Painted Glass
I loved painting these glasses for one of my sons teachers.  I had painted some glasses for her a couple of years ago for a teachers gift and she asked if I'd do some tropical/beach themed glasses for her and her friend. 

They get together during the summer and take a "girls trip" this year they were making the trip with one less friend unfortunately because she lost her battle with cancer.   She wanted some glasses for her and her friend so that they could remember this trip together.   I loved the little accents on the base of the glass - shells, flip flops and their names.  Then I painted each of them one with a fluffy flamingo complete with magenta glitter and all!

Perfect for summer don't you think!
Have a fabulous day!

 Graduation Trip to Memphis
My younger sister and I road tripped to Memphis a few weeks ago for our nephews graduation.  Was a quick trip in town spend a hole day and out of town the next but we wouldn't have missed it for anything.    We're so proud of Chandler! He is going to be a HUGE asset to the soccer team at Memphis University!!

Was also great seeing some familiar faces ~ all the family & friends.   Great to also see Tammy & Connor and meet Tammys beau and see Jessica (thanks for taking photos Jessica).
Plus, it was awesome to see Chad B. from high school.  Haven't seen him since maybe our 10 year high school reunion?

On our way to Memphis we passed through Birmingham and couldn't believe the devestation from the tornadoes that had ripped through there in April. We stopped on the way home and took some pictures. It was so quiet and even with a bus load of people there looking at the devestation it was quiet - really no words to say - just beyond devestating. 



Kinda reminds ya we're not promised tomorrow huh? Make the most of your today with family & friends and be thankful for what you have!!

Blessings,
Sandy

 Angel Trumpet Flowers

This month has been so crazy busy & on my way home from my nephews graduation in Memphis I realized I didn't post pictures from my last class.

We painted Angel Trumpet Flowers - a flower I've wanted to paint and teach for a long time. I was blown away with how awesome everyone did. No pattern - just practiced before going to the canvas and painting the design.

I'm trying to work in June Classes. I have a Prep Course and Certification but am finding it difficult to work in some dates for class. I know several of my students are wondering when my schedule is gonna come out - will make that decision by tomorrow and let you all know.

Have a wonderful day!!

Blue & White Vase with Yellow Lily

Had a fabulous class on Friday and think everyone did such a fabulous job on their paintings!


We painted a blue and white vase with a yellow lily in the vase. I had also painted a smaller vase with several lilies in it that I loved but realized there was just no way to get that done in the 2 1/2 hour class.

Looking forward to paint classes tomorrow - we are painting Angel Trumpets!

This morning started off a bit eventful - fortunately I wasn't up so didn't get to see the surprise - THANKFULLY!

Hubby usually likes to have a cup of coffee when he sits down to read the Sunday paper before church and this morning he got it out of the mailbox, plopped it down on the counter in the kitchen and a black widow spider crawled out. I would have LOST it ~ thankfully I was still sleeping!  I HATE spiders - big, small, baby, you name it - the only good spider is a dead spider. I know, they kill insects and do all these other great things I'm sure but I am terrified of them and they freak me out!!!

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Sandy
