Christmas Dots

Here's a little sneak peek of a few new Christmas designs. The top one is burgundy and sage and features the contrasting satin ribbon. Very classy! It is 11x14 and costs $30.00. It is currently available.
The bottom one is a little funkier! It is the classic red, white, and green with a polka dotted sheer ribbon. It is 8x10 and costs $25.00. It is also currently available.

All orders that are needed before Christmas should be placed before Saturday, November 8. Just leave me a comment or send an email if you are interested in immediate delivery of either of the dots! Thanks so much!

Give Thanks

Give thanks every single day.

Lorren's Gift

Sally Pack ordered this light blue, white, and chocolate canvas for her daughter to give as a birthday gift. She liked the dots and stripes on the "Hadley" canvas I did a while back and wanted something like that. I think this one is really pretty!

A Day At The Autumn Street Fair

Here are some shots of my booth, a special visitor, and the view from the back of my booth. The Joe Harvey Band rocked it this afternoon. I had a great time. Thanks for stopping by! Special thanks to Davy and Em for all of their help.

Love Is...A Good Friend

Denise Skelton has a good friend who is suffering with cancer. She wanted this inspirational Bible verse for her to hang in her bedroom. She wanted it done in pale pink, chocolate brown, and cream.
The love between two friends is a very special and powerful thing, especially during difficult times. I treasure all of my girlfriends. Denise, you and your friend are in my prayers.

Chole's Art Class

My Thursday art class at Chole's has been a blast this session. It has gone by so fast! I've got a really sweet, talented group of kids that I look forward to spending time with. They did these gorgeous sunflowers last week. Remember, they range in age from 6 to 11. I am so proud of them and their efforts!

We spent some time sketching oudoors. It was such a pretty day, we couldn't resist. Here is Hayden drawing the elephant ear plants. Below is Emme wrapped up in the details of her leaf.

Emily has taken several sessions and is such a good little artist!

Finally, there is Carter also working on the intricacies of a leaf. I promise it just melts my heart to see him enjoying art. I just remind myself that it is not the finished product that matters, but the time we spent getting there.
