Real women love football.

 I had some smaller wood that I picked up at the store that was just hanging out and needed some love. Here are some new signs! 

 These are a special order for a few Hawk fans! 

 You betcha. We do. 

 A special order for a special lady! 

Go Hawks! 

Window menu board GIVEAWAY!!

 That's right. You heard me.  YOU could walk away (if you're local, sorry peeps that live far away) with this fabulous menu board.  The words are written on there with dry erase marker.  You can write menus, or to-do lists....anything! It wipes right off.

What do you have to do?

1. If you're not a fan on Facebook already, click on the Facebook fan page (see column on the right) and become a fan.
2. Invite a few friends too!
3. Write on my wall and tell me what you are going to do to pay it forward to someone this week!
4. Don't have Facebook? No problem! Leave a comment here!

I'll have a mystery judge look at the entries and pick a favorite.  The only catch? You have to come pick it up!


Ready.


Set.


Go!

 Here is a new window I just finished this morning.  I had a request to use teals and blues and silver....and this is what I came up with. It looks much better in person!

 Wouldn't this look good in your kitchen?  I think, YES!

Have a wonderful and safe weekend! 

I'll Fly Away

 Here are some illustrations that I did recently.  They are on old dictionary pages and are for sale up at Penns and Needles in Mt.Vernon.  She also has some pretty amazing quilts, jewelry and fabric.  Makes me wish I could sew.

 This is one of my favorite hymns, "His Eye is on the Sparrow."  The words are so simple yet powerful. This is an 8x10 on watercolor paper....it may be spoken for! ($45 framed)

 I know this is really hard to see, but it turned out great. It's headed to Georgia!

 I'm loving my new copper paint!  This window is 32'' by 33'' inches (give or take an inch) $100

 Cyclone fan anyone?

 More family rules signs!  LOVE them AND they have been selling like hot cakes. My husband is on his way to Menards to get more wood as we speak!

 We can't forget about the SOONERS.  I think of all the teams I've done, they have the most loyal fans.....maybe :)

This window, with awesome little box, was brought to me by a wonderful customer. She already has a bunch of windows in her house.  This will add to her collection!
