EMMA finishes 2010 in a fever of packing

We had a few last minute orders to send out before Christmas---EMMA was almost stamped and sent to the outer limits via the USPS . She had never seen one of their delivery crates before and almost went out with the mail--Here are a few of the last minute orders. She was too tired packing to help with much of the painting--who can resist a new method of shipping ??

DINO makes the cut

DINO beat out EMMA this year as the face for my Christmas card-he is portrayed investigating my Nativity scene--EMMA chose the Nativity scene while perusing the catalogs. She will be back next week to close out the year with some of our latest pet portraits.

EMMA off to Texas

I was visited via e-mail by a couple of beautiful yellow labs from Texas---of course you know who had to get into the act.

She did not help me paint them on the overlarge slate--too large for her to hold on her lap but she almost got herself in trouble--
for a change in the packaging box. She choose the wrong carton this time so escaped going to Texas via UPS.
