I've Been Bitten By The Love Bug and It's Oh, So Sweet!

I'm definitely in a Valentine's state of mind . . . sweet treats, love, hearts and all that ooey gooey kind of stuff...passionate, pink and pretty! You could almost say I've been bitten by the Love Bug . . . or at the very least it's inspired my latest Pop Art Mini.

LOVE BUG!

There's a new bug in town definitely full of heart

Cute as can be and pretty darn smart

Pink passion wings and a big red nose

Polka dotted body and likes to strike a pose

This little bug has a bite so sweet

The silliest Love Bug you'll ever meet!

"Practical Magic" Inspired Potion Bottles...Magic, Dreams, Wishes!

Welcome to my little contribution to the Practical Magic Blog Party.  Inspired by the movie I have created three potion bottles labeled with things that I think would add to creating the perfect spell.  Like the "true love" spell that was created in the movie these little bottles contain ingredients for Magic, Dreams and Wishes!  Magic of course...the largest of the bottles with a tiny pocket watch attached reminding us it's always time for a dose of good magic. Dreams...without dreams we can go nowhere and inside the bottle you will find tiny gold stars...those special dreams that you carry with you forever!  And wishes...a dash at the very least!  The other little goodies in the photos are a few treasured trinkets that make my "Practical Magic" potion a little more fun . . . pictures of my inspiration, my Mom when she was a little girl full of Dreams, wishes and magical fun, a fairy compact that was a treasure found in my Grandma's jewelry box and passed down to me and a key to unlock the power of the potion! 

Please visit the main blog post where you can find links to all of the wonderful Practical Magic Blog Party! Enjoy the broom ride on this Sept. 25, 2010 adventure and celebration of a most magical movie and book! I myself am now off on this ride as well!

Brooms...up, up and away!

Here's a peek of the Love Potion scene from the movie...LOVE this scene!

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.
