An Artist is Born

We had a little visitor yesterday. "That Baby" came and stayed with us yesterday. Buzzy has finally learned her name and called her Amberwynn all day! I must say, two little ones was quite a difference than one. Buzzy's only child syndrome was obvious!! He just wasn't accustomed to another little one being here when he got up and playing with his stuff. He could handle her playing with his stuff, but his pillow was another story!! He is ATTACHED to that pillow and did not want her near it and, of course, she wanted HIS pillow. I even got her a cute animal one off of his bed. Nope, she wanted his!! Their visit went well, I just needed a whistle and a black and white referree shirt from time to time!! I am so upset, because my batteries for my camera were dead and I didn't get one picture of them all day. It didn't help that I was painting most of the time too=)!!

I am LUVIN' this painting stuff. I have gone paint crazy. I like it maybe a smidget better than scrapbooking - Sorry K & Carol! I still am going to scrapbook, I just am going to save it for when i get together with my scissor sisters. Our church is supposed to be having a Scrapbook Day one Saturday a month, so I will get bunches done on those days...hopefully!

Mom and I saw a brush box at our class the other night. They make them in the more advanced classes, so we were all about finding a box to paint for our brushes. Well...of course, they don't make the boxes anymore. I found these cute little remote holders at Hobby Lobby. They have a lazy suzanne on the bottom and I called it a brush box!! I painted one for myself (see below) and was so excited that I painted Mom's for her too. Her's turned out much better than mine. The more I practice the better I get. I know by the end of my beginner class, I will definately be having stuff published in art magazines!!! Doesn't hurt to dream!!



This was the very first thing that I painted after my first class. I am going to redo Buzz Ashley's bathroom. I have already hung his new shower curtain and he has a cute little lion rug. I painted these little pics to hang over his potty. I was really proud of them. IF I get really confident, I am going to paint a giraffe on his wall. Notice the "if" is in all caps!!!






This is my little brush box. It's okay, but I like Mom's a lot better. I might have to redo it. I think it would also work good for scrapbook stuff.

Like I said, I am LUVIN' this painting. We are doing bird houses this week and next week, we are painting on ceramic tiles. I will post all my projects!!
