Fall is coming!

Well, it is cold here today and it seems like fall! I finally finished the little oil lamp or brooder that I was working on and listed it on ebay. You should go check it out! It is a one of a kind item, you will never find another like it! You can get to my listings by clicking on the link to the left. I am hoping to get some more things on ebay soon and in my prim market. I have really been slacking this summer! So please check back often!

Weekend fun!

We had a great weekend! For Adam's birthday and we surprised him with St. Louis Cardinals ball tickets. We went to Saturday evening's game. It was so much fun! The Cardinals won 5-3 and we got to see Albert Pujols hit a 2 run home run in person! It doesn't get any better than that!

Sunday was his birthday party at the house with the family. He got lots of cash so now he thinks he is rich! It was a fun day too!

I think I missed summer!

Wow! Summer just seemed to go by so fast this year....I don't know where time went! Now we are back to Erica's ball games and school functions!

Adam had his 10th birthday yesterday. He chose a mexican resturant for his birthday dinner. He likes it when they sing to him and put the sombrero on and smear ice cream in his face!

We were cracking up trying to get a picture of Adam and Erica together because the hat kept getting in the way! We finally managed!

We are having Adam's birthday party this coming Sunday and as a special treat we are all going Saturday to the St. Louis Cardinals ball game! We all all excited about that, what fun!

As far as my painting......I do have something about half finished! It is a halloween item so I better get busy! I am beginning to wonder though, after saying I will have time to paint next week, about a million times, if I will ever have more time! Don't give up on me yet! And in the mean time I will share pictures of my kids with you!

Summer is flying by!

This last weekend was Adam's last ball games. Summer is going by so fast....I just don't know where it has gone! We had the championship tournament. They started out strong winning the first two games Saturday in the horrible, miserable heat. Sunday the streak ended and they lost the championship game for second place. The kids were sad but I think second place is AWESOME!

They ended the season with 13 wins, 5 losses, second place in the league and second place in the tournament. Way to go Bee's!

My latest work!

Although I haven't been listing anything on ebay I have been doing some work to keep me practiced up!hee hee

I did this ironing board for a friend. It was her husband's mothers ironing board and she wanted to do something special with it so I made it into a family tree. It turned out pretty awesome and she loved it!

The tree has the eight children on the outer leaf of each branch with their children on the other leaves. The house and the barn were created using pictures of the original farm. They have the perfect family to do this with because it kept the tree in proportion!

Trying to catch up!

Hello Everyone! I am asking all my friends, family and past customers (or future ones, hee hee) who are watching this site to please email me! You can use the link to the left, just send me a quick note....I lost my address book when the lightening struck so I have to rebuild it again from scratch! If you weren't on my mailing list and you would like to be, go ahead and send me an email! I am hoping to be back to painting in a couple of weeks! Thank you so much! Chris

Lightening Disaster!

Hello! I wanted to post an update on what is going on with me! Last Wednesday lightening struck my computer and fried it! Along with all my telephones and one outlet! It was very scary! I was turning it off when it happened and it did get my finger and made my eyes blurry and my ears ring all night. I am so lucky that it didn't really get me!

I am hooked up now to Erica's computer but all my pictures and links that were on my old computer are gone! I still do not have my email where I can get to it yet so the only way to contact me right now is through ebay's message center. It will probably take me a while to get everything back to normal! Hopefully in time for some new fall items!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Chris
