New this year ... Holiday Card Sets featuring the 12 Dogs of Christmas, including:
A ScoutDog In a Doghouse, 2 Labs Lounging, 3 Chihuahuas Caroling, 4 Bassets Baking, 5 Golden Retrievers, 6 Dachshunds Dreaming, 7 St Bernards Sledding, 8 Bulldogs Bury Bones, 9 Great Danes Gifting, 10 Poodles Painting, 11 Jack Russells Jingling and 12 Westies Wrapping.

I always protested thinking about the holidays until after Thanksgiving. But now that I'm in the business of designing holiday cards and gifts, I start thinking about it in January. Crazy.

So even though it is only Halloween, there is still time to order your holiday cards and customized holiday gifts ... from paintings to leash hooks to picture frames, jewelry and stocking stuffers.

Check out the shopping section for some ideas. The order deadlines for Holiday Cards is Nov. 15 and for Paintings, gifts, etc. is Dec. 1.

Also this week I'll be posting more information about an Online Auction for some of my paintings as well as launching the designs for the 2005 ScoutDog Wall Calendars.

Happy Halloween!
