Hi Everyone...Firstly I would like to thank everyone who e-mailed me, wrote on my wall on Facebook and commented on my blog with the wonderful Birthday wishes...
This has been one of the 
best Birthdays ever....I had a wonderful time with friends over the last week and had a very special evening with my husband Brad and our son Cole...Brad picked up some Yummy Chinese Take out and we ate and laughed....then when I opened my fortune cookie I laughed so hard...because Brad had a cake waiting for me...now what are the chances of getting that fortune tonight of all nights...what a riot...Then Brad lit all my candles...(you see I have this thing where I have to have all the candles for every year...lol...I just hate those number candles...this is way more fun and when you make a wish I feel it really comes true...) the best is our son's expression in the shot of me 
blowing out all those candles...priceless...and check out the smoke...hehehehe

I finished it tonight and e-mailed it to the 3 Art Directors ...I hope they love it as much as I do....but atleast I can say I tried....I took a snip out of the work ...and used it in this post...just a peek at Lady Liberty...I will post the whole thing at a later date...
oh and ofcourse...the "Yummy Sketch of the Day" is a special request from last Sunday...sorry for the delay...but here is the Lemon Meringue Pie...
Cheers,
Diana
This NY-er loves your Lady Liberty !! Can't wait to see the whole image....and thanks for sharing your birthday fun....what a cute little boy you have !!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great birthday! where can i find you on facebook? Do you have more sketches posted here?
ReplyDeleteHi Diana!
ReplyDeleteYour birthday sounds and looks like a wonderful day! I am so glad and absolutely love your illustrations and your fortune from your cookie.
I was thinking of you during celebrity apprentice. The work on the task was fun and interesting to watch, but the drama Piers created was silly. The good news is I think his days are numbered.
Do you watch Lost? :)

ReplyDeleteDiana, I am so sorry I missed your birthday yesterday! We got such a HUGE snowstorm here, and I was so beat when I finally got in from work last night after driving 2 hours. Then I remembered today. It looks like it was a really fun birthday, though! All that smoke cracked me up. Your son is SO CUTE! I am glad it was a joyous occasion!
