Can I just say, I love watercolors! I was originally going to draw this photograph of my husband’s grandparents as a Christmas gift for them, but I decided to paint it instead. I used the same style as my mini paintings, but this one is a 5×7. I’m a bit disappointed that Oma’s glasses turned…
I have been avoiding posting anything on the blog this week, because I just love seeing our Christmas photo right at the top of the page. So I figured I’d ease back into posting by sharing another photo that makes me happy. I love watching these two play together, they love each other so much…
First off, I just want to thank Chelsey for hosting such an awesome contest. I have had this idea in my head for almost a year now and I’m am just giddy with excitement that we made it work. Seriously, I had way too much fun with this! So even if I don’t win, I’m…
My Thanksgiving weekend was nothing short of awesome. We had lots of fun goofing off and relaxing as a family. On Thursday we drove out to St. Louis to have dinner At Shaun’s cousin’s house. The food was delicious and the table length was quite impressive! It is always nice to see family. (And not…

My friend Lia nominated me in her Liebster Award post. I don’t usually do these, mostly because I am super forgetful. But I’m sitting at work right now with not much to do, and I decided to schedule a few blog posts for this weekend so I can enjoy the fine art of doing nothing…
I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with watercolor lately. Last week I wanted to try something new, and then Rachel posted this super cute picture on Instagram, and it was just the motivation I needed. This painting is absolutely tiny, it’s ATC sized (2.5×3.5) and done with watercolor and pen. I love reading…

Wishlists are fun. They keep me from buying things, and then I have a nice little collection of things that I like. With all of the Christmas shopping I have been doing this week, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at Wishlists. (I’m 90% done with the shopping! My goal is to have everything…
