Hi Everyone,

Just finished this batch of ACEO's (Art Card, Editions, Originals) or Artist Trading Cards.  These Art Prints are mounted on Stampboards.  Glued some magnets on these so that you can place them on your refrigerator or any where magnetic.

Because they are locally homemade and multi media, each art piece has a different texture, sanded, and sealed.  I used different mediums and application techniques on these.  My ACEO's/ATC's will be on sale at the Holiday Art & Craft Fair event at the "Top of the Mar" in Nimitz Hill, Guam .... See You There!...

Getting Ready for Guam's Holiday Art and Craft Fair

I finally put the last coat of gloss sealer on my newly finished paintings.  Bright, bold and whimsical these latte stone boys and girls, red carabao's, and a place called Latte Stone Villa.  I think it's all coming together now my characters and the story line that is for these paintings.

Here is cute boy Latte Stone Pedro and his pet Carabao.  Pedro loves to hitch his Carabao onto the cart and go for a ride down to the beach for a swim on Tumon Bay.  Pedro is wearing his favorite comfortable blue t-shirt even though it is a bit worn out and oh ya he's gotta wear his Zories too.

Looking back to April - Anna's Bridal Shower

 Hafa Adai (Hello) Everyone,

Looking back the month of April was a very busy & exciting month for me, the highlight was that we had the privilege of helping design & decorate Anna's Bridal Shower.  Kiara my daughter designed the party favor tags, banner, and stars.

Jan Marie (that's me) designed the "Special Notes for Anna Cork board" and the note tags that go along with it.  In addition the Wedding party favor tags.   Anna's friends helped in a big way they are what made this bridal shower come together quickly.  They filled the purple & silver balloons with helium, used fishing wire to hang the stars, tied and fluff the Organza, and added lovely purple Orchids.

Who was spear headed this fabulous bridal shower?  The sponsor's Annie Benavente who was the M.C. for the event, and the mother of the bride-to-be Debbie.  They did a wonderful job from beginning to end.

Finally SPECIAL THANKS to all who volunteered there time & efforts, finances, etc. it is a labor of love, that made this this a special bridal shower for Anna.
