The day after...

This is what I have been working on at home ,to create a date night set of Paisley Wet Kiss...I have been trying to make one a little more feminine and one more masculine... What do you guys think??? Did I hit the mark ,or what???

 Very  Scary... It is me teaching class last night for a packed house..16 people of which were celebrating a "Mardi Gras"  Birthday, and they passed out these lovely masks. 
What was I thinking?? But we did all have a great time painting....and they all did a great job too....

Why did I mention it ????

This morning ,the sun is coming up and it is in the 40's but it is going to get colder as the week goes on...
   Oh sure as soon as I get excited about nice weather for one day here, we of course , are getting ready for the coldest weather in many years over this coming weekend....
We had company for dinner last night and I cooked ...I do not get to do that as often now, so it was fun for a change, and everything was yummy,
If I do say so myself...we had a bit of fun celebrating birthdays...

  The Blue Rooster

I am calling this one" Paisley Wet Kiss."

I am teaching The Blue Rooster this Thursday, come on down and paint it with me....
I am creating the paisley wet kiss as we speak ,to be taught at sometime in the near future... Keep it in mind....

Spring??

Wasn't I just talking about fall being in my yard last week?? Well look at my Heirloom Azaleas in full ,beautiful ,bloom...WOW....
We had the best weather yesterday,which made it easy for me to get out in the yard and get pictures... Thank You, Thank You....Now today we expect rain and that will bring the cold weather back in for the week,but I see the end of the tunnel, after yesterdays 70 and sunny day....
For all those that are having winter still, Do Not Give Up it will come ...Spring I mean.... and I am not trying to rub this in anyone's face, I was just so in need of this beautiful day, that I got a bit excited....

The Weekend Ahead

Happy Birthday Amy!! 

Have a wonderful day!! 

I Love You!!!!

 Morning Walk

Paisley Giraffe

                These are the two classes I am teaching this weekend....

It is going to be another busy weekend coming up, and that once again,is a good thing....
Lots of sold out classes, and we love it...
Wy had two more teeth pulled yesterday,[The man can't catch a break]...but he is doing well considering the circumstances...

Wy bought me this new sketchbook/journal and I am very excited to put my pencil to paper in it, as soon as possible.. It was hand made by Ben and he is selling them at Benjournalsandart.Bigcartel.com... [I hope I got that address right] .
Go there and take a look, You to can pick one for yourself or someone else.... They are really nice...With many covers to chose from and good heavy duty paper too... Thanks Ben ,I do love it....

Feb.2nd

Still on the theme of Book Club... This is the best dessert I have had in a long time...Thank You,Jill for that suggestion... I finished the book and really enjoyed it,too.....



Yesterday was a hard day to get through, but we have a date for Wy and it is one month away ..that is both a long time and a short time to prepare...so some relief is felt with some dread...we will be glad to get this behind us though,too...


This is a pre-paint for Valentine's day, and it is what we call a date night ,it does not need to be a date,each person does one half of the painting.

Come join us and paint....
See you soon....

Fun,[ Neon Owl 2]....
Well it is off to work for me on this beautiful morning in Florida...
Hope you all have a good day....
