Good morning, Sunshine!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  My feeling about October is that it's nearly the perfect month.   Low humidity is one of it's hallmarks! But enough of the weather report.  The winner off Linda Larsen's giveaway of two pair of earrings and a package of copper shapes is Pam of The Crazier Sister! Congratulations, Pam! Please contact Linda for your prize. 

Andrew Thornton is the next stop on our Virtual Book Tour.  I'm so proud of Andrew.  He's living his dream.  Not only does Andrew make wonderful art jewelry but he is the owner and curator of Allegory Gallery in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Here's some local coverage on Andrew's gallery ....


I don't know if you remember, but I said that in this Virtual Book Tour you were not going to hear much about me.  Well, today's the one day that you'll learn probably more than you ever wanted to know. :-)  

Just a reminder of the tour line up.  If you're joining us mid-stream, please be sure to check out the blogs of Mary Jane Dodd, Gaea Cannaday, and Linda Larsen. You'll love what you see!

Barbara, I loved reading your interview with Andrew. I took your class at Art and Soul in Hampton, VA. I loved that too! I follow your blog.

Well shoot, I am a little late to the party because I had no idea this was going on - such a wonderful idea Barbara! I just went back and read the previous three posts and the pieces they have created is awesome! I am hoping mom and I have a chance to slow down so I can put some of your projects into play, but we shall see. I can't wait to see what everyone else creates on your book tour! Love it all girl!
You have a wonderful Monday and an awesome week!
