Explanation...

HI

Sorry that this blog is so neglected, but it's a problem of pain that I'm having with my hands, plus what's called Dupuytren's Contracture. (I decided to spare you the photos:) I've been seeing one specialist after the other...The tissue, not joints, are swollen and the swelling does not go down. I've tried almost everything, including leaving the computer alone. So, appreciate your prayers and as Arnold would say, "I'll be back."

A couple of Grandchildren and John...and a sweet gift from my printing company...I'm feeling a bit like Snow White :)

A Fed Ex package arrived and inside was this beautiful basket of wonderfully crisp Wisconsin apples, with some cute gummy worms added for effect. This is from our new printing company. Wasn't that nice of them? How thoughtful! (Bare spots in the basket...'cuz we've eaten quite a few, I just happened to have Caramel Dip in the fridge:)

She really does not take bad pics. Little Trixie in the Living Room...

This is our Pastor, he brought us this big pumpkin and I sent home a pumpkin bake with him fresh out of the oven. Thanks Scott!

Our second oldest grandchild. She is almost as tall as Grandpa here and he's 6'2. Catching up!

Her little brother is staying with us for 2 nights. He and Trixie love each other, she's just his size and a good little friend to play with.

And the winner is.....

This is kinda' funny, my random generator (I call him John) picked number 1. It's Sara Mincy who I just wrote a feature on over at my other blog Faith Folk Cafe

Thanks to you all for playing and hope they are able to help the dogs in distress due to foreclosure. Congrats Sara!!!!!

Please pray for Tina...

September...In Honor of all those who perished on 9/11

I can't let this day pass without a tribute of some kind to my fellow Firefighter's everywhere, but especially in NYC. We all know the images of that horrible day, they are burned into our minds, so I did not want them to be in my post. And I could not find the perfect song until I remembered this song from my youth. My mom and sister's and I used to sing it and it is something lovely.
"Greater love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his brother."

And the contest winner is....

Melissa at Gillfish Blog Designs which is in Northern Ireland! Let me know your address and the print that you'd like and I'll sign and send it over the big waters to your home :) I am Scotch/Irish!!! Congratulations Melissa.

Thanks everybody for making this such fun.

Last Day of Give Away...just leave a comment!

Give Away until the end of the month...

A new Painting Is Finished...

Fighting Over Shoes...is my brand new, hot off the paintbrush, piece of artwork. We don't have prints yet, she's that new, but if you win the contest below and want to choose her I'll send her when she's ready. Now I am working on a gardening piece. I finally got every single piece sent to Legacy for the 2010 catalog so now I can think up my own fun stuff to paint again :) This is watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink and pencil. Hope you like her...and her little dog too! Ahhhhaaaahhhaaaahhhaaaa!!!!

A friend of mine is having a wonderful GiveAway...me too!

My Inner Child Is Skinny...

If you blog-hop over to The Polka Dot Barn you can enter to win a fabulous prize and be the envy of friends and neighbors. Really, she is giving away a $65 banner that is beautiful. Jan is a doll and I know you'll love her site if you have not already been there. And tell her Pam sent you.

A large outdoor Show that I did last summer called Cranfests

Warrens Cranberry Festival in Warrens Wisconsin

Last year I found that the Warrens Cranberry Festival did live up to the hype. Although it does cost more than an average craft show, this is a bazillion times bigger than the "average" craft show and the shoppers are dedicated...to shopping! And it's right my own back yard, or at least, in the same state that I live in :)
Personally, I'm not doing craft shows any longer as I now participate in the Wholesale Trade Shows and Markets (June in PA again, where I will be selling my framed prints and doing demonstrations of my take on American Folk Art. I'll also be at Madison for my second show there).

Warrens is a little town in Southern WI with a population of app 300... but overnight jumps to over 100,000!!! There are app. 1500 vendors, which includes vintage and antique dealers, so the rest are shoppers, coming to see YOU! We set up our tent in 2008 and it was an awesome experience.
Here are some photos I took so you can get the inside peek.

Arrive well before the break of dawn each day. This is my aisle, my tent's down on the right. Be prepared to work hard with little sleep, non-stop for 3 days (4 including set up and take down).

Same aisle a few short hours later :) Happy Shoppers!

Out on one of the streets...

This darling little village has a normal pop. of 300, remember... this photo shows only one of the streets at the festival.

Last day! People are starting to pick out spots on grass for the awesome parade. Others don't stop shopping...for anything! Many of the top competing marching bands from around the entire Midwest are in the parade. It lasts for hours and is non stop WONDERFUL! I kept sneaking out whenever I could to watch :)

Customers picking out their purchases in my tent...I wish I could bottle the laughter at my booth.

Mrs. Wisconsin was a wonderful woman to chat with and a great customer. I sign and personalize my prints. (She returned for more the next day :) Multitasking was just a normal part of each day, as I help another customer while signing her purchases.

Hope you enjoyed an inside peak into Warrens Cranberry Festival, we're going back...maybe we'll see you there.

Pam

Home from PA...Editor of Country Business Magazine...

Susan Wagner and I

More photos will follow. Getting orders out now. A FUN trip with husband and oldest granddaughter. Great weather, swam in the ocean, met new people. God's good!

Photos from the Trade Show in Madison, Wisconsin...

We sell these great signs...made out of PVC.
These photos were taken before the Trade Show opened.

Not a very good pic. but here are the coffee/tea mugs that we sell...

Looking down our aisle...We're on the left at the front for this show.

My home away from home...

Tee's, Mugs, Signs, Framed Prints...and by God's grace, we're still growing :D

Some family photos: My daughter with the long dark hair.
(I'm cropping out my daughter-in-law cuz she hates this pic.
I hope she does not see this before I get to it. Yikes!!!!!)

My youngest son...All our boys live to fish!

Oldest granddaughter...

Next oldest granddaughter...the "artsy" one! Princess of the Palette.

Oldest son with the sunglasses on his head! He's a great man of faith.
It's very weird because I am very young and yet I have all these old children!

Well, I hope you enjoyed a peek into my world as it is today. We're missing a few grandchildren in this group, but we'll get to them another day.
It was a very good show and we have many new stores carrying my work around the country. If you sell your artwork wholesale you should think about doing this one. NEXT STOP...Pennsylvania!

Next stop...East Coast!

Dbl click pic to enlarge...I'm Fun AND Whimsy, but you knew that!

Soon I'll be heading out to King of Prussia, PA. Come on out and see me. Give-aways daily and demonstrations too... the Madison show was good. Kerry outdid himself and I had a wonderful spot! Thank you Kerry. Hope to see all of you store owners in PA for the order writing.

P.S. The first song on the playlist is for my mom who is recovering from her back injury, she's home with nursing care. We used to sing this together in the car way back in the 1970's. A big old station wagon flying down the Kennedy Express, "I say Doctor, aint there nothing I can take..."

I've missed you all...update! Another Update on MOM

My mom with her beautician 2009

I've been here but taking care of my mother. She fell and crunched a back bone...2 more days and then my shows start and she's home. Just wanted to let you all know where I've been hiding out.
She's home and doing well. Talk to her almost daily. Thanks for your prayers. Keep them coming.

Two Trade Shows I'll Be At In June...I'd love to meet you!!!

Oz comment contest is still going on. To enter, scroll down and leave a comment on that post only.

Here's the full page ad. Market Square Midwest used one of my paintings :)

TRADE SHOWS COMING UP...

(photo above is one of the initial set ups for my work in a print ad)

First I'll be in Madison, Wisconsin for the Mid-West Market Square, June 14th and 15th. We'll have great show specials and Give-Aways. There is a Cash and Carry going on in conjunction with order writing.

Next I'll be heading out to PA for the Market Square Valley Forge . I've been asked to demonstrate my take on American Folk Art at the PA show on June 25th - 28th . I'll have show specials and Give-Away surprises daily. Insider Peek: For some of the demos I'll be painting with coffee. The originals SMELL great!!!! PLUS, everyone that stops by can put their store's name in the hat to win the first print that comes off the presses for each painting I finish at the show.

My take on American Folk is kind of like the story of the 3 bears. In one little camp I'm considered a bit too cute-sie. In the other little camp my artwork is too odd (women with hair like fried-wire and pointy feet?).
Thankfully the rest all consider me Just Right!

Bring your May/June Country Business Magazine to any of my booths and I'll happily sign Midwest Market's full page ad featuring my artwork on page 57. (Talk about being tickled pink)
And please be sure to check out my ad on page 71.

Hope to see you there, both are great Trade Shows.

(You must have a tax id to attend trade shows. I'm blogging about it for those who are just plain interested in what I'm up to and for those who have stores and can possibly attend :)

Click on the buttons below, Three Give-Aways. A Deer In The Headlights!!!

She was the first painting that I ever did using coffee as "paint". There are also watercolors, acrylic and pen & ink involved.
My love of painting with coffee took root when she was finished and stood there staring back at me like a deer caught in the headlights. Do you feel like the fairies stolen your sanity too? You're not alone, I'm right there with you somedays :) If you'd like to win a signed print of her, just leave me a comment on this post. You can comment until the end of the month :)
P.S. I won a Give-Away at this sweet blog, take a peek here: Dandelion Wishes Thanks, Mimi!

SUGAR BUGS

I've got a new baby blog started, it's a wholesale blog for some fresh and new prints I'm doing. A different look to be sure. It was a concept I've been rolling around in my head, then scratching and scribbling little bits of the idea onto paper here and there-for over a year. Finally, I began to paint. They will probably not all be keepers, but as the designs come to life I'm adding them to the site. In the long run I don't know, which ones will stay and which ones will be given the proverbial boot!

The prize for joining my Followers group and leaving a comment (on this post only) is this hand-painted JOY bookmark (on the left of the page) from this new collection of mine called, Sugar Bugs!!!

If you are already on the Followers list already, just leave a comment. After you are on the Followers list you can enter by comment (on this post) as often as you'd like. I'd love to hear which ones are YOUR favorites.

Mon. April 6th Give-Away Deadline...

See post below to sign up. Monday night the Give-Away will be over :)

Tickled Pink...a few pics from the computer...Give Away

So...right after the newsletter came out and popped up on my computer I posted about it. Then, right after that (see post below if you're getting in on this conversation a little late), Jane from Persimmon Tree on 3rd St. called to discuss her order...as I said, I'm tickled pink about being in this new store. And...she remembers my Grandmother! I did a happy dance in my kitchen :)

Here's a link to take a peek: Persimmon Tree/Pam Warden Art

And here's a link for the Give-Away still going on 2 posts down, or click here : Sugar Bugs

VIKINGS:We interupt this article on Sugar Bugs for an annoucment...

My hometown of Geneva, Illinois...the shopping Mecca of the Midwest, the Illinois version of Beverly Hills surrounded by bovine, the place where I was blessed enough to call home growing up, has included a mention of me in their Economic Development Newsletter! Actually it was a gal named Ellen who heads this up. Ellen emailed me and we were talking about shows, but at one point I mentioned that I'd love to be in a store in my hometown and then I told her about Country Business list's of wholesale shows. (I'm sure that was not big news to her since she's in the town next door to where they publish Country B. Yeah, I call it Country B now cuz we're tight, or I'm delusional) Anyway...here's the sweet thing I got in the mail today that Ellen did for me! Check out this link Geneva Economic Development Newsletter

Geneva Posts...And the winners are....

The TWO winners for the signed print Give-Away below are: Cheri from Defining Moments and Kathy over at Kathy's Red Door Welcome. Congratulation you guys and thanks to you all for playing along :) The next prize will be an original bookmark. Yep, a hand-painted watercolor/pen and ink, one of a kind and signed. It will be in conjunction with introducing my new spring cards. FUN!

Buckets of Blessings,

Pam

Time to wrap up the Give-Away...enter by 9 p.m. tonight (WI time)

What does this picture have to do with the Give-Away? Not a thing, just thought you might get a kick out of this old photo of me riding a stuffed horse on the famous Route 66 in 1957.

See the post below and please feel free to sign up. Tonight's the the deadline for sign up, drawing at 9 p.m.

Give-Away & My Art Was Chosen to Represent the Midwest Markets...

These and other ads will be out in June but here's a sneak peak of one of the mock-ups that Lisa was playing with...

Wow, am I thankful today for this. Double click to get a nicer pic of the images...

Lisa, from Market Square Midwest, has been working with some of my images for all the bazillion mailers, brochures, magazine ads and the front of directory's they put out...but I didn't say anything to you guys because they weren't sure if mine would be picked (lots more Artists out there dontcha' know :) But, she just called, they are going with mine...

Kerry is the man who runs the show and he recommended me. Thanks Kerry and Lisa. I'm honored.

Anyhow, she just called and they are going with my, Let It Melt piece. Because in the trade the stores will be shopping for Christmas already!!! Yep, it's not even the middle of March, but that's how store owners have to work/shop for their upcoming seasons. (That reminds me...I'm gonna miss my shop this summer).

Would you like to win this gal? Just leave a comment on this post...but wait, I'm giving away TWO!!! One group will be made up of those of you who leave only a comment the second group are those who leave a comment and blog about this with a link.

The second group C and B will get your name in both groups, plus there will be a second drawing from just that comment and blog group alone. This is for 2 signed pieces, one for each winner. And if the comment and blog group winner reminds me when these come out, I'll sign one of the cool mailers and send it to you too. Fun! It makes sense in my mind :) Please let me know in your comment if you are mentioning this give away in your blog or not. Thanks!

WIN ME!

On an other note...are you all losing TV stations too? We have satellite and we're still losing them. If you get a new digital TV will that do the trick? We're getting the box...but the satellite company wants to sell us a special antennae for $180. I'll go with the new television if that will work. Let me know if you have some insight on this.

Slide Whistle dilemma solved...after I changed my playlist...ugh! It was a game I had at the bottom of the blog. Deleted it and the horribly annoying Whooooooop! is gone.

I am SOOOO thankful.

I'm a OWOH winner... the Snow Angel our little dog made...and a BIG FAT FUN FOR ALL ETSY SALE!!!

Snow Angel by The Dog

Here's a photo of a scene we woke up to this morning. We let our little dog out (14 pound Toto dog) and later on in the morning I looked out the kitchen window and was just gob smacked! See his cute little paw prints? Awwwww!!! He'd made a darling Snow Angel. (I think it was meant for us to send to his new friend Sparkles in Madison ;-) Has anybody else ever had a dog "make" something artistic??? Please post and let us all know.

Next, is a link to the beautiful necklace that I won in the OWOH Gypsy Caravan. Check out Lisa's blog, it's beautiful, and you antique button lovers are going to really enjoy her photos. Thanks so much Lisa. Click on: My pretty necklace link.

Third...Finished signing the rest of the prints from the PA Wholesale show. With each purchase they would receive a certain amount of free, signed prints. A bit late, but John was in the hospital for a week in between.

And finally, I'm having an ETSY SALE of my signed prints, buy 1 get 1 FREE.Order 1 and then convo me with the name of the FREE one you'd like and I'll ship it with the paid order. This ends on Sat. the 20th. Hey, if you didn't win my OWOH, you still at least can get a free print :-)NO LIMITS-If you buy 4, get 4 FREE :-) And all with FREE SHIP.

A Valentine's message to you from Pam Warden Art...

A sweet present from my husband...I LOVE watching, The Office! What a great gift to receive, he must have shopped in the pharmacy or really thought ahead.
He's so sweet. I've put 4 special love songs at the top of my playlist and Nights in White Satin...years ago John took me to that concert.

We are home for now...and a OWOH winner's been chosen...

WINNER: My random generator that I lovingly call, John....just chose the number and her name is Terry Spier at the Magic Beadstalk So, there's a link for you Terry and congrats and as I said on your site, I need your address. Out of 375 you were #52.

HOSPITAL UPDATE: Thank you all for your kindness... leaving notes and prayers. We are home, lots of meds and if he can stay relatively well we will go back in 4 weeks. Then the hospital will perform biopsy's on each lung again to see if the rejection has stopped. For those of you who are praying, please continue...

Happy Valentine's Day to you ALL!!!!!!

Please Pray

I'm supposed to be picking a winner today for OWOH, but my husband is in the hospital and being treated for rejection of his transplanted lung. Somedays he does well like today, and other days, not so well. Please pray for us.

Love you all...Pam

Back from the PA show....

Hello Again...

We're back from the PA Folk Art show and it went really well. We now have over 28 new stores that carry my work on the East Coast! It was a long trip and a lot of work but worth every moment. If you saw the news about their weather you might have seen us...yep, we were in the little Jetta, high up in the mountains, at night, in the blizzard...Faith Stretching!

I was so delighted to meet editor Susan Wagner of Country Business Magazine. I signed quite a few of them for the show attendees. I also got to see my first Holiday Greeting Card box that I designed to go with the cards at Legacy's space and the new catalog that my cards are in. FUN!!! It was great to meet them in person too. Did we take photos???? No, we were so busy working and talking with customers we forgot. I wish I had a photo of Susan and I. Next time. We did get some fun photos of the trip itself-ie. out the car window :-)

I'd like to thank Sassa Lynne at Etsy Serendipity Collection for adding one of my pieces to the Treasury while I was gone. Those only last a few days, so I can't post it, but I sure do appreciate it.

Here's a link for my "adopted" nephew's site, please take a look. Joe is my girlfriend Cathy's SIL. He's new to the blogging world, you'll love his music and art and he's in the OWOH Give-Away too. Also, leave a comment on the post below (we have over 300 now, yikes) to enter mine :-) And then click here: Joe's Studio

I'm so thankful...I got an email from one of the gals at my licensing company saying that she saw my first card with Legacy at the Atlanta Gift Mart, and that it "looked great". Wow, all those years of wondering if my work would ever been shown at places like that...and with such fantastic artists. What a BLESSING!!! Still don't know what all they are picking out for 2010...In the meantime I'm just so grateful that John got to live to see this, because he's the one who is behind me, encouraging, motivating and praying for me.
