Oh to be a winner....

Winning a fabulous giveaway online seems to be the equivalent chances of winning the lottery! I can't tell you how many I've entered....and lost. Hopefully one day I'll get that email making my day but until then, let's celebrate the lucky lady who won a 12x24 canvas from the UBP10 party!

Jill has been such a sweetie to work with! She has a wonderful blog, Women Who Do It All, which you should promptly visit after reading here :) I got the pleasure of creating a painting for her little guy, Sam.

Here is a picture of his quilt...and no, I didn't take the time to move it into iPhoto and rotate- sorry!
But I got the most inspiration from his sheet....
If you've been around here long you know I love stripes...and polka dots! The dots took the prize on this one. What do you think?! I personally love it but I'm a bit biased!! The colors in the bedding are brighter than they seem in these two pictures...which is why my dots are RED not burgundy. Hopefully I matched all colors well!
And here are a couple of my 9x12 hanging canvases I've finished up....I always hesitate to post these cause it seems like if you've seen one...well then you've seen them all! But I try to keep them somewhat different.

And because there most definitely is NOT enough pictures in this post....do you think I missed my calling as a coffee house chalkboard artist?!

Have a great weekend! Also, be sure to hop over to my 'other' blog and visit!

  2. Well I guess I can reveal my secrets :) LOL

    It's actually a really thick black poster board type thing...my husband bought it so not sure where it came from....and then I used colored pencils because he didn't want it to rub off! Took right at THREE hours...yeah.
