Pumpkin Pancakes Tree







Hi Everyone!!! It's been a long time since I posted. I have been under the whether for a few weeks. I'm feeling a lot better now and I'm ready to get painting. I'm also babysitting my new grandson three days a week. I started last week and boy does that tire me out. I'm so glad I had my children when I was young. I'm lucky thou because my husband is retired and he is here to help me so I can still work. I just have to make sure I get a lot of painting done on the days I don't have him. I did finally get a Fall tree done today. It's called Pumpkin Pancakes. It's a pattern from Painting with Friends. Design by Terrye French and painting by Martha Smalley. The tree will make a wonderful holiday decoration to display until Thanksgiving. I have it listed on Ebay. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!!!!

Ethan Robert

Well I finally found the time to post that my Grandson was born on July 20th. His name is Ethan Robert. I stayed with my daughter for a week at her house. Boy did I forget what it takes to take care of a newborn baby. I was so tired.  I love him dearly but I was sure glad to get back home and sleep in my own bed. She is lucky he is a very good baby. I'm posting a picture of me holding him the day after he was born. I don't usually like to post pictures of myself but I couldn't resist this one. My first picture as a Grandma!! Now I have to catch up on all my special orders and my Fall painting. Have a great week everyone!!!!

Not Long Now!!!!





Hi Everyone!! Hope you all had a great 4th of July. My daughter had us over for a bbq and some swimming. She just found out on Tuesday that she is scheduled to have her baby on July 19th in the morning. So we don't have much longer to go:). So I'm trying to get some painting done before my Grandson is born  because I will be helping my daughter out for awhile. In the beginning of the week I finished painting this scarecrow on a small case. I have it listed on Ebay. I also just started selling figurines from ESC Trading company. I have always loved these cute figurines and decided to start selling them myself. Now I just have to remember to sell them and not keep them for myself. The Pumpkin Lad and Lass are in the picture with the case. Well I hope you all have a great rest of the week, if you can with this awful heat. Thanks so much for stopping by:)
