Paint Me a Symphony

I love old hymns.  They are saturated in so much rich theology and musical creativity.  Totally paint worthy!  I found this great, old hymnal at the thrift store the other day and was so excited to start tearing it up and using the pages for art and painting projects.  

Teacher Gifts

Seriously, how many boxes of chocolates or jars of smarties can a teacher get before her dentist recommends a career change?  Teachers are amazing (and I'm not just saying that because I am married to one).  They work incredibly hard doing something insanely important.  I love doing something special to thank them.  Although you can't beat cash and gift cards, another great gift is a custom painting.  Here are some examples...

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice

As a mom of just boys, I am always delighted to get to paint for little girls.  Princesses, fairies, flowers, hearts, and lots and lots of pink.  I think art is a fabulous way to celebrate the special birthday of your princess or to cheer up the simple walls of her bedroom.  Girls are just plain darling.

Wild Things

As a mom of two rowdy boys, Where The Wild Things Are has become one of our most favorite bed time reads.  Nestled into the pages of ugly monsters and a naughty boy is one of the sweetest expressions of love I have seen... "Oh please don't go, I'll eat you up, I love you so."  Just about as precious as a full nelson hug from a sweaty, darling little boy.  Perfect.
