Just wanted to share and wish you all a Happy Mother's Day!

SO I wanted to wait to share this with you because I just had so much fun doing it... My good friend Anna commissioned a piece for her Mom for Mother's Day. I didn't want to spoil the surprise, so I wanted to wait until her Mom knew about her surprise before I posted it :). Anna's Mom is a school nurse, more specifically, a very patient middle school nurse. Anna came up with a great idea for her Mother's desk at school, hopefully, this will motivate some particularly whiny students to get back to their studies ;). The base says "Get back to class!". Wonderful idea Anna, I had so much fun making her.



Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommies, Nanas, and Grandmoms!

Happy Mother's Day, of course, to those of you who have made a difference in the life of a child and given of yourselves unselfishly. After all, 'it takes a village'... For those of you who are valuable part of our village; Anna, Jessica, Heidi and Tiffan, Ms. Laura, Mrs. C., Ms. Jeaninne, Ms. Amy and Ms. Patricia, words will never fully express my deep admiration and infinite gratitude... XXOO, Katie

So just what is a Pooka you ask????

A new ornament challenge is coming up for the HA31 group, "Challenge Pooka". Since the only thing I know about Pookas is from an old Jimmy Stewart movie, I found some info on the web...

This one sounds like fun :)!!! Be sure to check out the cool offerings on EBAY May 16th-18th.

No fairy is more feared in Ireland than the pooka. This may be because it is always out and about after nightfall, creating harm and mischief, and because it can assume a variety of terrifying forms.
The guise in which it most often appears, however, is that of a sleek, dark horse with sulphurous yellow eyes and a long wild mane. In this form, it roams large areas of countryside at night, tearing down fences and gates, scattering livestock in terror, trampling crops and generally doing damage around remote farms.

In remote areas of County Down, the pooka becomes a small, deformed goblin who demands a share of the crop at the end of the harvest: for this reason several strands, known as the 'pooka's share', are left behind by the reapers. In parts of County Laois, the pooka becomes a huge, hairy bogeyman who terrifies those abroad at night; in Waterford and Wexford, it appears as an eagle with a massive wingspan; and in Roscommon, as a black goat with curling horns.

The mere sight of it may prevent hens laying their eggs or cows giving milk, and it is the curse of all late night travellers as it is known to swoop them up on to its back and then throw them into muddy ditches or bogholes. The pooka has the power of human speech, and it has been known to stop in front of certain houses and call out the names of those it wants to take upon its midnight dashes. If that person refuses, the pooka will vandalise their property because it is a very vindictive fairy.

New Sculptures for PFATT! Available on May 10th!

Just a quick preview (wait till you see, HEE HEE) :)! Be sure to check out the NEW PFATT RELEASE on the 10th for more photos! Hope everyone is happy and well! Hugs, Katie

Punkin' Doodle and Boo

I often get the question, How did you come up with the name Punkin' Doodle Boo? So for those of you who don't know where my funny little name Punkin' Doodle Boo came from... I am very pleased to introduce you to my beautiful Punkin Doodle and my handsome Boo!

"Punkin Doodle" is the nickname, my now very slender daughter, was appropriately christened with as an infant. She was a chunker! We had to clean in between the rolls of baby fat with Qtips, LOL :). Boo is a nickname, given to my son, on the day he was born, because of his big beautiful eyes, long eyelashes and tiny nose. He was very startled to be out of the womb! I was in labor, at the hospital for 2 1/2 days when they finally went it to get him!

Anyway, I took this picture of my babies yesterday, but they aren't my babies anymore... Boo will be 9 in a few short days and Punkin Doodle will be 7 shortly after.

AND the AWARD goes to....

I have been a bit behind in my blogging the last few days :)!

SOOOO, I wanted to announce my selections for "The Award of Excellence". My friend Mo of Wings and Paws Primitives gave me this award and I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to pass it on. I must say that the decision was a very tough one. There is so much talent out there and so many wonderful artists that I have gotten to know. These wonderful ladies are very gifted and very deserving of this award :).

Dani~ Ambitions Design
