Painting at Chrissy's!

 We had a blast last night painting!  I met some super sweet ladies that I hope to see again soon!  They all did amazing jobs.  Most did the flower design, one did the Christmas design, but they all turned out great, as you can see!!!

Pumpkins!!!!!!!!!!

 Well, it's that time of year again, AUTUMN!!!! And today it has certainly felt like it.  We were actually chilly outside this morning at recess.  With fall comes pumpkins, and I'm selling these little cuties for only $30!!!!  Burlap bow and initial included.  Psalm 118:1 is also printed on the leaf, "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love endures forever."  If you've not gotten your order in, do so today so you can get one of these on your door this fall!  Also if you would like to paint your own I'm offering several dates of come paint your own at my house...just e-mail me your name and I'll let you know what dates are available.

Painting for Lottie Moon

 Within the next month I will have 10-11 paintings for sale, all of different designs and colors.  The profits, 100% of them, will go directly toward this years Lottie Moon Missions offering.  For those of you who knew my Papaw Costilow the Lottie Moon offering was a HUGE deal for him.  He encouraged many to give to this offering to support Southern Baptist Missionaries in foreign countries.  God laid upon my heart that I needed to do something to raise money for missions, and this is it!  Each canvas is a 16x20 stretched canvas and will be on sale for only $45!!!  You can't beat that!!!  Give $45 to Lottie Moon, and you receive a beautiful piece of art to hang in your home...with scripture to spread the gospel to those who come into your home and read it....so somewhat, in buying a painting, to give money to missions, you are being a missionary as well. 

 

There will be other designs up for sale. But the 2 above are the 2 of the paisley design.  I will be doing 2 flowers,  2 crosses, 2 fruit of the spirit, and 2 other designs I've not decided.  IF you are interested in purchasing one of these paintings, let me know and STAY TUNED!!!!!  It will be a first come basis, so again STAY TUNED!!!!!!!

Party At New Providence Baptist Church

 This past Saturday I did a party at New Providence in Smarr, GA with 13 awesome ladies!!!  12 of these ladies said they've never painted, but they sure surprised themselves and me too. They each did a wonderful job.  I also offer 2 designs at each party, just so everybody has a choice, I mean come on we all like choices.  But she contacted me and asked last minute if I could throw in a 3rd design.  Some wanted to do the cross, so we divided into 3 tables and went to painting.

 I only had 3 ladies do the flower, which to me is my favorite!!!  They turned out fabulous!!!!!

 Majority of the group did the fruit of the spirit with the pear, and I had 4 ladies do the cross.

 See!!!!   Didn't they do awesome!!!!  I can't wait to do another party.  If you are interested in hosting a party like this contact me today!!!!  There's only a minimum of 5 people, max of 20.  The host paints for free!!!!  SO much fun, and you get to take home a beautiful piece of art YOU did!!!!

Zebra party: Kids style!!!

 Last night was my little Emily's 6 year old birthday party!  We did a painting party, and planned to paint zebra stripes!  Well with 6 year olds, who LOVE color and don't care a thing about details, they ended up with some awesome rainbow stripes!  I LOVE the creativity of a child!  Not one person's is alike and I LOVE that!

 I did the child's monogram in the middle and am going to write part of Psalm 139 around it when they are all dry!

 We had one, who is 7 who really did a great job with the zebra stripes.  It's hard for younger ones to paint detailed lines, but I just LOVE how they all turned out!!!!! They did a great job!!!!  I can't wait to do more parties for kids!!!!
