My new website is almost ready! Look for it Tuesday, January 22nd at violetdaukstudio.com A new area on my site is a 'watercolor tutorial'. Even if you're not interested in learning the technique of painting, it's fun to check it out to see this painting process. violetdaukstudio.com/Tutorial_Gallery * * * I love winter, but is it Spring yet??? Once the Christmas and New Year season is over, I catch my mind wandering towards thoughts of gardening. This past year we dug up a new garden spot. Our old one didn't get enough sun and this new one is in a nice sunny spot. It produced wonderful veggies and herbs that I was able to can and freeze. We are still enjoying the fruits of our labors! This fall, my cousin split her perennial flowers and gave me a ton of them! Thank you Janet!!! I planted them outside the fence of my garden and can hardly wait to see them next summer. Well, that's it for this month. I need to finish getting things ready for my show this weekend. Hope to see you there and have a great month!!

Whimsical Daydreamin' News January 15, 2008 Hi, Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! This is my very first newsletter.
My intent is to send out a monthly newsletter with updates on what's
going with my art business - upcoming shows - new work - art tips/tutorials

recipes and tips. Whew! Sounds like a lot, but I promise not to hit you
with all the info at once. Currently, I'm preparing for our 5th Annual Art Exhibit and Wine Tasting which is held at Melvins on the Lake in Spicer, MN during Spicer Winter Fest. (Sorry I am not able to attend, my uncle passed away this week and I will be at his funeral.) I will have a little display set up with a sign-up sheet for a chance to win a print of my winter cabin print.
