Doodle Divas and “Teal for Good”

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Liz Sacks of Avery-Hess Realty.   Liz was also my agent for Doodle Divas.   In all the time I worked with Liz, I had never met her in person. 

Ironically, it was on one of my recent business trips to Vegas that I met with Liz for the first time.  In this technological age, all our correspondence and business was done via phone and computer.  

During our meet and greet, I was asked to come up with diva for Avery-Hess Realty’s initiative, “Teal For Good.”    “Teal For Good” works with several organizations in the DC metro area to help find housing solutions for those in need. In clever, diva fashion, teal pashmina scarves are sold with all of the proceeds going to this great cause.

Naturally, I was thrilled to come up with a DC Diva donning, of course, a pashmina scarf:

I was honored to create a diva for this worthy cause and especially honored to finally meet my diva agent, Liz Sacks, in ‘real life.’

What Time Zone Am I In??

Holy Moly!

After another jaunt to Vegas, I’m just now getting back into the swing of things.  This was the month of travel, Travel and TRAVEL!

I was in Vegas when the first day of Spring hit. 

So I missed posting my Spring Diva:

I was in Vegas on St. Patrick’s Day.  Lots of green, Spring Breakers and celebration was happening in Vegas.  (including gentlemen in kilts . . . nice).

So I missed posting my St. Patrick’s Day Diva:

Any ole hoo . . . it feels great to be home and in my own natural time zone.  

Many a diva was strutting her stuff in Vegas.  And of course, tons of divas were taking their chances at the slots and card tables.

To that end, I’m squeezing in a March giveaway for my Queen of Hearts Diva matted print:

CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS to MiChI!!!

Michi won this month's Doodle Divas giveaway!

It has been a super busy month.  Lots of traveling.  I'm headed off to Texas and Vegas again.  

I've never been to Texas, so I'm excited to check it out for the first time.  

This month I also had the distinct pleasure of knocking out a commissioned piece for Teresa of Elegance On The Avenue.  She creates amazingly gorgeous, custom, bridal wedding bouquets. 

The bouquets all have unique touches that incorporate everything from vintage to contemporary and any color combination your mind can dream up.

You must check her out!!!

And of course, it only makes sense she should have her very own diva.  So with her input, personality and photo for inspiration, I was tickled to come up with this:

I had a lot of fun with this one.  Teresa was a jewel to work with!

Alas, I have a plane to catch tomorrow. Stay tuned.  I suspect another giveaway is happening next month!  ;-)

July is Over??!

I think one of the reasons it's so hard to believe this is the last day of July is because of all the darn rain! 

No worries.  I came up with a diva to mark this unusually rainy month.

Then of course there was Independence Day.  Got a diva for that.

And the highlight of my month was my Vegas trip.  You know I got a diva for that!

Alas, another July has come and gone.   But no problem.  I have a few divas to commemorate the month.

Now let's see what August has in store!  :-)
