Creative Tuesdays - April Showers

After the rain...

the grass will always grow....

Even though things may seem dark and dreary at times,

 if we are patient and ride out the storm....

good things eventually begin to sprout!

The theme for this week's Creative Tuesday's is April Showers- 

after the April showers...the May flowers provide hope and new life...

I am sharing this illustration  with my friends over at Creative Tuesdays...

See you there!

Print is available, here in The Shop

holiday decorating at my house

We are almost all decorated at my house!

My house was built in 1763 by a man who was an officer in the Revolutionary War....

I hope he approves of my decorating style!

....it's the most wonderful time of the year and I love to decorate my home for the holidays...

I will be sharing more pictures with you soon, but in the mean time I used my favorite new program

Instagram to alter the above picture just for fun...

 Stay tuned for more photos. Also, come join the fun over at my FACEBOOK page, I am hosting a giveaway! Just wanted to THANK each and everyone of you for your continued support and friendship out there in the BLOG world ....It means so very much to me!!!

Weekend Reads

Happy Friday, my friends.

I am enjoying an old favorite

book with my kids this weekend -

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume -

do you remember it?

and I am almost through with 

 ROOM

by Emma Donoghue -

anyone else read it?

I finished The Help

and have enjoyed listening to the soundtrack this past week in my studio -

 ( thanks to my girls for buying it for me!)

...these two girls above are the same drawing - painted with different mediums -

just playing around while I listen...

Have a great weekend!
