Christmas postcards have arrived!! I am so pleased with how they turned out! All the pre-ordered cards have been mailed out already, and the remaining cards in my etsy shop! There’s a limited amount, so make sure you get the ones you want while they’re there!
It was such a thrill when the big box arrived from the printer, and my heart just pounded to make sure they were perfect! I also got some beautiful little bookmarks to add as freebies to each order I get this winter (those of you who’ve already ordered cards, yours are in your package!)
This is shaping up to be a great day! I got something special in the mail that I will share with you soon, have had such good responses to the postcard, and Krista Tippett ‘favorited’ my happy birthday tweet on Twitter! lol, LOVE her! And I am also the featured folk artist at the Folk Wisdom Magazine blog! Visit HERE to check out my little interview.
Well, have to scurry off for now, but hope you have a great weekend. Again thank you all so much for being here and being so sweet!~

Oh Heather, this sounds exciting!! I would love a book written and illustrated by you. Your subject matter seems like a perfect fit with all of the paintings you did over the past year with the Scandinavian influence. And like you say, you just have to put your best idea out there and see what happens. For sure if you don't, nothing will happen . I am staying tuned to this station…………….!!!!

Oooooooh….tomtens!!! Heather, I really hope you don't mind me FREAKING OUT at you, but I think we are long lost soul sisters, I really do. I LOVE TOMTENS!!! Did a big post on them last holiday season. I think it's marvelous that you're making your dream of creating a book come true, I've wanted to write one for ages and have never done it, also I can't draw, so I's have to collaborate with someone if I got serious about it. I would LOVE to read a book you'd done!!
