Thought I'd share a little piece of my heaven with you. These are a few of the flowers blooming in my back garden right now. It's fun to watch people's expression when they see the garden for the first time. It's bright and tropical
looking....not what you'd imagine seeing 
in Oregon.These pictures even match my mood today!! Though it's pouring cats and cows outside, I shall put on my ladybug boots and dance in the rain!! I received the most wonderful news.....Miss Teapot will be published in the Winter Issue of Art Doll Quarterly!!! I'm thrilled and honored to have one of my art pieces included in such a beautifully artistic and highly regarded magazine. Color me....tickled pink!!
Warmest bear hugs, Aleta

Well OF COURSE you're going to be published! Um... duh, girlfriend. It's a gorgeous bear and so Stampington & Co. I'm delighted for you! And also a little abashed, because my entry won't even arrive at ADQ's Laguna Hills offices until this afternoon (viva la FedEx!) :) Can't wait to see your beautiful bear in the Winter issue, Aleta; really, I'm tickled pink WITH you!

Hi Aleta!!! I just came in from my parched garden and spied your post on my blog!! So good to hear from you!!! Your plants looks so happy!! I think your Story book bears are delightful! I applaud you for trying something new. Never give up on a new idea so fast, my goo-goo bears are a departure too, and I like the fact that they are ORIGINAL,,, and it takes a bit to have things catch on. Also, your little bear with the cage skirt, how fun!! HUGS Pam
I'm so thrilled for you Aleta...color me tickled PINK too and every other color of the rainbow!! :o) As far as your garden...well we wouldn't expect anything else, now would we girls? I'm sure your garden is a like an artist's canvas just waiting for you to create something beautiful.
Congratulations, Aleta...you deserve it!!!!
