So do you really own a chocolate factory?
Rachelle tries her luck with another potential Prince Charming in Charleston, SC.
OK Pete..what tricks and games do you have for us this time?
Posing with our close friend, wildlife sculptor Pete Zaluzec, by our display at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition.

News Highlights:
* We've been juried into all our pending shows and exhibits and the schedule is now current.
Mark was attracting the ladies like lint balls in his fashionable new suit!
Rachelle with dear friends, wildlife carvers Mark Holland and Cindy Lewis. Rachelle kept sneaking away from our booth to play the grand piano in the hall by Mark and Cindy.
Hurry up with the photo...the aroma is killing me!
Rachelle's favorite part of every show - chocolate. Actually we both enjoy most spending time with our friends. Thanks to Dr. Bob Beard and his wife Teri for hosting a wonderful dinner with us and Pete Zaluzec and Don Rambadt (together we're all known as the Easton Gang).

Interesting Updates:
* On the easels: We're both currently working on paintings for special upcoming exhibits. The paintings on the website will all be noted with their new show locations after we get back from the show in Tulsa.
* Again...please note that the NatureWorks show in Tulsa, OK will be at a new venue this year. The Marriott Renaisance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center. The entire show will now be in one room.
Our Recent Memory Makers:
•SEWE 2007 - what a great show and fun time with our peers, friends and collectors! Thank you to all who purchased from us helping make 2007 our best show in Charleston to date!
•Yes, it is true...we haven't been doing much in the way of fun other than enjoying the painting process. As those of you attending our recent shows have noticed we're exhibiting more than double what we had on display previously. We do plan to cut way back starting in May so we can get back to our weekly outings in the Park and zoos.
Maybe we can finish one more if we both stay up all night.

Look Rachelle at the pretty little birdie I found!
Wes demonstrates his amazingly flexible spine as he bends into his stealth photo taking position.
Critter Encounters:
* Yard Bird List: 93.
* We can't wait to get out later this month and start working in our yard. We plan to build and bury a chipmunk condo in the flower beds and make some more critter friendly habitat all over the yard.
