for being such a wonderful customer!! I’m quite sure that Jeanette likes her new painting … showing it off (via her camera) and praising me every chance she gets. I even received a beautiful ‘dream’ card and the message inside is very touching.

Thanks again … and here’s hoping that all my future customers are as happy as you!!
painting on canvas …

In 2007 I really wanted to paint a canvas … something I could put on display in the living room. This is what I put together …

When I had my first Stampin’ Up! night at home, (back in March), one of my friends, Jeanette, saw my painting and loved it … I was very flattered! Then she asked if I could do one for her, with her colours. I was scared, but I agreed. We had a ‘no stress’ policy, and I’ve finally finished. Jeanette will pick it up tomorrow … and I really hope she likes it!

Last night I had an idea to use Stampin’ Up!’s Pick a Petal set, using denim, and a dictionary page. I added a felt flower and a corduroy brad, and here is the result.

There is a new Stampin’ Up! spring mini catalogue due out on 1 August – so exciting!! There is an oval scallop punch which I just adore and the Oval All set co-ordinates perfectly. Here is a preview of a card I made …

In the past week I have worked on this canvas. I had a few components sitting around the studio and decided to put them all together. The central believe canvas was made, and my 9 year old daughter said “it doesn’t catch my attention” .. and I was a bit sad. She was right though, so I mounted in on another pink canvas that I prepared by the pool last summer. And now, I really like it.

I’ve joined an art group that gathers together to draw a still life. I certainly don’t consider myself an artist, but I love to pretend!! Paul was our subject last night and he had the most gorgeous lips!!
Here is my drawing …

which I think is better than my last drawing in April …
