With a Heavy Heart........

I am feeling pretty sad today. Yesterday I had the sad task of having our boy Saki put to sleep. We were so blessed to have him since he was a baby (born in 96) but it's hard. He was like our kid and I have to say he was the "perfect" cat. Not a problem in 18 years at all. Nothing but a loving companion to both of us.
He will be greatly missed!! Thank you God for bringing him into our lives.....

New Cards

I'm trying to make my ADD self sit down long enough to list some new Halloween cards up on my Etsy site.
I'm joking, I think, about the ADD....

Far and Away.......

I've been away from my blog for so long and spending so much time on Facebook, that I almost forgot I had a blog! So....no promises for me to break, but I think I'm going to try harder to keep it up....I think. It seems  a good place to write more detailed info than on Facebook.
In any case here I am again, what, 3 years later??  Procrastination is my middle name.....
I am working away on my art and projects as usual. I'm so excited I am going to be featured in the Art Doll Quarterly magazine (stampington.com) in their Fall issue coming out August 1,2014. It is for their Anthropomorphic Art Doll challenge and I will post the issue here when it comes out.
In addition to selling my work on www.spookytimejingles.com, you can now find me on www.pfattmarketplace.com/susiescottstudios.html as well as on my Etsy site www.etsy.com/shop/susiescottstudios
So, stay in touch and keep me in line about posting and keeping you guys up to date with me!!!

Local Press!

I'm excited. One or our local newspapers, The Sierra Booster did a little write up about me and my shop. It's nice getting some press.
What has really been nice though, are the people that remember us from when we were living here 20 years ago.
I don't know if you can tell by the article but at that time we had a great Hot Dog place called Weenie World! I also has a tiny little shop then as well. It was a little country store called Zona Rose named after Don's mom Zona and my mom, Rose.
Anyway. I keep saying I will tell you all about it and I will. It's just that it's a long story or rather it's a legend. The Legend of Weenie World.............
That will be for another time.....when I have a little more time.

Whimsical Madhatter Snowman........

I've listed another new piece in my Etsy Shop. After I finished this one it kept reminding me of the Madhatter in Alice in Wonderland. Anyway he is cute and I have to admit.....He is a personal favorite. I will miss him.............. Good thing is I have allot more designs in my head just waiting to get out!
Check him out at http://spookytimejingles.net/userpages2.php?usersearch=susiescott

Oh Yeah.....I Remember!

Now I know I'm back in California! Last night at around 11:30 I had a nice jolt to remind me
that we are indeed back... There was a rumbling and a rolling and a rattling of glasses and the first thing I thought of is....Oooops, need to get prepared. I couldn't find my shoes or a flashlight or a radio etc. etc. Glad it was short lived but it did make me realize that we need to get some emergency things together..... it is easy to get comfortable until something.....happens. Apparently we have been having allot of little quakes around our area. Hope they stay that way....LITTLE!!
