Twilight Love

2009-05-08T08:31:00.000-07:00

Here's a little something I created yesterday. I just love my Twilight books... and the movie! of course.
Can't wait til New Moon hits Theaters.

Twilight

2009-04-09T08:49:00.000-07:00

I'm loving Twilight! I rented the movie and afterward had to run out and get the book 2 in the series. I'll eventually get the first book that the current movie is based on... but for now I must find out what happens to the fascinating couple that are the focus of this great saga.
New Moon, which is book two and the current film that's being produced was Fabulous.

Stephenie Meyer is a very talented story teller and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
So check out this not so average vampire story that has real heart to it. And ladies... it will give you that little extra pitter-patter in your heart that we remember from when we met "our" true love and the challenges that we walked through perusing true love.

I've been busy and have unfortunately been slack on blogging. This weekend I'll post some pictures of our trip to Helen, GA. A fun Alpine getaway just a short drive from Atlanta. Hey, if you can't get to Germany... why not try Helen.

SNOW in Georgia

2009-03-05T08:22:00.000-08:00

We were blessed with a light dusting of snow last Sunday. Just enough to quite our community for a day. My girls loved tromping around in our makeshift rain gear. We don't see enough of the white stuff to buy Snow gear.

And just think.... we'll be in the 70's this coming weekend, just a week after snow!
Hugs!

Momma's Happy!

2009-02-27T08:25:00.000-08:00

I'm so tickled that my sweet hubby found and negotiated a deal on this Fabulous Lexus GS 400.

It's a 1998.The day of the mini-van has passed for our proud booster seat riding kids. They just love being in smacking distance of each other.... wait... what have I done? They can now beat each other as i drive down the road. Oh dear.
And best of all it's Dave Ramsey Friendly we bought this used car... CASH! The sweet spot in cars is waiting for some else to pay all those car notes and then buying it in it's golden years.
But it drives like BUTTER! Smooth and quite. Accept for the hum of the sweet 300 horsepower v8. Oh momma.

Look out Danica Patrick

THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!
Heathica is making her debut.

Her Menu

2009-02-23T08:34:00.000-08:00

My oldest has decided that she and a friend will open a Coffee Shop. She has created a menu and everything. Check out her logo. Yep... she can draw. Momma's proud.

Notice the dog menu. They will surely have a nitch with that feature.

What an awesome thing a child with an imagination is. If only more adults would awaken theirs.

Office Work

2009-02-18T08:26:00.000-08:00

Here's a peak at what I do to "bring home the bacon".

Sorry for the delay

2009-02-13T09:46:00.000-08:00

My little one is still up and down with her HSPurpra.
But now that it appears we are about to be out of the woods I should have some new art to show you soon.
Hugs Y'all!

Blog Template

2009-02-03T08:12:00.000-08:00

I created my new blog template yesterday. What do y'all think?
I took a que from some of my favorite things:
Old type writers, courier font, shipping tags and twine.

Home Grown Greeting Cards

These days we all need to pinch a penny or two here and there. One of the ways I do that is by using watercolors and water color paper cut down to a card size. I then paint whatever is fitting for the occasion and there's a cheap card that will be special little touch to the gift recipient.

Nesting Scarlett Doll

2009-01-29T08:23:00.000-08:00

There are three characters from the movie that will come to life in this set of nesting dolls. Rhett Butler , Scarlett and I'll let you guess the third.

Here's a quick snap shot of the beginning of where I've gotten so far.

And to my worries today, in the words of the great southern lady herself,
" 'I won't think of it now. I can't stand it now. I'll think of it later.' "

Doctors Excuse

2009-01-27T08:25:00.001-08:00

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted new art. My oldest has been quite sick with HS purpura. A kind of scary condition that is hopefully temporary.

I will be back soon with a fresh batch of artful goodness.

Hugs,

2009-01-21T08:47:00.001-08:00

A couple of my favorite things:

My Whiteclad Icebox.

My grandmother's sewing machine and stand.

P.S.

That's my grandmother in the small picture on the sewing machine holding a jug of wine she made. Muscadine of course.

Capture A moment Art Journaling

2009-01-12T08:19:00.000-08:00

One of the things that I enjoy doing during down time is art journaling. It's a great way to record a trip, or just everyday life. From watching the kids play at McDonald's

to record special moments and places on a trip.

And what a great piece to hand down to your heirs than a illustrated journal that tells the story of your experiences.

Sunrise

2009-01-07T08:35:00.000-08:00

from the parking deck at Coca-Cola. Of course this was not taken today. It's raining and overcast today. Which it might surprise you to know I prefer. I love rainy weather... although the traffic stinks!

Getting Creative in My pajamas

2009-01-05T08:22:00.000-08:00

I spent a lovely two weeks of snacking on holiday food, snuggling with my little ones while we watched the classic holiday tales, painting, shopping and more snuggling. What a lucky girl I am. Here's what came from the creative bits of pajama time.

Acrylic on canvas (larger than I normally work)

A new series of watercolors for the Gone with The Wind Gift Shop at Stately Oaks.

A chicken I bought made of wood gets painted black and chalk to add that cozy country look.

And a steal on a big wooden tag for Christmas decor turns into a motivational sign over my desk!

2008-12-23T11:53:00.000-08:00

Mykitchen bookcases are decked...

We've visited the North Pole... Well the Tree farm near our home.

We've made and iced and eaten lots of cookies.

And we had our yearly CHristmas play at the church.

And this year my oldest was a shepherd woman! at least that's what she called it.

Merry Christmas to All!

Hugs Y'all.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-19T09:07:00.000-08:00

My sweet little one made a beautiful Mary in 2006.
Have a Blessed Christmas and remeber to share the spirit of the season with all those around you.

Don't forget to enjoy some egg nog too!

Where There's A Will...

2008-12-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

There's A Yard Stick!

I was kicking myself for doing this southern Christmas tree on Canvas board instead of a nicer real canvas.. How should I hang this oddly shaped piece of prim Christmas art? And then I saw my trusty yard stick. An icon of many a household. Used for everything from a spanking tool in some people's homes to an extension to place tape up high in a classroom.

Well my yard stick is now a piece of the art. What better way to both mount the art together and operate as the mechanism to be hung by. And it just looks so darn country/prim cute!

I'd like to sale it, my hubby wants us to keep it. What do y'all say?

A Promised Piece Complete

2008-12-10T08:25:00.000-08:00

One down.

I created this painting for a sweetheart from my old Sunday school class. It's her grand daughter and great grands. So sweet. It was created using watercolors.

I Promise

2008-12-08T08:33:00.000-08:00

I promise to post some new art soon. I'm so busy it's hard to snap the pics to post. My art table is brimming with activity. I've got a portrait of of three in watrcolor that I'll complete this week. I'm also working on a study of The Kindly Robyn and a hot rod for an auto nut... all hopefully complete before Christmas.
Plus, I'd like to paint a pice for the favorite teacher's in my daughters lives. We'll see if I can fit that in.

Busy As A Bee
