Back from Vacation...

And feelin' fine!! Hehe, actually I'm just trying to get back into the routine again. Now I had pictures from my wonderful vacation at the beaches in the Outerbanks of North Carolina, but when deleting one blurry one, it ended up deleting ALL my vacation pics!!! I'm so upset! But, I have two beautiful pictures to share with you of our dear Arlana, creator of our sketches, and her hubby with their darling little granddaughter, Adelyn.

Pattie Gomez Bio

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed.
Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Allie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief...

Pattie is graciously offering our winner 3 free digis of their choice!!!!!
