Thank you teachers!
These two funky houses are for my son's preschool teachers. I raided the neighbor's garage and found a bunch of cool looking wood that they were going to throw out. I was also in quite the panic this morning when I saw other moms bringing in flowers and gifts.....I had totally forgotten the last day of preschool! Eeek! So this is what I came up with in a hurry. I think the idea might stick!

Love your enemies!
When I was younger, I had a girl that would always bully me at school. My mom told me to kill her with kindness and to love her and it would drive her crazy. I thought she was nuts at the time, but it worked! I tried something different for this one, I used oil pastels and sealed it with Modge Podge (love the stuff) ($35)
This is a gift for a friend of a friend. Her story is pretty sweet and she is one courageous lady. Hope she likes it!

New bathroom
So on a whim (most of my creativity comes from a whim) I decided that the previously very patriotic bathroom needed some updating. I'm not sure what I was smoking when I painted it the first time (seriously though, I don't smoke!) Now it's a nice shade of greenish brown for a whopping $4! I love miss matched paint. On to the next room......

Guitar Hero
I seem to be on a guitar kick recently. I guess it's because I've always wanted to play one. I'll stick to my cornet, thank you :) This is a huge window and it's double paned ($125) It would look pretty awesome in a boy room or music room!
Publish PostThis is a pretty sweet window as well. It's longer, but with two perfect squares. I love it. Can you tell I needed to use up all of the purple? I hate wasting paint! ($75)

Chalk, chalk baby
Eight hours and one sore body later, we have a finished product! This usually takes two days, but since I have a brass band concert today (Sunday) My friend Keely (she didn't know what she was getting into!) and I finished in about 8 hours. We tried to replicate a Georgia O'Keffee Poppy painting. I think it turned out beautifully and we had great weather and a great turnout! I sold about four windows with two more orders for some! I had a blast as usual and can't wait for Chalk the Walk 2011! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to browse, buy and take photos (seriously, if I see photos of my hiney on Facebook someone is going to get it :)
