HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!
I'm away from my computer with all my photos so can't post any but wanted to make sure I got a post on saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MOM!!! 
We love you so much!  Hope you have a great day!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend ALL ~ please take time to reflect this weekend on how many men and women have served and continue to serve our great nation so that we can exercise the freedoms we have today! We as a country take so much for granted and I think a lot of times forget about the men and women on the front lines, in harms way so that we can continue to have those freedoms!  Being a military brat myself I am grateful and so appreciative for all those past and present soldiers and from the bottom of my heart ~  THANK YOU!!

Have a great day.

Calla Lilies & Pansies





We made Calla Lilies in clay class and I just love this project!! The ladies did such a great job! Sue and Gloria had enough time to make another one and did one with Yellow Calla Lilies - aren't they gorgeous! I could so see these lined up down a table at a wedding!

Silly me forgot to take pictures at class one day so thanks Rachel for sending me your photo!

In paint class we painted these great lap desks from Hobby Lobby with pansies - I painted one side with a small design in the corner and then the other side with a bigger design along the bottom and the students could choose which style they wanted.

I finally have a weekend at HOME - looking forward to hanging out with my boys - although it sounds like a lot of running around to friends house! Looking forward to my oldest getting his license but then again - not really! I'll be a worried sick mom everytime he pulls out of that driveway!

Hoping to get some late spring cleaning done and get my studio organized as well. Looks like a tornado blew through. Hoping to get some blog reading done too - I've been so bad for years now getting around to all those great blogs on my side bar to the right!

Hard to believe that today is my boys last day of school too! Where has this school year gone?? We did LOVE having Monday's off - made Sundays a true family day where we could go to church come home have a relaxing lunch and just hang out instead of rushing to get ready for the week - finish homework, etc. The boys did super in school again this year with all A's and several awards at the awards banquets.
Looking forward to days at the pool and just being home!!
Have a blessed day.

Reverse Painting - Dogwood ~

We painted dogwood in April - some pink and some white ~ on these large square candle holders you can get at Hobby Lobby. We painted them in reverse so that they could still be used to have something on top and it wouldn't affect the design painted because it's underneath. Cool huh?
