Flower power!

I hope everyone is have a wonderful day. I just wanted to share some pictures of some flowers my daughter gave to me.

I didn't do anything to these photos, straight from the camera. Sometimes I do get lucky!

I love the water bubbles on the stems.

 I took a goody bag to my best friend since forever, today. She has breast cancer so I wanted to to something for her.

 She's a strong willed woman I tell ya! She doesn't ask for help or anything so today when she wasn't home a snuck the bag on her door. She'll have a nice surprise when she gets home.

 So I"ve been thinking and praying alot for her and her family. She has a daughter that's 15. Our girls go to school together. But like I said she is a strong woman and she will pull though and kick cancers butt!! It's amazing which way life takes you. You just never know.

Be Free!

Just a quick post today! I'm going to go have lunch with the hubby today and I'm hungry!! Just wanted to show another little painting I did. I'm really loving this long Bristol paper.

I used watercolors again. I drew it all out first with pencil.

 I then used black Pitt pen on some and painted some and just went back and forth with each where I thought it needed it.

 I used a white gel pen for the dots on the letters. I used the same stencil as last time but I added the swirls.

Thanks for looking today. Hope you all have a sunny day and Be Free!! ;) Ok, I'm gonna go eat lunch!!

new floor

This is what we have been doing the past week. A new floor.

My dogs are busy too can't you tell?

This little fat one here has been a pain. So into everything!

 THis is our new floor. It's a little dark, it's a cloudy day here.

But I love it!

Our new baby kitty!

Finally finished and a look!

 Well here's what I've been working on. I'm sending it in tomorrow, no wait Monday because our post office is closed on Saturdays. Well the inside is so I can't mail anything like that! Darn! Anyway, it is for Stampington's call for something Poe. I chose the quote "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."












                                                                     

I chose an old cigar box. Do you get it? I tried to explain it to my husband and it was like talking to air.  The outside is one dream and the inside is another dream.

I really like how it turned out. Wish me luck that they like it too!

               

In other news, I 've been shopping for baby stuff! It's gotta be for a boy or a girl, but gosh you forget just how tiny they are until you start buying baby things. Hopefully next month she'll find out what she's having. But I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

It is a lovely weekend!

Well I finally got this baby quilt done for my cousin.

I wanted so make something soft and pastel and I love pink and yellow together. I have had some of these strips forever! I still have more of them!

But I love the softness of it and I hope her and baby does too!

 It had been so warm here the last few days it felt like we skipped spring and went straight into summer! So nothing better than a Popsicle on the porch!

I finished my drawing last night.

I used water colors on this. Just a little cheapo set from Wal-mart.

I don't know why I ended up using colors that are fall colors when I'm so in the mood for summer and spring. I still love it though. I think I will have it framed.

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! I have plans tomorrow to clean out the garage. Aren't you jealous?

Some sneak peeks and some news!

Some pretty tulips that were really on their last legs this week.

I snapped a couple of pictures of them on the window before I tossed them.

A couple of sneak peeks of a project I'm working on.

Love the dots!

I bought some new paper at Hobby Lobby and did a little drawing.

I will add some color to this with watercolors I think. Plus it never fails, I bring home some paper and Meagan just has to doodle up a page too. She's taking art in high school and I think it's opened her eyes to some new things about art. Which is good because we've had some teachers that squash that passion.

On another note......I'm going to be a grandma! Yep at , well I'll be 42 when she has the baby, I'm going to be a grandma. It's my 19 year old. She'll be 20 this summer. This is a new journey for her! One that I am now embracing. It's a baby and they are precious gifts from God! I think I'd rather be called MeeMaw.

Fishing

THis has been a busy week around here! My husband left for his annual fishing trip to Alabama. THis is a couple of the fish he' caught this week. So I've been doing all the running and taking the dogs out and whatever else needs to be done around here! It's my turn next!! I want a vacation too!
