Happy Birthday Debbie!
Today my little sister turns "37"!
Hope you have a great birthday sis - sorry you have to spend it at work!














Friday and Saturday paint classes


At paint class on Friday we painted Christmas Wall hangings. We used the same canvas material that we used for the table runners earlier in the week.
I started this project with 3 snowflakes in the 3 squares.
Then at class, I gave everyone the option of painting ornaments or snowflakes or both - well of course, Nicole chose to paint ornaments and they were so AWESOME that I had to paint them on the "giveaway piece" that I do in class. Barb won the drawing so got to take home the one I did below.





















I liked the ornaments so much that I changed my original to have 3 ornaments in the middle for my class on Saturday.

















Since Oct. is my one year anniversary of teaching painting classes at HL ~ I decided that every student will get something from me at every class in October ~ a party favor sort of ~ well that is 71 things ~ the most students I've ever had in one month!

For the weekend classes I painted these rose ornaments for each of my students. I painted some glass frames as well but forgot to take photos of those.

REALLY enjoyed both classes yesterday. I agree with Doriann...you are so very PATIENT! I was exhausted so I know you had to be too! The "party favors" were absolutely gorgeous and so appreciated. You are so generous and thoughtful. I'll take a picture of the frame you painted and post it on my blog soon. I cut around my table runner last night and it is just too cute! See you at tomorrow night's class! Hugs ~ Kim
