She’s the only thing I have left of my art show. Amazingly everything sold but her. I now cherish her. There is a funny story here. At my debut, I was overwhelmed that I sold so many paintings. Never in a million years did I think I would. My brother-in-law Josh quickly took me [...] After my art show, the thought of ever painting again made me want to puke. Well, maybe that’s a little strong. But I was worn out. I had spent every spare minute of my time painting. I painted during lunch breaks from work, I painted after work, I painted on the weekends. Board after board, [...] My sister Emily designs a new card for each of my kids’ birthdays. Jett turned 4 over the weekend and Emily sent this card to us: This is just too perfect! For a little back story on Jett and his love for Guess Who, click here. Thanks, Em, these are just so special to us! My sister has been so good about creating a special birthday card for my boys on every birthday. I had to interrupt Jude as he was playing with LEGOs to show him this card yesterday.

This week I’ll be showing you how to take a black and white portrait and convert it into something with a little more punch. You can use these tips for a painting or for treating your favorite photographs. For an example, I’ll show you a recent project of [...] For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Jessie’s sister Emily. Since Jessie and Josh will soon be a family of five (if not already by the time this posts) they have asked me to step in and contribute to the blog. Since I’m definitely not as distinguished a writer as Jessie, Josh, [...] As we were driving back to my house after the baby shower last weekend, my sister said she had something in her car for me. She didn’t have it wrapped, so she didn’t bring it to the shower. I know, I told her she should have brought it because everyone would have wanted to see it! She [...] I’m more excited about my modern quilt design now that my sister likes it. So, here it is:
