Instead of an alien you "fixed" it into a teletubbie - is it Po or Dipsey? HA Fun page and Pixel is tooooo cute!!!

[Helen Lindfield]

Love the page today, and that stencil is fab! Welcome to your new puppy!

Perfect tribute to Paisley! When you started making the green dots on the top side of the inclusion I thought the large one with 3 small ones above it and to the left looked like a paw print and then I thought about what a page would look like if a puppy got into some paint and danced on your page. I had a dog when I was young and the all the green dots reminded me of the muddy footprints I used to have to clean up after letting him in the house when it was raining. Coincidentally we lost that dog when he was hit by a car also but never got another pet. Thank you for sharing your art and your heart with me today and bringing back memories of my Boo!

The journal pages are so gently inspired, they inspire me! Lovely. Thanks for sharing Pixel with me (us)! Again, sorry for your loss.

[Cindy Suda]

I have spent the last few days going through your site and various videos...can't get enough! Very inspiring...and so much fun. I'm just getting started in mixed media and I'm loving it! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

One of the last things I read today was about the loss of your beloved family pet and then through my teared up eyes saw your new addition...what a cute puppy!

[Lucie Hale]

Pixel is ADORABLE. And so was your page!!!!

[Greta]

Pixel is so cute! So glad he is helping your family cope with the grief of losing a pet so young :-(

That tool you used to apply the green paint has been named (by a wonderful Aussie gal called Kelsey) as a transdermal applicator!

Nice page!

Thank you for everything...
