Just look at Heavenleighart's awesome art!!! I've loved Julie-Ann's art and have enjoyed her growth along the way....this is one of my favorites so had to share it with those who may not have had the pleasure of seeing it...

My daughter April turns 35 tomorrow!

Well one of my daughters is having a Birthday tomorrow, and there was one thing she really wanted from me. I'd painting a seascape that my sister Mary loved so I sent it to her....later I found out that April wanted it too. Yes, I painted a new one just for her!!! I posted it in FB so she would find it...I'm so happy she did for it was exciting to here her reply!!!

What an awesome day!!!

Today is much like yesterday, cool, low humitity, breezy and a glimpse of days to come! I am so thankful for being in an area where you can see all the seasons~ I can sit out on the deck and create paintings with all God's glory around me...the trees starting to fall and the sun shining down on me unlike any other light!!! Oh and the birds just singing their hearts out as I work...my what joy this brings to my soul!!! As I take in all that beauty as my lungs take in the clear, clean and crisp air I'm reminded that I have been so totally blessed. Not with worldly things, far from it...but with the knowledge that God loves me as much as he does all of you...isn't that just the most awesome fact??? I was sitting here thinking I would like to share some of the paintings I've do lately...perhaps even some of the chunky book pages I've become so enamired with.(sp) hehehee!!! so here they are...just remember I pray that you all have a wonderful day, and if I haven't stopped by your blogs lately...I will!!

My August entry for Mide Wide Open

The second photo is the prompt picture for August's challenge, so I decided to play up this little darling swinging in a real (sure) tree using an 8x10 canvas board and using acrylic paints. It's a mixed media collage with some whimsy!!!

This was really fun and I suggest if you haven't been to check out Mind Wide Open before you should...you may just decide you'd love to join in!!!

Oh, there's a little block that says "Mind Wide Open" just click on it and it will take you there! Just let GAIL (who comes up with all these awesome challenges) you want to join in!!!!
Blessings

God loves you and so do I!

My little sister, Mary!!

This is my sweet sister, Mary at the ripe ole' age of 4!!! Some of you may be following her blog and/or have met her in several of the NING Networks....if so you've seen the picture of her and the awesome smile she has. I posted this photo of her in my other blog, but wanted to share it here too...don't miss checking her awesome blog out if you haven't been there before. http://asplendidadventure.blogspot.com

Have a great rest of the week!!!

Blessings.

Here are some 4x4 cards for trading. I discovered just this week that 4x4 cards can be made in to what's called Chunky Books...I am going to make one and will share it with you went it's finished! This is really fun finding that there's more to making cards for trade! Chunky pages are thick, and have ribbons or yarns with charms attached usually on the right side of the card...this is sooooooooo much fun!!!

Look what my friend Marcela sent me! I can't wait to see if she like what I created for her! Do go visit Patti at her blog http://treasurebarnblog.blogspot.com/ and see what a beautiful blog she has!!!

How sweet is this?

While washing the morning dishes I looked out the window and saw my first *family* and ran (walked) quickly to find my camera!!! What a wonderful sight to see Momma deer with her twin babies who still have their spots!!! Isn't it awesome what God brings into view if we just look? I hope you can see them thru the fence as well as I could when taking the picture!!! I'm still smiling from this awesome treat!!!

Blessings to all of you who stop by to visit. What makes you smile???
