January 31st 2011 - Happy Birthday to me! and OWOH .....January 31st to February 17th 2011!!!! a special way to celebrate with all of you!!!

my myself and I
A photo of me when I was a wee little girl and I started to draw!!!!

Family and amazing friends mean the world to me...and to be able to share my Birthday with my amazing family and friends is all I ever need to fill my heart.... January 31st was my Birthday!!! and I have been celebrating all weekend and week long....little outings with friends, the loves of my life and my amazing family....and memories....

Speaking of fun memories....like my Birthday cake my Mom and Dad picked up for our special Birthday dinner Sunday....This cake is my favorite cake in the world...just the smell of it takes me back to so many of my Birthdays growing up....and to think that the same Baker at the same Bakery has been creating these for my Birthdays year after year.....really blows my mind....

Today is a milestone Birthday and I feel very blessed to have family and friends in my life that really make my life full....

I also feel very blessed to have met so many amazing blog friends...and I share my cake with all of you today also....

Thank you all for being so sweet....

I am also participating in the OWOH FIFTH and FINAL One World One Heart Event...to help celebrate my Birthday and the last OWOH event I will be giving away several prints of my Sweet Guardians....all you have to do is leave me a comment here with a way to get a hold of you.....

You will be able to pick a special Guardian that will be shipped to you so you can frame her and enjoy her....

For those of you that are new to my blog....my name is Diana Evans and I am a full time Illustrator and Designer....I am published in the Children's Market and love to create art each and every day....I love in Ontario, Canada and learned about art from an early age from my Dad....I followed him around as he created amazing paintings and metal sculptures....Illustrating and painting full time has been a dream of mine all my life...and finally one day about 5 years ago I had an opportunity to follow my dreams and create each and every day.....I hope to meet many new blog friends through this wonderful event.....

I host all sorts of fun things on my blog...from daily art to free downloads you can print and create with....so come follow me on my journey!!!! I also run a few fun shops online....my main Etsy Shop....my Custom work shop and my original art stamp shop....

I will be drawing for a bunch of these prints...they are 4inches x 6 inches and fit in standard frames...and I may also include some fun stamp giveaways from my stamp shop....and perhaps even a special custom piece from my Custom Stuff Etsy Shop........so be sure to say hello!!! and let me know how to reach you!!!!

Winners will be announced Feb. 17th and I will email the winners as well as post it on my blog....so be sure to pop back!!!!
