorrow night around midnight, when the update rolls around……..

a pucker up moment for witch and frog!  Oh my!

Please join us all tomorrow night on Spookytime Jingles for loads of eye candy!  You won’t be disappointed!

It’s time for the Spookytime Jingles update, and for this month and the next, we will have a special added feature - Holiday Hootenanny!

The artists will have special Easter related items for you, in addition to our customary Halloween and Christmas which we celebrate throughout the year.

Here’s a look at what I will be offering for the Hootenanny - two rabbit totems!

I will be creating some different totems with animals whose characteristics you might find you share!  You’ll have to check out stj tomorrow night around midnight Eastern time to find out if you or someone you know is like a rabbit!   A small clue - you are able to move quickly, even in the face of danger!  Wow!  That’s certainly a good quality!

Also, for my stj update, I will have Halloween and Christmas……..

So come on over to Spookytime Jingles on Friday night around midnight Eastern, and see all of the holiday goodies from our artists!  I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed!  Thanks for looking!

Nearly Christmas, and with the rushing around, the preparations, etc., it is easy to forget that what I think we all want for one another is something we cannot buy.  This year, I created a special Santa for Reasons to Believe.  I am posting the link here, so that you can go to that image and see what it is that I wish for all of you!  May all of you have a quiet, meaningful holiday, and may you have the good health to enjoy it all!

Fondly,

Ginny

I have been away from my posting of late - between doing a show and the storm which hit us one week ago, there has been a lot of activity around here.

Now that things are settling in, I wanted to give you all a bit of a teaser about something big which is coming from Spookytime Jingles artists!  I can’t tell you what it is just yet, BUT here’s my contribution!  Enjoy!

Oh my!  Oh my!  It’s official !!!!!!!!!!!  My Santas have been accepted, and are now available on Reasons to Believe!  This is an absolute dream come true!  I have long admired the work shown on this Santa site!  Since I will always be first and foremost a Santa artist, this is a gift beyond belief!  RTB will carry my one of a kind pieces, and  I am in the processing of designing about a dozen more Santas to be sent by summer.  My body of work will be growing, and hopefully, you will find a Santa which is just right for you!  Stop by the Reasons to Believe site and take a look around! There are many artists whose beautiful pieces are represented.   Whether sculpted, carved, ornaments, or figures, it’s all there for great eye candy!  Enjoy!
