FOOTBALL, ROSES AND MORE!

Let me tell you how excited we were last night when my sons middle school team won their first football game in 4 years and 3 games! YES, 4 years and 3 games!! They won 16-14 and it was such an exciting (& stressful) game. I always go to any sporting event telling myself that I have to stay in control - once a cheerleader I guess always a cheerleader! I was hoping not to embarass myself or heaven forbid my son out on the field. At one point my husband slid down and when I went to sit down on the bench after jumping to my feet with a loud scream I noticed he was much further down the bench than where I was. My son got in the car after the game and the first thing out of his mouth was - "NEW RULE! Mom is not allowed to yell GO!GO!GO!GO!GO! at the games anymore" hehehe - didn't realize I was that loud - okay really I did and do - I'm a loud person at sporting events and can't help it. We were all so excited and the boys on the field were just beside themselves for having WON a game!

ROSES ~Yesterday in paint class we painted roses! Everyone did such a fabulous job - most have never painted roses before - which I think is a very hard thing to paint!

What I've been working on ~ I have been asked to be the FEATURED ARTIST at the BYRON WELCOME CENTER in BYRON, GA for the entire month of October ~ YIPPEE! and these are a couple of the things I have been working on to be displayed.

I purchased some of these chunky framed pieces of art at Hobby Lobby with the intention of re-creating them with paint and clay. Here is what it started out like and then I painted it with High Definition paint by PLAID! LOVE THAT PAINT! Very dimensional and dries with the most gorgeous sheen! I had intended to paint paint something down it but my husband suggested clay sunflowers! OH MY ~ was he ever right! I put them on it was exactly how he had imagined it after seeing the background painted like it was and I have to agree - I love it!









































Of course since we live in the PEACH STATE ~ I had to painted peaches on something. I had done a pitcher and glass set that sold at the Battle of Byron event this past May so I thought I'd paint another to show the month of October!














Going to work on some more things and get ready for my ROOSTER classes tomorrow! Have a great day.

BLESSINGS,
Sandy
