BIG Etsy sale.....

Hi friends...
I'm having a big sale at my etsy shop.  In honor of Spring time, I'm offering a buy one get one free on any of my six Farm Animal Collection.  Just order one of them, and  when you check out, write me a note telling me which free animal print you would like.  The sale will start today and go until the end of March.

The Farm Animal Collection would make a great baby gift.

This life...

This life is so very temporary and fragile.  We need to remember to live it to its fullest and cherish those we love, every day.  I pray for all those suffering from the Japan earthquake and tsunami.  It's so strange to me to think that as I sit here in my warm home, safe and surrounded by love, that someone elses world has come to an end.  God bless those suffering souls.  My heart goes out to them.

So what do you do when you live in Oregon and it's pouring rain all day long?  You stay in your pjs all day and paint farm animals of course!

127 hours

Just watched the movie 127 HOURS, starring James Franco. He was awesome and the movie was great. I really believe that if I was stuck like he was, that I would be able to cut off my own arm in order to stay alive. Im sure I could. Would you be able to cut off your own arm in order to save your life?

BLESSED WITH YOU

All finished with this new piece and adding it to my Etsy shop today.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  Hope you like!
