2019 Holidays time!

We are into the holiday season here in Meridian and we have enjoyed being home and around family. We have been available to watch Anna several times and as you can see, she is such a little doll baby. She has grown and changed so much over the last few months and is a little chatterbox.
She loves her “Gran-pa” and “Gra-ma” and is always excited to see us.On a few occasions she has said, “ok bye momma” as soon as she gets in the house.
She loves laying down on the carpet with Gran-pa and looking at books. She really likes it when I sit on the couch with her and go through all her little puppet books and sing the songs that go with the stories (Mary had a Little Lamb, Bingo, and Baa Baa Black Sheep).

 Her gran-pa taught her a little trick with some of the non breakable Christmas tree ornaments this latest time of watching her. She was so happy with herself!
She is learning a lot about being polite and asking for things in a nice way like, “Gra-ma I’m hungry, can I have a banana please?”
She is also battling with her two year old instincts like screaming on occasion when she doesn’t get her way. But that behavior is quickly subsiding and she is more and more manageable and reasonable.

Our family Christmas is a little early this year due to travel schedules so we will be all done with Christmas on November 29th! That will leave lots of time to just relax and enjoy the season without all the bustle and stress. The bustle and stress is all happening now.
My ladies Brunch is this weekend along with Thanksgiving and my birthday. Lots going on but its all good things.

New artist website

patricialgibbonsart.com

This is my new artist website. I switched from Fine Art America because I wasn’t satisfied with the layout or the idea that I was just one of a million artists on that service. They put other artist’s work on my web page and the domain was lame.
Now I have my own domain name and no other artist can display on my website. I know I’m still only one of a million artists but I at least have control of my own destiny this way.

I have a show coming up in mid November at a small shop in Boise called Feather and Twine. And I applied to show my work at St Alphonsus next year. I am hoping I get accepted for that show.

Anyway, check out my website!
