About Me

My photo
I LOVE to design and to paint whimsical items that will put a smile on your face. Each day I share my simple life with you as I try to encourage, to inspire and sometimes JUST to make you smile as I recount my life growing up on a dairy farm! I've never had many material items in my life, BUT I have been blessed beyond words with love and encouragement from WONDERFUL Parents who instilled in me WHAT was important. I have had EVERYTHING that I needed and WAY too much of what I wanted. I am slowly learning to be a better person each day through my interactions with my friends on Facebook. Some day I hope to be as good as people seem to THINK I am! I am BLESSED! Welcome to my little corner of the world...Please stop by and visit often!

GIVEAWAY...Tuesday, December 31, 2013



I have been wanting to learn to paint Cathy’s snowmen since the first time I saw them…I love them…SO I decided that TODAY would be the day…I went to her blog:  http://www.tolentreasures.blogspot.com and looked at the pictures, and read the instructions and I ACTUALLY tried to follow the instructions, which for me, is tough…I read instructions, but seldom follow them!  I also had a REAL one that she sent to me and I treasure it!  I see it and smile and think of my friend.

First I found a piece of canvas that I had bought PROBABLY about 15 years ago…ANOTHER reason NOT to throw things away…treasures MUST be kept nearby at ALL Times…This one measured 12x 16 inches.   I painted the entire canvas in Midnight Blue and I then marked it off with FROG tape, that took me about 30 minutes to find in the house…sigh…and blocked in the colors with avocado, Terra Cotta and Indian Turquois.  The middle section I just added white to the Midnight blue…I WISH I had left it a bit darker, BUT I will know the next time…

As always, the paints I use are Americana by DecoArt...I LOVE them and strongly recommend them!


Then, according to Cathy’s directions, I drew circles for the body with a template that I purchased from Laurie Speltz.



Next came the painting of each circle…


Then added more details…


THEN I took off the tape and added the stenciling AGAIN using stencils I had bought from Laurie Speltz.



I think I should give this away to someone…WHAT DO YOU think?

I am pleased with the gifts that God has given to me and I have enjoyed through the years learning more techniques and developing WHAT God gave me…I am so blessed to have found something that brings me such pleasure and that has led me to getting to know so many great people…

SO, I will put the RULES on my Facebook page…I’m not going to lie…I hope this will grow the people who will see my blog…SO it will hopefully be a win-win situation for ALL of us…

Be sure to give THANKS for the gifts you have been given and ALWAYS be sure to GIVE GOD the GLORY…Blessings to YOU…~charlotte♥
