Queen of the Lovebirds

Here it is, frame and all. You can see the gold leafing a little better here.

This is the up close shot of the painting. The only bummer is the gold leafing looks super dull when I scan my work.

Time to start another painting. I will prep for my next piece tonight. Look for some pictures of the girls, I plan on taking some photos of them tonight.

A diffrent take on an old favorite

I know, I know, only certain people will find this amusing. I guess I am one of those few. This is by one of the artists I have on my links, Adrian Johnson. He is a super talented illustrator. I love that his art has such a vintage feel to it. Advertising art from the 20's -60's is some of my favorite.

Mommies little helper

Tonight I was able to talk with my friend Michelle Young. She used to live here in Reno and now lives in Washington State with her beautiful family. Today she e-mailed her new blog address to all her friends. She has started a business creating fashionable accessories for mothers. All of her items are extremely useful and made out of lovely vibrant fabrics. Keep her in mind for a unique hand made baby shower gift.

A little color added

I got a pretty good start on this last night considering Dean and I watched a movie that we had to turn in this morning. I am hoping to have it finished up by tonight. I'm kind of on a roll and I don't want to loose my motivation. So I will probably paint a few more things and then hopefully start some sewing this weekend. Look for the finished picture late this evening.

Party till you drop

All the gang enjoying some birthday cake.

Abby wanted a Yoda birthday cake, I think that is so cute. She is a huge star Wars fan.

Happy birthday Abby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A pampered afternoon. Kirsten took Sloan and Abby to get their nails done. When they got home Abby's Nana fixed her most yummiest famous tacos for the girls. Then the girls provided a little entertainment for the family with some Hannah Montana karaoke.

We are so blessed to have Kirsten and her family in our lives. I know Sloan loves having Abby as a best bud. This was a special weekend for Sloan. She loves to go and get her nails done. I don't take her because it's just not my thing (pedicures are a different story). So this was a super special treat.
