Hi there! Been a while since my last post, life is so whirlwind isn't it? I managed to finish some projects as seen in the photos, a Cottage bench, wash stand, and vintage pillar column. They all came out so pretty! Other than painting, just sewing, cleaning and some home improvements, as always. I did get a new cell phone this week a razr, I wanted a blackberry but at 500 that was out of my budget range, but the razr is great too, I can get my email and go web surfing, I'm so happy about that! As they say your Always Connected ! That's me now, I guess....I had grand plans of finishing my book this summer but I'm only one woman so not sure when exactly. We have plans for a DVD ( Learning how to paint roses) Part of a book and DVD collection, Paint your "Art" Out ! My new book Title is Embellish Your "Art" Out! The DVD is nerve racking since I'm not a fan of being on camera, Yikes. I'm not teaching one stroke, but my different techniques I've learned after 12 years of oil painting. These projects will be finished soon, I'm hopeful....Since I home school I have to work around that schedule , Micayla is now in 6Th grade, so lots of science projects this year. Have a happy rest of summer , make every minute count!! Hugs , Kimberly
