on Saturday I received a parcel in the mail from John and his family in New York...
John was the winner of the Win a Free Mini Portrait last month....and is also Featured Artist for this week at the Top Artists' Directory.....
among the wonderful gifts was a lovely response from Mariana (John's daughter) in the form of a drawing... a selection of music from John as well as a terrific book and coasters from MOMA ..
thanks so much John...Mariana....and family...
I'll be working on Kelly's face this week and also helping out with the hanging of the murals at the Baby Ballerinas studio which is due to open in two weeks...
I've chosen a favourite of my Dad's for Music Monday this week...

Hi Kim, was just abt to get some zzzzzz when I saw ur MM appeared on the mr. linky!
Wow more gifts for u Kim, I love the book cover!
And YAY ME!!!! I'm Top Dropper 1, 2 and 3 with all three blogs?????? Yeeeeeha!!!! :):):)
EC has been killing me lately, it's ridiculous to drop 900 a day with the widget not showing at most blogs. I hafta refresh many many times so it's really wasting my time and I've been dropping on important blogs only. Even that is a torture huhuhuhu! :(
Thanks for all ur lovely comments at my blogs he he...of coz am missing B! And now that he lost his phone, it's gonna be even harder to stay in touch! :(
So I'll leave u now and try to get some shut eye..it is coming up to 1.30pm here so I guess I'll see u later tonight lol!
And of course..Happy MM to you! :)

Wow, what wonderful gifts, Kim! Maybe one day Mariana will be a talented portrait artist, like you!
The art you have done for the dance studio is superb. And the place looks spacious and well lit so all the little ballerinas can do their thing.
I bet your sister is thrilled to have you helping her!
BANJO TUNES!
I think Shinade aka Jackie (88) , TH (82) , T.H (78) , and Mariuca (60) are in a contest of sorts. Jackie is winning! I do not think I could compete with them unless I stayed home from work all week, but am very HAPPY to be in the top 10
