Big News!

Hello all! I have new canvases and they are for sale at Wish! I’m super excited because I took 3 and sold one in just a few hours. And Amy, the owner, can’t wait for me to bring in more. Here are pictures of the two left for sale.

Boys and azaleas

Every year for the past couple of years, I have take a picture of the boys by our azalea bush. They moan and I force them to do it but it always makes a great picture. Here is this year’s picture. Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and remember that God loves you.

Canvas Play

Hello bloggers!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy though. Here are a few of my recent canvases:

The first two were made for my church to use during service.

This one above is my favorite. I love the colors and how it turned out. It is titled “The Promises of God”.

And her are a few smaller ones I have been working on. I’m hoping to take these up to the New River to sell at the Draper Mercantile.

 

Enjoy!

Art journal play

Here’s the latest page in my art journal. I love the freedom of playing in my art journal. No fear, no stress, just relaxing, creative playtime. Enjoy!

A birthday party–finally!

Well, after a week and a half of sick children, 2 visits to the doctor, numerous trips to the drug store and a total of 4 days missed between 2 boys, everyone is well at my house. And best of all, Gabe finally got to have his 9th birthday party this past weekend. His 2 best buds came. He had cake and gifts and pizza. What’s better than that??

Stamps!!!

I am having so much fun making my own stamps from the Speedball Stamp kit that came in January’s Mixed Media Kit from Scarlet Lime! I have made a total of 5 stamps with the one block of rubber (or whatever that pink stuff is!) that was included in the starter kit. My favorite would have to be the positive and negative tulip stamps. Love how they turned out!

You can order the stamp kit from Christy Tomlinson’s shop. The stamps are super easy to make. The block carves like butter with the 2 carving tips included. Just be sure to give your stamp some thought before you start carving.

One sick little boy

Gabe turned 9 years old on Wednesday, January 25th! We took the family (including Grandparents) to CiCi’s for pizza and Gabe got to make his own pizza again this year. He was super excited. He got a Razor skateboard from Nana and Papa, Angry Birds plush toys from his brother and Jeff and I gave him the longest Nerf gun in history. But the best gift of all was a new bed from his Aunt Wendy and Uncle David. He went from an ancient twin bed to a brand new full size bed. He was very excited!


But then, the day before his party with some of his best buddies he got sick. He has a very bad cold, complete with runny nose, sore throat, fever and coughing. Yuck. And he’s been to see the doctor twice. He will miss at least 3 days of school. The birthday party has been rescheduled; thankfully everyone could still come.


Hoping to post more pictures of a healthy 9 year old with his friends eating cake soon!
