Inspiration!

No need to go far to be inspired~ 

took a rainy day off from work, kept my son home w/ me, broke out the paints & brushes and what a day we had together!!

Painted a few more beach rocks, opened a new package of canvases, and worked on a hope chest for my friend's daughter...

And... It's just about done! A few more touches...

What inspires you?

Painting- on everything, but canvas...

I {love} to paint...it soothes my soul, relaxes me- it's my escape!

Found a slice of time in this busy weekend to paint this hope chest...

It used to look like this...

Can't wait to share the final transformation!

Then, I found a bit of time to finish our garden rocks...

I have a few more to make: arugula, jalapeños, and radishes! Yummy!!

Here's to a productive week!

Organization!

Ahhhh... My husband is such a huge help! I really needed some shelves for all of my art supplies {my brushes & colored pencils haven't even found their way to the shelves yet}, and my hubby surprised me by putting these up! 

I'm loving my new storage space!

Valentine sweetness!

Mmmmmm, mmmmmm! We are cooking up a batch of Valentine goodness & sweetness! Three dozen cookies are for our church cookie swap, the other three dozen are going into beautiful, blue Ball jars ( after cooling ) for Valentine gifts~ yum!! I'll post a pic of the Ball jars as soon as my cookies cool! ;)

Chocolate Crinckle Cookies...

How are you celebrating Valentine 's? Hopefully, in a simple, delicious way!!

Hello Monday...

Hello Monday, hello Groundhog (who saw his shadow), hello snow day...

Sitting on my couch this morning, watching the snow fly, uploadoing photos (that I'm behind on), and wrapping some Valentine gifts.

How are you spending your Monday?

Stay warm!!

Whipping up some Valentine gifts, during a snowstorm!

We got buried with snow, and my son loved every minute of it!!

I do love that he's an "outdoor kid" - just simply loves being outside. But, when he came in to thaw out, his second favorite thing to do is draw. We worked on these mugs for Valentine gifts...

What do you think? Grama, Nana, and Aunty (Michael's Godmom) are going to receive these with some teas! 

I love to give & create gifts- thank goodness my son does too!
