Just found your work – NEED one of those horses:) I’m a scrapbooker but have recently “found” softies and plushies in the course of lots of research for page ideas and have become obsessed – almost feeling a career change coming on – almost, lol. Love your fabric covered journals too. You’r very talented – will be checking your etsy shop often:)

I received the cards I purchased from your etsy store. Thanks! I posted about them in my blog at knittingodyssey.com. I am going to order the commissioned portrait for me and my friends’ kids just as soon as I can get a good photo of them. Do I send the pictures by email?

Hi Carla,
i just joined mile high etsians and I love your work, you are very talented. i hope your trip to india was inspiring, what drew you there? my parents have done some medical work there in the past but in southern india. i love to travel and a lot of my art work ends up being inspired by my travel. I went to Cuba 5 times in 2003 and came home with a husband so that’s my newest hobby!
Anyway, just wanted you to say hello!

Hi Carla,
Just looked through your blog and your art on etsy and saw the two rabbits print you mentioned. LOVE IT and all your work. Should I just purchase it through etsy? Hope you made it back to CO safely. Pam and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and seeing Cindy again. What a fun group.
Hugs,
Mardie

Dear Carla– here I sit typing to you and on my right a young girl on a very curious turtle, a young girl lying on the ground trying to tantalize a young turtle, and finally (but wistfully …not last) a young girl at sunset on a wavy beach with bubbles all 15′X15” with 21/2′borders of a gray,green,gray mat enconsed in a frame of blues muted grays and green—I love them thank you so very much —your girls look so beautiful (and playful) on my study wall!!!! My SO will get used to them and I love them thank you Carol Parks for letting me find your art!!! I do want more but after framing costs which he knows since he paid half (bless him) I shall have to wait, but that does not stop me from enjoying all your work!!
thank-you
