Where have I been!?

**updated** The "B" has found a home! Thanks friends! I really didn't think anyone would want it! I need to start thinking outside the box! I might have some more "practice" stuff around here! I'll keep you all posted.

I really had no clue it had been so long since I posted?! Bet you all think I got a lot done since I didn't post? haha - yea, I wish! I really have no idea where I've been, except the daily grind! And I've really not alot to say today?!

Okay, give me a minute and once I get going I'm sure I will!

I have only a few minutes to do this post - I have to wake up my kids from nap {early} and get them ready to go to a birthday party at "Monkey Joe's" {what a name?} - a bounce place and Hudson is actually excited?! I'm shocked - normally he would scream at me, "No Monkey Joe's" only because he has no idea what it is! But I showed them all pictures, we have talked about, etc . . . I'll let you all know how it goes! I'm excited {somewhat} but dreading it at the same time. You never know with this bunch!!


So, how funny does my almost 16 month old look with NO TEETH!? I know you think you might see something on top - don't fool yourself - it's nothing! Not a single tooth bud to be felt!?! Crazy - I tell ya'! And yes, this is the "new" face when she smiles for the camera - she "wants" the flash on! And gets upset if it isn't? Weird - I know!


Anybody like this "B" . . . enough to own it?? I tried a new aging technique {practicing} and it really darkened up the green. Alot more than I wanted. There is nothing wrong with the painting, it's just not the "sage" color I offer - more of an "olive" green. The accent is gold on the brown swirls.


It's packaged and ready to go! If anyone wants it - please email me - I'll offer it up to the first person who responds! {I don't know why I said that - no one might want it!}


I package the classic collection up a little different than the other paintings. I try to give it more of a grown-up look and not so cutesy as my other packaging. Sooooo, basically the "B" you see above would be a great gift if you don't "need" it . . . Christmas is around the corner! For Pete's sake, Hobby Lobby has already started setting Christmas stuff out!

I'm really about out of time! So in closing. I'll leave you with this . . .


Why yes - that is a sneaky peek! I'm so glad I could paint my dot roses - it's been awhile and I love them so! Uhmm, and yes that is the same stripes from these paintings!

Monkey Joe's here we come!
