Art for Mom

Why not get Mom flowers that can hang on her wall? Sweet, colorful, cute ones full of expression and character? How 'bout 3?

Here's a preview of the ones I'm working on:

OK, Joel and Josiah went camping Saturday and that left me mucho time! It's amazing how little you have to do when all you have is your 1 year old to take care of. No hubby coming up with random tasks, I could have a one track mind! No toddler to grab things, I could leave my wine glass on the table all night! I must say that 24 hour period was very very quiet, almost uncomfortably so. I watched MY movies, and went whereever I wanted to go. That's Joann's, Staples, and Moe's cuz heck no I wasn't cooking!

It was very nice to have one on one time with my daughter. Every once and awhile I think about preschool for Jos and think it would be good for me and Eden to have time just us. That's if I could ever ever afford it. But it was fun playing with her. She is so close to walking and talking. Her little voice makes me so happy. I can't wait to hear the things she wants to talk about. She sleeps so much when Josiah isn't around too! I mean Sunday we slept in til 8:45!! Amazing. I am taking a break from formal painting and trying to get Eden's baby book done(?) for her first birthday....next week. HA! If I win Joy's contest Eden will have one killer layout for her book. Because of my paper swap partner Jen and her generous supply, Eden has some nice accents that I don't have to create! I'm so stingey with those fancy papers, I rarely buy them. I figure, I can make those patterns myself. The next step is to make my own rubber stamps. I allow myself 2 new stamps a year. I got a cool target Jasper Johns style stamp, and a line of stars, and a stamp for a friend.

Thanks everyone for your kind words after my bleah day. It's never fun to get rejected, but I have many opps to be thankful for and many artsy things to do just this week! It's a blessing that my Be Still piece didn't make the show because I was able to get it to Gallery Street this morning for a giclee for the Perkins, and the original to the Wiegers sooner than I thought!

Another thing I was totally obsessed with this weekend was the Covenant Alum Community site. Wow, it has gotten huge in like 2 weeks! very cool trying to bustle through all the names and remember who everyone is. I mean, I am connected with so many CC grads already that this is just another perk to finding more old friends. If you went to Covenant, even for a little bit, and haven't signed up yet do it! And find your friends!

Oh my, I am so adicted to that site too. Everyone I talk to is, it is sooooo much fun. I have to restrict myself at work, or I would get nothing done!
