super good news + vacation part 2!

sticki picki photo booth, irvine ca.

before i share with you my newest super good news, i just have to show you these photos! 

this one is from a photo booth shoot we did at this place called the sticki picki in irvine ca.

you jump into this photo booth and take your shots, then add all of these crazy words and bubbly bright images and backgrounds! then it all prints out onto this little postcard sized sticker card!  so much fun!

the side door, corona del mar, ca.

we ate a lot of really amazing food on vacation. but one of our favorites was at this place in corona del mar called the side door! they seriously had one of the best cheese plates we've ever had! and it's this adorable little pub where we sat at our own table right beside a fireplace!

and of course, the beach was amazing too! i just loved all of those rock formations that created tide pools when the tide went out!

shop windows, corona del mar, ca.

and i was totally in awe with these shop windows on the main street in corona del mar. i think i just might need a chandelier...

but one of our favorite spots on vacation, turned out to be our own private balcony! we moved the sofa chairs outside so we could read in the sunshine and watch the stars at night! completely amazing!

somerset studio gallery

and now for my newest good news...

my artwork will be in Somerset Studio Gallery's Summer 2011 issue! 

i am so thrilled about this! especially because the art that will be published is some of the first pieces I created featured my paintings last year! i just happened to add them in with my big box submission of originals last summer!

THANK YOU! thank you! everyone for all of your incredible encouragement and support! i just can hardly believe my art is getting published! and i cannot wait to see it in this gorgeous magazine!!!
