gimme some

This was so funny to watch & it needed to be shared. Here is Henry's cousin-Elizabeth, torturing him with her yummy, ooey-gooey bowl of chocolate ice cream. He had enough and was going in!

gena's verse

This was a thank-you to my friend, Gena, who graciously hosted our ladies bible study at her home. It is a very special group of women and it has been such a treat knowing them. We are all different ages and in different stages in life and I've learned so much from them. I always look forward to my Tuesday mornings!

new orleans

Hubby & I went to New Orleans for our 5 year anniversary the other weekend. Woo-hoo. Great time and hubby was so indulgent and went with me to my Magazine St. hit list. The old & new faves we wandered into: Derby Pottery, Perch (home decor-would have moved in there), Cafe Baby, Gogo jewelry, UAL & La Divina Gelateria (some of the very best I've had-crazy flavors like avocado, spicey chocolate & the like).

Gigi & Honey

Tim (my hubby) & I are soooo blessed with the best moms in the whole universe. To Henry (and 10 other grandkids between them)-they are Gigi & Honey, here is Henry at the hospital getting his first introduction to them both.

These are pieces I did for them for Mother's Day. "Men are what their mothers made them" is for Tim's mom, the mother to 2 kind, loving men. JoAnna/Honey taught Tim so many wonderful things and I'm so thankful for the way she loves Tim and all of us.

"I remember my mother's prayers & they have always followed me-they have clung to me all of my life." is for my mom, Margaret/Gigi, the praying mother of 4 daughters. She used to pray with us at the kitchen table before we'd go to school in the morning & I know she has never stopped, because I can truly feel her prayers! We love you both & Happy Mother's Day to all of you.

happy mom's day to Janet

This is a commission from my friend Frannie for her mom-Janet. They are a very special family and it was such a treat to do this for her.

pac man mania

Isn't this rad, gnarly, AWESOME. This is a pac man cake that was at a 80's murder mystery party we went to this past weekend. Happy Bday, Brad!!!! So much fun visiting this decade-Tim went as a band member of the band Devo (red flower pot hat people/"Whip It"). I love dressing up and super-fun wearing pink, purple & blue eyeshadow all in the same night.

mr. giraffe's friends

Baby Mosby's mom ordered 3 additional animals for above his crib. I hope they are good company for Mr. Giraffe. Thanks, Maggie! So fun giggling about our junior high memories as I was painting these for Mosby.

rita wren's house

This was a painting I traded with Sarah Wren Brashier in Tupelo (www.brashierfamily.blogspot.com) one of my favorite craftiest friends. Our work is similar-check it out. I got the blue birdy painting on her site! Score for me.

angel wings

I'm sad to see this little angel fly away. I did her for Madison Ridgeland Academy's silent auction, so go bid on her and give her a good home! I may have to make another for our house.

thanks

On a personal note, I wanted to thank you who have placed orders and checked out my work. It means so much, it is a treat to check my email and see that someone wants me to paint something for them. I've had so much fun doing this-really! It is sometimes tricky keeping Henry man from crawling into wet paint or eating my projects-he wants to be a part of everything! Thank you, thank you. Keep the orders coming-I am a happy painter!!!! Here's a recent shot of my little assistant.
