I had such a blast last year flying on my magic carpet around the world meeting so many new and fabulous people that I'm so glad to be back! I have been in a blogging slump, so I hope I can fly away on the wings of OWOH, back to weekly postings!
So...since last year's OWOH so much has happened in my life.
1. The biggest event is that I started my own business and I opened up my own Artist's Teaching Studio in Sea Cliff, NY. This has really filled my schedule up with new and wonderful people and ideas.
2. I've gone to 3 weddings.
3. I've finished another calendar.
4. I've sent my oldest daughter to kindergarten.
5. I've seen more snow in NY state since 1920. (There's a mountain in front of my house!)
6. I've lived in my house for more than a year now!
My best and worst moment in 2010 was realizing my dream of a business- it's not easy!! So much to be proud of, but so much stress.

This year I am again giving away 3 of my 2011 calendars. It is a 12 month calendar filled with my artwork. I know you will get it a month late, but it will still be with you for 11 glorious 2011 months and it comes with good luck (at least that's what people say;)
Please leave a comment and tell me where you're from. I'd love to hear about your best moment of 2010 (but it's not required, just fodder for a fun comment). Make sure I can contact you if you win!! I will use the random number picker to find my winners on February 17th. Anyone is welcome to leave a comment.
Enjoy your travels! Patricia

Lovely artwork - Congratulations on going solo - working for oneself is a love hate relationship in my book!!
Talking of books - I love your big yellow journal! I'm a journal junkie. Rarely use them - just like looking at them!
Good luck with the snow... and wow - 3 wedding on one year!!

Hi Patricia,
first of all I want to say: I have completely fallen in love with your blogs!!! So beautiful and sunny!
Your art is lovely!
My best moment in 2010 was a warm summer night spent outside with some good old friends of mine under a huge tree, having fish from the barbeque, salad, great white wine and a few icecold White Russians. No, we were not drunk - otherwise it wouldn't have been the perfect moment.
I actually sat there in my old chair and thought: this is the perfect moment.
I am sorry you are having to deal with so much snow! We had a lot of snow, too, but it has all gone.
Happy OWOH!
