Happy Birthday to my darling HUSBAND
Today is a very special day in our house. It is my DH's birthday. He's 43 years young.
My DH is one of the most selfless, giving, and supportive people I've ever met in my life. He is a Godly man, a FAMILY man, my very best friend.



I've tried my hardest over the last 16 years to get this man a hobby (it would take some of the focus off all of mine ~ I thought~hehehe). He loves being with his family though and anything that would take him away from us (other than the Air Force) he would rather not do. My family and friends would attest that I'm incredibly spoiled and so lucky to have this man as my HUSBAND ~ and I thank God for him EVERY DAY!Happy Birthday my LOVE! Your family loves you so much!

It's been a busy week. I had my youngest son home Tues. & Wed. from school. He was running a fever, had strept throat like symptoms although our visit to the doctor yesterday pretty much ruled that out. Just full of stuff, terrible cough, and quite an array of meds to come home with. Now, my second son has the seal cough and head cold going on but didn't want to stay home from school.

I had two painting classes yesterday. We painted Cosmos on a picture frame. Nicole (left in picture) decided that I needed to start posting pictures of myself when I post their pictures and well, that won't be happening but since my youngest son was there acting all cheeky he took a picture of me, Nicole and Alice. We had such a great class and as usual these two ladies did amazing jobs.

with a cone like petal ~ lovely)
















We painted the same thing in our evening class.
Sharon ~
she travels over an hour to come
to my classes! She is incredibly
sweet!




Barb ~ this was her
first class with me and she did an amazing job!

















Dee ~
Always a riot - very quite tonight though
with a lot on her mind and plate ~ good
luck with things Dee and safe travels on your upcoming trip.



Cheryl ~ this was Cheryls first class with me
and the first time she's painted. She did an amazing job!






I've been getting my other August class projects finished and here are a few ~

Calla Lilies




Orchids











Landscape

Have a few more classes to get ready for plus get all the laminated worksheets and instructions done for each class.
I want to thank all of you again for visiting me here! Congratulations to Christina and Jen and your tiles will be on their way to you ASAP!
Have a fabulous THURSDAY! Smile a lot, laugh even more!



I also got an award from Bonnie in
South Africa ~THANK YOU BONNIE!

You look so beautiful in the picture! But you know, I didnt realize how tall you are. Snap. I hope you will allow us to take more pictures of you. People should know that you are even prettier than your art!
