HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM POP ART DIVA



I want to THANK YOU ALL for supporting my small business stores and making this the best holiday ever for The PopArtDiva Gift Gallery, The Martini Diva Boutique as well as my other online stores.

A big THANK YOU as well for all of you who purchased my books, The Merry MartiniMixology Book and The Martini Diva's Halloween Martinis & Munchies Book.  Your orders have encouraged me to get on with the rest of my planned books and next up will be my VALENTINE MARTINIS & MUNCHIES BOOK coming in January, followed soon by two others that will be recipes for any and all occasions!

I will be taking a little bit of a break after the first of the year to rest up from all the holiday tweeting, friending, blogging, creating and martini testing that starts way before Halloween and ends only after New Year's Eve.  I'll still be enjoying all my Twitter tweeps and Facebook peeps and will still be blogging and cocktailing - just not at such a frantic pace!!

Thank you all so much for your friendship and the fun.

MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR YOU

May your Christmas Eve sparkle
with merry twinkling lights.
May you enjoy the Christmas spirit
and holiday delights.
May you sing your Christmas Carols
in voices sweet and bright.
May the joy of sharing Christmas
put the jolly in your night.

May you wake up Christmas Morning
with your stocking full of cheer.
May your house be filled with music
that is pleasant to the ear.
May you spend your day with loved ones
and those you hold most dear.
And may you keep the Christmas spirit
throughout the whole New Year.

12-21-2012: Finding Humor at the End of the World in Art


IF IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD
(as we know it or just the total end of the world)
I PLAN TO LAUGH UNTIL
THE FINAL HOUR!

A friend (you know who you are) talked me into doing some art for December 21st, 2012 aka 12-21-2012 aka The End of The Mayan Calendar aka Doomsday - or not.  I didn't think it was up my art alley until I started to add my typical tongue in cheek humor.

Since all the brouhaha is centered around the Mayan prophecy and the 13th Baktun which is, supposedly the last cycle of this world I decided to do my 2012 design with a Mayan Codex feel to it.

As for the prophecy itself, I won't go into detail but the long count calendar breaks down this way:

kin = day - 20 kins make a uinal, 18 uinals make a tun, 20 tuns is a katun and 20 katuns is a baktun
baktun = 144,000 days, 20 katun cycles
We are now in the 13th baktun which ends on 13.0.0.0.0 of the Mayan Calendar or on 12.21.2012 of the Roman Calendar.

So, ladies and germs,
Take a Deep Breath, do a Long Count and Kiss Your Baktuns Goodbye,
BUT DO IT LAUGHING AT MY TAKE ON DOOMSDAY PROPHECIES:
(Click on any of the individual designs for art, gifts & gear!)

I plan on living my life to the fullest, drinking MARTINIS every night and soaking in all the happy I can!
Folks, if we only have one year left let's get all the joy, laughter and happiness out of it we can!!

Peace!
