Ok – the first winner is me! THANK YOU all for the lovely, kind comments! What fun!

Congratulations to Shama-Lama Mama!

Because I’m such a pokey blogger I’ll still be visiting OWOH blogs for some time. And again thank you all so much for making this such a positive experience.

And yes, I am an artist though I also have a day job, and yes, I do live under trees.  I love to make vintage style jewelry and stitch needlework – I have a thing for pincushions. I also do shabby scrapping and collage. 

The trees and the tiny house are in the Verde Valley of northern Arizona -
