"Sunset at His House"

the title chosen for an evening filled with sweet friends

 and a little painting...

a perfect combination!

as brush strokes were made and conversation shared...

in just a few short hours paintings began to take shape...

what a delight to see each ones variations!

all so lovely!

truly a night to remember...

"Sunset at His House"

"sweet friendship refreshes the soul"

Proverbs 27:9

Happy Monday!

Many Blessings!

A little lovely...{ & a give-away!}

created just for our sweet teachers!

this year for their Fall gift I created simple

Fall posy pins...

we just love our teachers!, and are extremely grateful for

their love and care of our children...

teachers are truly treasures!

and while I was creating for the teachers...

I thought of YOU!- all my dear readers...

YOU are always so kind and encouraging,

truly treasures yourselves!

so I bought an extra copy of my favorite magazine,

Life Beautiful

and created an extra little posy pin just for you!

They are waiting to be packaged and shipped,

hopefully making some one's day just a little more lovely!
