Happy 16th Birthday

Sixteen years ago, Aaron was born on December 21st at 2:00 in the afternoon. 

We brought him home on Christmas Eve in a raging snowstorm.

Aaron then                                                                     Aaron now

Aaron's shoes then                             Aaron's shoes now (size 14 - wow!)

He was the best gift then and he's the best gift now.

Happy 16th  birthday, Aaron. 

Love you.

Mom

My 3 Santas

I try to make time for art whenever I can. I drew these 3 guys in my car while stopped at stop lights and I painted them while I was waiting for my dinner to cook. If I have 3"x5" cards and a micron pen or sharpie available, I'm never bored. 

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Painted Poinsettias

I made painted paper (I used paint and scrapers to create textured and colored paper) that I cut up and made into double sided poinsettia ornaments. I finished them off with gold paint, white acrylic ink details and sparkle mod podge. A festive and easy holiday project.

Let the Jingle Begin!

Painted Trees

I went to a sale and found these triangle trees that were begging to be painted. 

I used acrylic to paint the base coat.

Then I used this cool brush to add pine needles.

Next I decorated the trees with Puffy Paint. That stuff is fun!!

And here they are - all decorated and ready to hang!
