Musings & fantasy paintings Book Launch


So as you know, my fairy-mum Claudia Jean McCabe wrote and self-published a book recently. Just two weeks ago the orders started pouring in as the shipments of whimsy, bright, and colourfully bound Musings & fantasy paintings Hardcover books arrived. A small group of Claudia's dearest friends, the Ladybugs, acted fast to organize a private book launch for the author just days before Christmas. I really can't put into words how special this was for Claudia to be surrounded by people that love and support her, and what an honour it was for us all to share with her the overwhelming success, joy and love of Musings & fantasy paintings....LOVE is what this book was written with and it is exactly what you feel when you read it. This is definitely a book you will fall in love with. Congratulations Claudia!

There were a dozen cheers and toastings and more musings by Claudia as she dedicated the book to the special people in her life....and I am blessed to be one of them. So you know when you read the book, my nickname is ping*! and that I will forever be her magical tinkerbell fairy-child. Each Ladybug chose a Musing to share and read aloud, which inspired a few impromptu freestyle musings and silliness! Then Claudia shared with us wonderful news of plans to give $1 from every Hardcover book to Toronto's Sick Kids Hospital....and that a volume 2 is being written as we speak!

Musings & fantasy paintings is a charming treasury of captivating colour and delightfully curious verse. The book was written in honour of artists, art appreciators, collectors, all creatures great and small, and for children ages one to one-hundred. You can preview the book and buy a copy here.

Claudia surely is an inspiration, bringing joy to the world with her paintings and writing, and her love ❤

Christmas 2009 promise

I will draw as much as possible over the holidays
I will appreciate my friends and family for all their uniqueness
I will be grateful each day I wake up (hopefully to sunshine, snow on the ground and frosted windows)
I will jump out of bed every morning yelling 'I am an artist'!!! how lucky, how brave, how proud am I...
I won't ever stop


love to my muse,
every artist should have one

as every one should have a fairy god mother
too

xoxo

Musings & fantasy paintings by Claudia Jean McCabe

My fairy-mum Claudia McCabe just wrote a book! Musings & fantasy paintings is a lovely collection of her musings (silly and sweet poetry) and brilliant paintings. I helped with the layout, but the book was already written and dreamed, and was grateful for my help to be materialized :) I'm quote honoured and delighted to be part of the process of making this dream come true! I'm very happy to share this with the world, and hope it finds itself wrapped in spectacular brightly designed wrapping paper, as a gift to those remarkable people in your life....check it out:
