The wine bottles are available!!!!

I just love these wine bottles but I have a horrible time getting them to look good in my pictures!  I have painted 7 of these awesome wine bottles that are up for sale now!  They are all done with green or brown bottles.  Some of them have white lights and some have colored lights.  They are all equally awesome but if you are purchasing one of these and have a preference let me know in your email because I didn't take pictures of all of the bottles.  The cord comes out the back of the bottle from a hole that I drilled myself.  They are so pretty lit up in a dark or dim room!  They are $20.00 each plus shipping and I will sell them in the order of the emails that I receive.  They are only snowmen, there is nothing on them that is Christmas so you can leave them out all winter long!  I even made me a couple of these and I usually don't get to keep anything!  Yay!

Well, its never too early to think about your sweetheart!

I have kind of gotten myself into the sugar cookie making business.  I do love to make them and they are sooooo yummy!  I started out making them for school parties and holidays, then expanded to sport functions and this year I did Halloween and Christmas orders!  Well, valentine's day is coming up fast so I am starting to get orders for that!  I have also been working on samples for birthdays too!  So, if you want some yummy sugar cookies get on the list early!!!




I am also doing some painting!  I have some things I should get finished by the weekend that I am excited about!  I made some for gifts but haven't sold any yet!  I have 7 of them and I am going to list them on here soon.  You will love them so check back! Oh the suspense!!! hee hee

Have a great week everyone!

Jewelry classes!

My sister Angie and I have decided to start holding some classes for jewelry making!  We both love to make things and want to share!  We are going to start off with this beginner bracelet project.  So cute and great to learn for gifts, parties or girl scout projects!  If you are interested in taking the class, our first one will be Friday February 10th from 6:30 to 8:30.  Just email me for more information.  Space is limited so don't wait to sign up!

I am also going to be selling more of my copper jewelry on here as well as my handpainted items.  I love making things but can't wear everything so some has to go up for sale!hee hee  I will be listing some beautiful and unique pieces!

I am also getting ready to start on some spring, Easter and everyday painted items so check back often!!!

I sure hope you all had an awesome Christmas.....I know I did!  I was very blessed this year to be able to spend time with my family.  I do wish my Dad could have been with us for the holidays, that was hard, but hopefully he will be home soon!

I was slightly spoiled this year and did get a new sewing machine!  Yay!  I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I already have a few things in mind that I want to sew!  I also will be taking a class soon to learn how to use my new soldering gun.  I am looking forward to doing some new things with jewelry this year.  Don't worry.....along with my painting!

I have a few things left that I am going to list for sale on here as soon as i can get some pictures.  I also joined a jewelry facebook page and I am going to focus a little more on selling my jewelry and also will be offering some jewelry making classes this year.  I am super excited about that!


 Adam and Erica by our tree!

Mike and me by our tree!

This year at Mom's on Christmas eve we shot skeet!  It was so fun.  We used to do it all the time but haven't for many years.  The weather was perfect, we all had a great time and even after not shooting for about 7 years I still hit the first one out!!!  I guess if we couldn't have snow, this was the next best thing!

Well, I'm just trying to catch everything up now that the holidays are over.  I will be sending out an email update soon to let you know what is going on here and what I have to offer.  Believe it or not I am still in the painting mood and have some projects ready to go!  I have to start early to prepare for two shows and online sales this year!hee hee  Take care and check back often!!!
