Christmas Gifts Festival - Conclusion

I am truly amazed by the wonderful artists and crafters who paid me a visit during my first annual Christmas Gifts Festival.  A big loud, “RUFF”, of thanks to you for participating!!

I enjoyed meeting people from all over the country and sneaking my Dad’s credit card to buy a few things.  But, don’t tell because it’s a secret for Christmas.  

If you missed our celebration, the Christmas Gifts Festival was created so people who had friends or family members who are dog or cat lovers had a resource to do some Christmas shopping.

If you’d like another look, do some more shopping or just missed the posts, here’s a quick reference:

Nov. 17: Sue Kottwitz, from "For The Love of Dog."

Nov. 20:  Cori Solomon, from "Cori's Pawtraits."

Nov. 23:  JM, from "Drawing Mom."

Nov. 26:  Tracey Ahrens, from “Tracey Ahrens” Tracey Ahrens

Dec. 3: Audra Jones, from "AJ Studios."

Dec. 5: Kim J. Gifford, from "Pugs and Pics."

Dec. 8, my human, er, Allen Pearson, from "Allen Pearson's Photos."

Dec. 10, DeeJayStar, from "Miniature Watercolors."

Dec. 12, Ana Grob, from "Ana's World of Nature."

Thanks again to everyone for visiting and sharing about your artwork and talents.  I am planning another celebration in May, first for my human’s 50^th birthday, but don’t tell him as it’s a surprise, (if you have any ideas bark them my way at  my email) and somewhere along the way I plan to have a Mother’s Day Festival too.   

Merry Christmas 

and Happy New Year

It seems that I have taken a journey all over the country, which is great, introducing you to many artists who create great gifts for the Dog and/or Cat Lover in your life.  We were just in Illinois, and now we're visiting Arksansas! 

Please meet Audra Jones who paints pet portraits. She began painting watercolors of animals 12 years ago when her mother asked her to paint a friend's dog that had passed away.

Since then, she has completed many portraits of pets- dogs, cats, and reptiles. Each makes a wonderful gift and keepsake! A 8x10 framed portrait starts at $135. My studio, AJs Art Studio, may be found on Facebook, Etsy, and at www.AJsArtStudio.com.

I look forward to meeting your furry, or not so furry, friend! Audra
