Every year since we’ve been married, I’ve added a new photo Christmas ornament to our collection. One for us, and one for each kid once they showed up to the party. When we’ve been married for 50 years, our whole tree is going to be a giant scrapbook and I love that! (I really try…
It’s been so long since I’ve sat down and wrote a blog post that I’m drawing a complete blank on where to start! We have had a great couple of very busy weeks around here, between Juniper’s birthday and multiple Christmas celebrations. Our house is covered in random packaging and the kids have been busy…
I bought a new toy today. A very expensive new toy… A new lens for my camera! I was planning on saving up for one over this next year, but I have been asked to play professional photographer once again at work, so I figured it made sense to buy it now. Of course, that…
How is it already December 10?? November was a blur. I didn’t even really realize it was December until last Thursday. You know what else I missed? The one year anniversary of my first watercolor! It’s been a year since I’ve started painting these silly portraits and I’m so grateful for all of the opportunities…
Day 362 Daddy took the kids over to the Magic Tree again tonight so I could paint. He was a good sport and tried to take some pictures for me. (I love you Shaun!) Day 363 The weather has been absolutely beautiful this week, and we made sure to take some time to run around…
The title for this post could have very well been “Busy Busy Busy Busy!” I had so much fun working on all of these mini paintings. I think the mini size is my favorite. I love having these all trimmed and mounted sitting on my desk in a neat little pile. They make me happy.…
The past week has been crazy busy. We had a really great long weekend though. On Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner with cousins in St. Louis. It’s always nice to be with family. And the rest of the weekend was spent being together, lounging around the house, sleeping in, and painting up a storm. I…
Well, we managed to do it! Here is our Christmas card for this year. I didn’t think we would be able to make one this year, because I have just been so so busy. But we came up with an idea (Ok, Shaun came up with an idea) and took photos this past weekend. I’m…
Remember the other day when I mentioned a secret project? Well, here they are! Instagram paintings! I’m now offering two sizes in my shop, 4×4 (which these are) and a slightly bigger 6×6. These are super fun to paint because of the Instagram filters. It’s not often I get to paint someone’s hair blue! I…
I am so tired. All. The. Time. Like, my brain is running in slow motion tired, and it takes me forever to conjure up the motivation to do a dang thing. It makes working.. interesting. I am towards the end of a crazy huge project, and I just want it to be done. It doesn’t…
