Spring is just around the corner. I just got back from a quick trip to Florida, where the sunshine and visits with friends were very rejuvenating and inspiring. This is a photo of my friends and my daughter, Angie, having breakfast on the beach, just a few minutes from my house.Now that I'm back, I've been in the studio working on one-of-a-kind jewelry and collage for our season in Door County. This is so much fun - I love doing this! Also still painting for Prizm, designs for the 2010 Collection. No matter what the season, I'm always inspired to design and paint Santas. In fact, in my china cabinet is my collection of cherry plates and Santas, which is colorful and makes me happy just to look at it all year round.
Tigger is basking in the spring sun, shining through the blinds. My little guy. He's 8 years old and greets me like a puppy at the end of each day when I come home and sleeps with his head on my pillow. He's the only man in my life right now!
I'm going to France in two weeks and will be posting photos of the trip, so stay tuned! I'll be going to antique stores and flea markets, looking for makings for my jewelry and collage. And there will probably be another French Santa in the near future!
Love,
Pipka

Hi Pipka!
Just stumbled across your blog - so delightful!
Remember the Yellow Ribbon days? Mel and I are
great, still working - and would love to stay in touch.
We have several of your Santas - and I'd love to see your collage and jewelry -
Hope you are well - you sound fabulous - and are as beautiful as ever. Can't believe that 20 years have passed.
Blessings, Sue Awes (sawes@visi.com)
