First- the holiday work floodgates have officially opened which means I am swimming in art commissions and photography. Yay for me! And yay for all of the soon-to-be-happy people whose faces will light up when they open their happy smily custom-made dog and cat gifts of their very own pooch or kitty! Yay again!
And big yay for me as this means more time spent doing what I love: taking photos and making art!
I have some really fun art commissions I am working on for holiday gifts and can’t wait to put one of them on my ‘current feature’ page, which still has Lilly on it (http://www.decopaw.com/feature.html). Even though we are done wih the proofs and the art is on order with my printer I have to wait until the gift is received because with my luck the recipient will stumble upon the site and the surprise will be revealed (very doubtful but I know that Murphy guy well and I swear he picks on me…). I’ll come back here and put up another post once he (not Murphy- ‘he’ as in the dog in the art- oh whatever) is online. 
Now- onto the art show this weekend. Oh man, whoever wins the raffle for the Decopaw gift basket is going to SCORE!!!
Here is what it is going to contain:
3 matted 5×7 (in 8×10) decopaw art prints: one bright and colorful, one avant-garde and one pastel (they make awesome little gifts and are so incredibly cute).
1 decopaw mug of Max the bulldog
1 fun and happy Cowbelly bumper sticker
1 magnet of Sydney ‘the adorable dog’
1 pretty tile coaster of Miko Flowers
1 6-pack of Holiday Decopaw greeting cards, with the ‘let it snow’ jingle lyrics on the inside
1 2007 Decopaw art wall calendar (I don’t have one for myself yet but I hear they are really cool!)
AND
a $200 gift certificate for a custom Decopaw Canvas!!
All in all- a $300 value!
WOOHOO!!!
The rest of the party:
We will have food (no feasts here- but it’ll take the edge off before your dinner or drinks out), wine, fun gift ideas, great conversation, a hip and happening environment, and of course- great art!
I will have bunches of the small matted prints for sale, as well as additional gift certificates with me. We will also have 2nd and 3rd place gift baskets for the raffle, filled with fun goodies. And if you haven’t been to Urban Beast yet you are missing out big time. It is the coolest store to ever hit Washington.
I am really looking forward to this event. Katie’s store opening party was a blast- there were some of the neatest people (and dogs!) there and I feel very fortunate to have my art hanging in such a cool space.
