Pumpkin Painting Party at Carlette's

 Last night I had the privilege of painting with some sweet ladies.  They all wanted a pumpkin to hang on their door or in their home this fall!!!  We had 9 of us, and with Carlette's daughter it was 10!  She is an artist in training and did her very own canvas!!!

 

 Mia sketched and painted her own scene!

 Christy was a fast worker and did 2 paintings!!!  She is working on a design that has the stripes on it!

 SO much fun.  I can't wait to paint on canvas with ALL these ladies again soon.  If you're interested in a party like this contact me by e-mail, phone or from the facebook page!!!  November dates are open for booking!

Birds are Here!

I've wanted to do a design with birds for a long time, and now I've finally come up with one that is fairly easy and very cute!  The top is 2 toned polka dot, and the bottom a solid, and the bird in the nest in the middle.  Any colors can be done, and a red bird would look great this time of year too!  This verse is one of my favorites, but any can be used!!!!

New Design

 Well after looking up some new designs, I came up with this below by looking at my water cup.  Go figure, that my water cup, I got from Lifeway would contain such inspiration.  It's been free handed and I am getting my stencils cut for my next party that wants to do this one.  The middle picture is just one on cardboard I did, and wrote my monogram in the middle, and some of my favorite Bible verses all through out the background.  Really neat, and would go great in all different colors.

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!!!!
