These are handmade heads made by my friend Dick.

He gives them to me to paint and I give them back to

him to create art with. We make a good team !

72 heads...

I made this Mickey Mouse Baby Quilt & Pillow

for my friend Sarah who is having her first baby soon !

I entered a Bra Contest to help fight Domestic Violence and to my surprise
I won 3rd Place !! Which was a $50 gift card to Pita Jungle...yumm took my sisters
and niece to lunch :o)

I found this verse and it is my inspiration to get busy

and draw and paint. I have my easel set up and ready

to get busy... snoopy will lead the way .

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you"
James 4:8

The Gift that keeps on giving !

I saw this on my friend, Janet's blog, thought it was a cute idea, so I signed up! And now I'm paying it forward.

So, here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog (or in an e-mail to friends) to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Just the thought of receiving something in the mail that isn't a bill is delightful! Come and play!
Now, remember "ya get what ya get and ya don't throw a fit".
