A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I  thought I would try something different...

CLICK HERE to see a slideshow of my latest piece of art!

This really is a work of heART...

I wanted to make you SMILE as I shared some childhood memories and some things I love.

The church is in the middle  (well, kinda) to show that my Faith is the center of my being...

Our house was filled with love...
Our hands and our minds were kept busy creating and working...

Candy was homemade or bought for...REALLY--A PENNY!!

Our life was filled with COLOR!

I was taught to love and to respect the land and her inhabitants...

Clouds were there to entertain us as we hunted objects in the sky...

A tree to remind me of deep roots...to stand tall...to weather the storms of life...to stand for what is merciful and just...to grow...to spread my wings...

A sheep is a reminder that I wish to follow THE GREAT SHEPERD as He leads, comforts, protects and fights evil for me...


A dog, cat, owl--nature is to be cared for...

A frog to remember the laughter as Mother told about the BIG MOUTH FROG...

Beautiful flowers...Mother made gorgeous arrangements for our church altar...

Flowers to remind me to BLOOM...

Sunflowers as a reminder of feeding the birds and being planted by Daddy on the side of the road...

Black and white to remind me of our farm colors, Roma Land Farm, that reflected our Holstein cows that were milked to provide our income...

Homemade happiness!!

We all have a path to follow...

Our journey should be filled with good things...learning from our trials and roads we should have avoided...

Each day, I try to wake grateful...to reflect on the goodness and to follow my dreams!

The love of my parents really does flow through each stroke of my brush that is filled with DecoArt  Paint!

 (see how I snuck that in there! Lol)

Thank you for visiting

 my little corner of the world!

 I do not take my blessings for granted...
I am simply blessed to create ~charlotte ♡
