It just can't be easy....

It just can't be easy being married to me...  Here's a sample of a conversation between my husband and I this morning:

Him- "Kel, do you separate the colors from the whites?"
Me- "yea, sometimes..."
Him- "Kel, you need to separate the whites...mine are getting all dingy.  Come on Kel, thats what people do, they separate the colors from the whites!"
Me- "alright alright...(sigh)
Him- "pretty soon you'll be putting the dishes in with the laundry, just to get it done faster!"
Me- "I don't want to be a grown up!"

Thank God he is patient with me :)

Newest painting in progress...

Here's my newest painting that I've been working on...

I'm going with a shabby chic pallette for this one...

Still working on this, but should be done this week.  I love painting Mamas and thier babies :)

Even when the good out weighs the bad by 98>2, that 2% still hurts :(
Time for me to thicken up this thin skin of mine!

This is so thrilling for me!

I believe....

I believe that God speaks to us in lots of different ways. Sometimes all you have to do is to listen, not with your ears, but with your heart. I believe that when we ask him a question, that he will answer. Its just the most wonderful feeling when he answers...and you know its him...you just know.

for someone special...

Sending out a specially wrapped gift for someone special!
