Clay & Paint Classes, braces and more

We had an awesome clay class this month!! I so loved this project that ended up
in my head at 2:30a.m. one morning and it was fun creating it! The ladies all loved it
and did such a great job!

We used Studio Clay by Sculpey and attached it to a canvas that I had prepainted for all of the ladies. We created daffodils, tulips, little white flowers and a dragonfly. Too fun!!

Braces finally off!!!

I felt so bad that I had classes already scheduled because my middle guy couldn't get his braces off last week and instead of having to wait any longer hubby took off work so he could get them off on Monday! He was so excited and I begged to take a final picture of them on. His first request.....GUM! I'm sure he had it while he had his braces on but we were sticklers about him having it or anything gummy/chewy - too much $ spent on those teeth!!

Yesterday we painted a floral silhouette with quotes/scripture that the ladies got to pick out themselves. They turned out so pretty!!

Cindy actually called me an hour after class to tell me she took an order and sold a painting while checking out at the register at Hobby Lobby - the lady loved her painting and asked if she could order one!! How cool is that! She just paid for the class she took!!

Didn't bowl so great today - 160, 126, and 150 - couldn't get used to one lane being slippery and the other one being sticky - feel like I tried too much to compensate for those conditions that I pulled something in my shoulder.

Looking forward to the next few days of organizing, painting, and creating!!

Have a fabulous day!!

TOO MUCH Spring Cleaning,
A fun day with my friend Kim,
some awesome Certifications and
my oldest is now 16!!


How's that for a blog post title??
Been busy with so much but let me catch you up just a bit -
got bitten by the spring cleaning bug early and woke up this past Saturday READY to clean, organize and just get things moved and clutter free! Hubby was THRILLED by this mood I woke up in and was very on board and ready to get rid of some stuff!! So wish I had taken before photos - and the after still isn't worthy of photos - have I mentioned before how much STUFF I have? too much actually!




Thought this picture of my doggy Becks pretty much summed up how I felt on Saturday after a FULL day of cleaning!

























My friend Kim won a drawing to come and spend the day with me creating with clay and painting! We created these two gorgeous projects and had so much fun just chatting and getting to know each other better.

























































I had a Clay Certification earlier in the month and had 6 fabulous ladies attend! They were so into all the projects and just created away - soaking in all the information! We had a blast!























Then last week I had a three day Level 1 One Stroke Painting Certifications with 3 fabulous ladies! They all did a fabulous job!!










So hard to believe that my oldest is now 16 years old!! After church we went to one of our favorite restaurants - Cheddar's and then later in the evening had some yummy chocolate cake and ice cream. I snuck away for an hour to pop over to my friend - Nicole's 40th b-day party! Our oldest is such a gentle, sweet and loving boy! I could brag on him so much!! He's incredible and I just adore him!
Love this picture of my hubby and son taken yesterday!




































Great news to hear today too that my grandmother doesn't have to have knee surgery right now. Doctor will look next week and see if it's something that should happen and when but he's not rushing it which is great news!!

Have a fabulous week!
Blessings,

Olive Jar and blossoms
Yesterday in paint class we painted olive jars with branches and blossoms. Everyone did a fabulous job! Several took their painting straight to the framing section of Hobby Lobby and got theirs framed and they looked amazing framed. Gonna have to get mine down this week while the frames are on sale.

Bowling wasn't so great today - scores 156, 152, and 144. I've done something to my right hand and by the last game could barely pick up my ball let alone any spares. Feel like I pulled something so just might have to get it checked out.
Have a great week.
Blessings,
Sandy
