I saw this not too long ago on Bacardi Mama's and Sweet Tea Diaries' blogs... 

...they were so fun to read & what a perfect post to do for this week's Alphabe-Thursday's "Alphabet Soup" with Jenny!

&

Alicia for FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK.

Please let me know, if you've already done the "ABCs of me", I'd love to read it...

Or if you do an "ABCs of me" post, after learning about it from here, I'd love if you link back to me, like I've linked back to Bacardi Mama and Sweet Tea Diaries.

Age: 47...I often have to subtract my birth year to the current year! or have to think about how old our oldest child is and add how old I was when I had her...to figure out my age!   Is there anyone else like that?

Chore you hate: cleaning toilets (when I read this of Bacardi Mama's, I had to agree!)


Dogs: None right now, but we do have two "granddogs".


Essential start to your day: Thank the Lord for a new day (especially on days vacationing with family)...& then put on my glasses!

Gold or Silver: Gold
Height: 5'7 and a half...our kids say that I am shrinking...


Instruments that you can play: the musical genes, for singing and playing instruments, went to my hubby, mom and our 3 kids...I make a joyful noise...sometimes to the beat of my own drum  :o)


Job title: Artist...Dental Hygienist...("full-time gramma" sounds real fun!!!)


Kids: 3 wonderful, beautiful, loving, caring, talented, thoughtful, fun children who love the Lord with all their hearts. & of course 1 equally awesome son-in-law!


Live: ...in southern, sunny, coastal Georgia...would love to live closer to our kids...


Mom's name: Remedios (nick name: Remie)


Nicknames: "Bing"...from when I was itty-bitty...some family still call me "Bing"


Overnight hospital stays: ...after giving birth & staying with our son when he was going through chemo.


Pet peeve: Any one in a customer-service type position, working with people, that are not courteous or friendly.


Quote from a movie:  for some reason this came to mind..."for-ever, for-ever..." (The Sandlot)


Righty or Lefty: Righty


Siblings: brother (11 years younger than me) & sister (20 years younger than me).


Time you wake up: On weekdays~6:30...on a weekend ~usually around 7-ish.


Underwear:...um...yes


Vegetables you dislike: as a kid..I only liked a few veggies...as I got older, I liked more and more...now, I eat everything! (which my weight reflects!)


What makes you run late: With my hubby around, not a problem with being late. :o)


X-rays: ...mamograms, dental, chest xrays


Yummy food you make: fav requests from our kids ~ Chicken parmesan & skillet bread ...~Korean chicken...


Zoo favorite animal: ...monkeys, cuz they're so fun to watch... & giraffes, zebras, bears, panda bears (I agree with Sweet Tea Diaries...pandas are adorable.)

I believe I've posted this recent order, but thought to share it again, since it fits in well with the ABC theme :o)

The baby blocks have the initials of this cutie's first, middle and last name. And surrounding the blocks is her birth info.

Your art work is really beautiful and so unusual. A special keepsake to each one. I am a follower and want to thank you for this delightful giveaway!

Thank you for replying back about your win...I look forward to drawing this eagle for you using the name of your choice.

Giveaway #2: an 8x10 monogram 

Amy said...

Your sketches are absolutely stunning, beautiful and artistic, as always. I didn't know the sketch is formed with names within them until now! (Shame on me!) Now I appreciate them even more. I'm so not a crafty or artistic person. But I surely do enjoy and appreciate your art. :) Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.

Amy...please excuse my error when I left you a comment about your win...I meant to say your name was drawn, not that it was not! oops!

Alely said...

Thank you for emailing me confirming your win. and I look forward to hearing what image you would like drawn for this category.

This baby one, shown here, is just a sample...the winner would let me know what they want drawn.

Wow--what great works of art. I love the eagle one with the verse!

DHidey, hope you got my comment that your name was drawn for one of the two 20% off certificates. Please let me know if you are interested in it. If not, not a problem :o) I will draw another name, should you decide not to accept.

#2 certificate:   Vicki aka Jake said... Maria, thanks for sending me to your giveaways. I usually don't enter them, but I love your work. And the eagle one really caught my eye...my 83 yr old dad's nickname is BUSH :)And he loves eagles. What a great Fathers Day surprise this would be...

Thank you for your email and I am looking forward to drawing the image of the arrowhead for your dad! It is fun to do new images and I have not done an arrowhead before. I try to do them within a week from getting all the final info and confirmations.

(& if your name was not drawn for one of the giveaways, but you had commented on that post, I extended a 10% off special to be used on any art that is ordered. Just contact me via my email: mgbotelho21@gmail.com).

Thank you for your visit! I am behind in returning your visits from last week, but will get over there! I truly appreciate your kind comments...please come back again.
