I just completed a bunch more orders.... now if I can only find the time to update the site to post them :)

Next month I will be doing a couple of school presentations for the Estevan Humane Society's Be Kind to Animals week. It should be fun!!

Please note: I have been having problems with my email again, I have one order that I am not even able to open, which is a first.  If you email me with a question or an order, and don't get a reply within a day or two.... please email me again. Chances are I never recieved the first one.

Finally, the creepy ticks are out again to ruin my spring. I HATE them!!! Bring on the snakes, mices, rats, etc anything but ticks. They are just disgusting!! LOL

I got a pic of the Benson Rec Facility sign. I hope it come up clear on here.

Other then that, just plugging away as usual :)

I am having a Free 16 x 16 sign draw on My Space. IF you have  a My Space account be sure to add me, and who knows you could win a free sign.

Oh I attempted to release my skunks  today, but they weren't exactly cooperating. The funny thing about skunks is that you do everything on thier terms, lol.  Anyways, I plan to release them at a near by wildlife santuary, within the next few days. Please keep in mind, that these are not pets I am releasing. These are wild skunks that I rescued as babies last year, always having the intention of  keeping thier wild instincts, so they can be released successfully.

Skunks believe it or not,  play a vital role in the ecosystem. They eat pest such as mice, snake, bugs, and provide food for Owls.

I am quite behind on my blog, so I appologize.

It'd first like to take a minute to thank Ray Mooney, for the 4 more dog collars he made me. They are absolutely beautiful and you can tell he put his heart and soul into them. I wanted to pay him to make these collars, but he refused, and made them for me as a gift. On top of it, he almost made me cry when he emailed me flyers that he made of my signs to place up in local dog parks, in Pennsicola Florida. He is truely an incrediable person!!!  Ray is the type of person, who loves doing things for others , whether young or old. He has such a kind giving spirit which is very rare in this day and age.  Thanks so much Ray!!!

As you may have seen, I have added a letter of Thanks from Nancy Grace for the plaques I made for her twins. That was so nice of her to take the time to do that for my mother and I.  Be sure to check out her show on CNN!!

Kat Von D  sent thanks for her sign of Ludwig!!  It's a Rock'n  autographed photo. Of Course I framed it and displayed it by my computer desk :)  Here's to hoping on seeing her sign hanging, next season of LA Ink on TLC.

Diane Luthie was kind enough to send me a letter of Thanks for my donation to the UTM's Rodeo  auction.

The town of Benson, thanked me for thier sign at the Curling Bonspiel supper held at the  Benson Rec facility.

As well as the many thanks I've recieved from satisfied customers.

This truely was a month of thanks!!! Which was so sweet and very much appreciated. It lets me know I am going in the right direction! Every single thanks, whether it's from someone well known, or from a happy customer, is equally important to me :)

I started doing my signs 3 yrs ago, it was my way to try and share my art with the world. It then evolved into a way I can also help various charities and give back to my community.

What surprised me most though was the amount of customers, that I've had the priviledge to befriend.  I am truely blessed.

I would like to send a HUGE HUG and THANK YOU  to Ray Mooney!!  Ray purchased a sign from me for a doghouse he built for his friend Vicky. Through our emails, I learned that Ray was a very giving soul when it came to all those close to him (including his dogs).  So I wanted to do a little something extra for Ray, so I made him a magnet of his dog Oscar. I didn't want anything in return.  I honestly believe in Karma, and  I'm sure those around him thank him for his kindness in many ways, but I felt I needed to thank him as well.  To my disbelief, Ray took the time to use one of his MANY TALENTS and make me a custom collar for my dog "Ceaser", and even sent me some really cool sea shells .  Which is really neat, for a Canadian in the middle of freezing winter to get shells from someplace warm with beach sand still attached. I LOVED IT!!  Ray, you really touched my heart and soul. Words could never thank you enough to express the gratitude I feel.

As of yesterday I just mailed out my third annual donation to UTM'S silent Rodeo  Auction.  It was thanks to the suggestion of Diane Luthie that we went with thier Logo this year. I think it was a great idea, and hope it brings them in a bunch of money.

I am just waiting for it to warm up so I can start routoring  out the Sign for the Benson Rec Facility. My shop is unheated  and after routoring in absolutely freezing temperatures this winter, I decided to wait until it gets above 0  before I start routoring on a project this size.

Other then that, just busy, busy, busy making signs.... and I LOVE IT!!
