Since you all are loving the angel prints so much, I am offering this lil’ sweetie for the March give away. The print measures 8″x10″ so it will be easy to frame. What a great reminder for us all……..that in the end love really is EVERYTHING!

The winner for the February give away is Rhonda! Congratulations! (I do not have a last name, or any way of contacting you, so I hope you see this post…..you entered the drawing with a comment on my blog). Please contact me with your address and I will ship your print right away.

My wonderful agent, Beth, finally sent me her Atlanta photos! Take a look at more Blossom Bucket and Kurt Adler angel products!

Blossom Bucket did a fantastic job creating a variety of products from my angel artwork. See the two rectangle angels with black moulding at the bottom of the picture….those are book ends!! Love them!

 The resin angel figurines are precious. They really captured the sweetness of their faces. Also really love the crosses that hang on the wall.

“If God is Love and Love is Everything, then God is Everything!” stackable blocks….gotta have! And check out the tin “bucket” behind the blocks…wouldn’t this be great hanging on your front door with a bouquet of flowers in it!

Another view…..the wall hangings are great. The angel in blue on the right top corner is metal and the hearts are magnets! Very cool!

These items are due to ship to your local gift shop this spring! The line is called “Teresa Kogut’s Wings of Encouragement by Blossom Bucket”. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Now for Kurt Adler…..

These ornaments are so beautiful in person…..hard to see the detail in these photos. I love the gold accents……they will really show up on your Christmas tree!

I cannot express how grateful I am that my angel artwork is finding much success. To be able to paint what I love while spreading the word of God is the most rewarding work I have done to date!

Adding two new patterns to my website today!! “Teddy in Love” is just one of them! Kevin and I are preparing for the TNNA (The National Needlearts Association) Nashville show coming up Feb 23. This is a wholesale show so we will be selling to shops. We have never been to this show before…we are very excited! Instead of a booth like at a typical trade show, we have a suite along with all the other exhibitors (I believe the show is three floors of the hotel). One room is where we sleep, the other room is where we will sell our product! The bathroom connects our sleeping quarters to our showroom!! I will make sure to take lots of pictures. Also, this is a cash and carry/order writing show……not sure how many patterns to bring?!?!?!? It will definitely be a new adventure for us.

Since the January give away had such a great response, I figured I should offer another angel print for the February give away!! So here it is……and God saw. The print measures 8″ x 10″ and will fit any standard 8×10 frame……wouldn’t a black frame look great?!?! 

All you need to do to enter is post a comment here or on my facebook page. Drawing will be held March 1st. Good luck!

I can’t get enough of painting in this style…acrylic over collage papers then antiquing. It is a very long process but worth every effort. This is one of four in this group. All of them have scripture reference but I didn’t write out the scripture verse……hopefully prompting people to go to their bibles and look up the verse themselves. All four of them have to do with friendship….something we all hold dear.

Blossom Bucket had a beautiful “Wings of Encouragement” Angel display on the 8th floor of the Atlanta Mart. I was sooo shocked to see this! I had no idea Cindy was doing this window display…..what a beautiful job they did making these products using my angel artwork. The translation is beautiful!

Deb Strain and Me in Blossom Bucket’s showroom for a signing (and Beth’s reflection in the window)

By the vibe that was going around the market…..looks like the economy is picking up!!! Long awaited news, right?

I missed going to Atlanta for the first time in 10 years last year so I was going to do everything in my power to go this year! I hope I never miss it again because connecting with my agents, licensees and fellow artists gives me a “shot in the arm” for the new year!

This year I had the pleasure of rooming with artist Deb Strain Sunday night! We first went to dinner with my wonderful agents, Linda and Ashley (poor Beth was ill, so she went to the room for some much needed r and r), then we had a nightcap, headed for the room for some sleep but instead sat up talking half the night! Thank you Deb for making this Atlanta trip extra special!

A HUGE thank you to my agents for all the work they do at the market. All three of them have scheduled meetings over a four day period! Plus they always make the plans for dinner and schedule my signings…..all I have to do show up!  So thank you, thank you, thank you for everything Linda, Beth and Ashley!

I always want to kick myself for not taking more pictures! I wish I had gotten a picture of my artist friend Beth Yarbrough, some pictures of my licensees and pictures of my agents, Linda, Beth and Ashley! Maybe they will have some pictures that they can forward to me…..if so, look for another post soon!

Lots of wonderful products coming out in 2012!!!! Thanks be to God!
