I had to make an entry on 9/10/11! That is just too cool! Life has been busy and good. School started and we went right back into the flow of things. Start times are different this year with Drew going at 7:45 (which means we have to leave the house at 7:30am Ouch! That's early!) and Zach starts at 8:54 am. Even with all the things that are different this year, things have still been smooth. ☺ Thank God! I worked the first week of school subbing for one of my friends at Drew's school. Her little second graders were adorable and made for a really fun first week of school! I wasn't able to get the first day of school pictures this year. Boo! With me being gone when Zach left, and he wasn't dressed when I left! This is Drew's last year in elementary school. He is a 6th grader!! I know this will be a fun year!
I have had this "painting itch" for a few weeks now. I want to paint everything! (Well, maybe not EVERYTHING! Dan suggested I paint the back fence and I was like, NO THANKS!!!)
I want to paint cabinets, stencil designs onto the wall...decorative things, not fences! ha! However, I can't get Dan to agree on my painting anything!! He likes everything the way it is. I guess in a way, that's okay, because painting is a BIG job! He's saving me some work...
Well, today, not much was going on around here, so I decided since I didn't have any cabinets to paint, I'd pull out a canvas I'd had laying around for about a year and paint on it. Thankfully, I have a full supply of small acrylic paints of many colors, so I was able to paint my design without having to go anywhere to get what I needed. Anyway, I had seen these cute painted canvas's on a website and they were for sale. Of course, I loved them all, but didn't want to pay $25 to $30 dollars for each one....so I decided to paint my own...
And here they are....
