So, I'm featuring the first, second and third place winners for a contest that was recently held by the groups The contest, titled "The Best Moment of My Life," was about portraying and describing the best moment in your life and was judged based on skill of the art rendered and the description provided with the art. Winners received DA subscriptions, points and features. Take a look at the winners and the other contestants. [link]

Can I take a minute to panic run in place? I'm just shocked at how fast the year is going. I'm really looking forward to fall, though. And Christmas. And crisp, cold days and a fire in the wood stove.
In other news, the boys are growing faster than they wear their clothes out. Dang, them creatures eat like horses! As for the actual horses, they're both doing great. Art is slow, but I'm getting a bit of my ability to focus on it, again, so hopefully I can get something finished. Oh, and will all the weird, vague health issues I haven't been able to pin down, it turns out I have lupus and Sjogren's. At least I know why there are weird and vague things going on.

My etsy store for my jewelry: take a peak, see if anything strikes your fancy.....hint hint and wink wink. [link]
