Gang,
I just can not find the words to tell you how much I appreciate your feedback on our latest GBG eZine.
I am receiving so many “Thank you” emails from you guys, I’m overwhelmed with emotions!
This is one more proof how giving is receiving! That’s something my parents tried to teach me when I was still a kid but I was to young to understand.
Now I understand.
By giving you these presents in my latest eZine, I received so many positive emotions and such a nice feedback from you guys … it is something one can not measure in dollars or anything material.
So, I owe you A BIG THANK YOU!
And what else can I say?
Thank you for sticking with me and GBG for so long. I wish I could answer to each and every one of you personally but it’s just impossible! So, I wanted to thank you this way and
I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
May all your dreams and wishes come true and I hope we will stick together in GBG for many years to come.
I love you all, and even if it is hard to survive in these tough days of recession, your kind and warm words just make everything else irrelevant. And I love you for that.
Silvia and GBG
P.S.
Also, I am proud to say that I made this little Christmas Card with out latest On-Line Designer Application and if you liked it too, feel free to make one Christmas Card yourself right here ->
Gang,
The time has come! Our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Christmas Graphics Competition is over. We had a tough job selecting the best graphic because all of them were great!
Anyways, as we know – there can be only one so, here it is:
The winner is Lisa Palmer Gupton with her Christmas Card
Lisa sent me complete card which is folded and double sided. It took a lot of work to do something like that and we appreciate it.
Here’s the rest of the card, back and front:
Thank you Lisa Palmer Gupton for your great work, I think that our Facebook community will agree that your work deserves be the winning one. Please contact us at info(at)graphics-illustrations.com to collect your prize: Custom made video photo album.
For the rest of you guys, thank you so much for submitting your designs, they were all great and all of them will be displayed in our little Christmas Graphics Flash Gallery.
And one more note, some of the contestants did not include any of my brushes into their work. Since that was one of two conditions for the participation we could not include these submissions. It would not be fair towards the rest of you who stuck to the rules.
Thank you all for participation, it was fun, we discovered some real talents and i think we won’t have to wait long before having another competition :)
Have fun!
Yours,
Silvia
Christmas is coming. And maybe I would not notice too if the sales of Christmas Illustrations didn’t go up sharply in the last few days.
Obviously, designers, desktop publishers, art directors and marketing managers don’t waste time. After all, almost every one of us prepares at least some kind of graphics for Christmas, I thought I’d help you out by selecting and showing you some of my Christmas Illustrations.

Guys and gals,
Just a small post about this years Christmas Fair, Susanne and myself. As my old visitors already know, this year the Artists Society selected me along with some 20 artists who are allowed to set up their own “cabin” at this years Christmas Fair.
So, we did it!
I am selling my own stuff like, photos on wood, diaries, wooden candle holders and Susanne sells her socks and pantyhose.
And here are some images (taken late at night):
Yep, I’m all in Christmas atmosphere, giving giving giving … :)
While my little Poofitza sleeps behind the computer screen only her tail, lurking from behind, gives away her presence and I’m thinking about this years Christmas presents for my family.
It was always like this, our (wider) family gets together each year for Christmas. A Christmas tree, 15-20 family members, specially arranged dinner table, many good looking and even better tasting sweets and of course: many many presents under the Christmas tree.
Well, for last few years I thought a little about all these presents… and I realized that I should probably abandon old traditional approach and do something completely different this year. So, I decided: this year I will donate all of our Christmas presents budget to the SOS Children’s Village! And children will make 20 drawings for my family members with Christmas greetings! So, in Christmas spirit we will donate to the ones in need, our family members will get Christmas drawings and everyone will be happy. I’ll post some of the drawings, as soon as I get them in Thursday.
HoHoHo!
And, here is a little something for YOU! Yes you, the one who reads this :))!
