Playing The Catch Up Game . . . Creative Re-entry!

I've been back from my "Dolly" product development trip to China and Sri Lanka for a couple days now and have begun the game called "Catch Up". . . with no time for monkey business! hehehe!


While I was away candle orders from my Primitive Cottage Collections store became quite backed up and so I began the first round of "catch up" by doing alot of dipping, dipping, and more dipping.  I've managed to make a dent in the stack of orders, but still a ways to go.  One dip at a time and hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll be caught up with this part of my life. 

Next up in the catch up game was the re-entry back into the office! Swatched!

My first day back after the 2 week product development trip and my desk, although clean when I arrived looked like a disaster area before I left. After starting the work day at 6:00 a.m. due to the fact that my body time clock is a little messed up at the moment (posting at 1:34 a.m. today as well) I managed to get a few major things completed plus was surprised by an awesome meal of homemade enchiladas and turtle bday cake (thanks to some special peeps in the office)!

Blogging...yeah, I missed this alot while I was gone and am trying again to get back on a schedule.  I guess that's why I'm sitting here again at a ridiculous hour of the night blogging about the "Catch Up" game.  And really need buzz The Hive...have missed keeping up with all my #twitterbee friends!

Pop Art Minis...oh, how I have neglected you!  A promise to myself that I MUST finish and upload all of the images for the 2011 Calendar Design including the elusive cover that I just can't seem to find time to complete!  Definitely will be DONE this weekend!

Along with the following list of additional MUST DO'S!

1.  Helping my daughter move into her new apartment!  (A definite decorating blog here...hehehe)

2.  At least 1-2 NEW Holly Day Pop Art Minis Designs

3.  Finish pulling together all the goodies for the Pop Art Minis Facebook Milestone Contest Giveaway Goodie Package (this one's gonna be big...thinking Celebration filled with holiday fun a few polka dots a penguin or two thrown in for good measure, definitely a Pop Art Mini ACO and something that will help you create a sweet treat...hehehe...stay tuned)

4.  Finding a new kitchen/dining table to replace the dining table that has now become my daughter's new dining room table! Not sure how that happened, but I'm sure it's gonna look cute in her new place and I"m looking forward to getting a new and larger set that will accommodate a few more people.

Thinking this might be the one, but I will definitely be changing out the chair cushions to something that is more bold! :)

5.  Cleaning and organizing The House...big CATCH UP here....eeek...maybe this one will come off the list until later! hehehe~

6.  Catching up on some more blogging fun...have some amazing pics from the travels that I am definitely looking forward to sharing!  Sneak Peak Pic...Elephant Awesome!

7.  New project that requires some major sketch time inspired by my trip as well...

graphic, bold, green? Yeah...gonna be soooo cool!

8.  Catching up with family and friends and maybe even a little continued birthday celebrating!

Plus, I think today is the day that my birthday pinata arrives and I can't wait to see what goodies are tucked inside...definitely will share that!

WHEW, so that's my "Catch Up" game list and now I'm off to catch up on just a bit more sleep before the sun comes up or is that the Chinese moon! Zzzzzzz!

A Holly Day Stocking Stuffed With Goodies Galore! New Pop Art Mini

I had a little free time this morning and desperately needed to be Pop Art Minis creative so I opened my suitcase (been traveling since the 20th of Oct.) and pulled out my oil pastels to finish up a little holly day stocking stuffer fun...a sketch that I had started while waiting to board my plane from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka!  This little stocking is filled with a Panda that has a sweet tooth for candy canes and a few fun and silly snowman ornaments that will definitely be decking the halls this holiday season.  Oh, and we can't forget little Mistletoe Mouse as she peeks over top of the jolly red Holly Day stocking and Sweet Tweet Sally Sparrow with a carrying a sprig of holly day cheer!

The details . . .

Hope you'll drop by my Pop Art Minis Zazzle store for more fantastical fun and join us on FACEBOOK too we're getting close to another milestone Giveaway and this one's gonna be a big one . . . 1000 Friends!

Have a Holly Jolly Weekend!

Pop Art Minis Happily Ever After Event Winning Entry

Congratulations to Leigh A. She received the most Pop Art Minis Facebook Fan votes for her entry in the Happily Ever After Event.  Part of the Grand Prize package included an original design inspired by the winning entry of a Once Upon A Time-Happily Ever After.  Below is the winning entry/quote:
 My happily ever after entry -

"I believe things happen for a reason, even though you might not see it at the time. 'Cause now I know, every plan that came unraveled, every crooked path I traveled in my life led me here, to your side. Could it have been easier? Yeah. A little smoother, right, maybe so. But lying here with you would I change one thing 'bout that road? No."

My take on the quote: We travel a long road and go through alot to find true love.  The Love ribbon that wraps around the heart of the big eyed dreamy girl is loosely made to look like a road with small threads unraveled at the ends, but being caught by the sweet "Love Bird".

Thanks to all who particiapted in the event.  Become a Fan of Pop Art Minis for more fun events, giveaways and Happily Ever Afters!

The "Love Bird" design will be available for purchase on a variety of fun products in our Pop Art Minis Zazzle Store or as a print in our Artfire Studio Gallery.
