A friend brought these birdhouses to me before Christmas for an After Christmas gift. The Best Part? The words, "Paint whatever you want on them!" How I love to hear those words. And a wedding gift for a wedding that Jenn and Chris were attending. Finished at literally the 11th hour...11:00 on Friday night. A handmade walnut bracelet, made for me by my friend, Carol. I love it! Coming soon: The tutorial for this message board.

Thursday evening I had to do a "favor" painting that I have been putting off. A man had brought some slate to me late in the summer and wanted a stone in front of his house painted with his name on it. I have been procrastinating that job for over a month. I finally ran out the other night after work and got it finished. It really didn't take that long...why do I do that? These are pics from on the way home from there. I forgot, of course to take a pic of the stone once it was painted. Wish that I could have got a clearer pic of these birdhouses. They are all along this road. And these little friends stopped to pose once I almost hit them. This bush is in my MIL's yard. Every year it just glows with color. And these mums started from this little start of a plant that I had years ago. ...
