Blog Hop Give Away, Friday, August 1, 2014

I am a member of an Etsy Team called The Folkart and Primitive Team (FAAP)

This is a WONDERFUL group of Artists from all over the world who make AMAZING creations and who just happen to be some of the loveliest people around!  

Our Fearless Leader, Brenda Griffith, from Oklahoma, is ALWAYS trying to help us.  She is always around to answer our questions about blogs, etsy and facebook and does WHATEVER she can to make sure that we are SUCCESSFUL...

She has started a GIVE AWAY today, called a BLOG HOP...

There are 13 gifts that will be given away at the end of the month.
You will need to go to HER BLOG to get the directions to be included in the drawing, so click HERE to go to Brenda's Blog, The Rusty Thimble.

I will have a link to HER blog on the right side of my blog AND I will be adding LINKS to my fellow teammates to the LEFT SIDE under my Blog List...Give me awhile to get them all listed, BUT I will get it done!!  =)

Here is a picture of the item that I am donating.  It is for BOTH the PUMPKIN and the Snowman Wine Glass Tea light holder AND I will also include 3 handmade cinnamon pumpkins that smell SO SO YUMMY!!

To Comment on our blogs, you have to follow us.  To FOLLOW our blogs, one has to join Google...I KNOW, so many do NOT want to do that because of a concern for privacy, but in all fairness, IF you have an account on Facebook, you are ALREADY out there for the whole world to find...There is an option to follow me via email...

I completely understand being concerned about privacy, but EVIL will get you IF it wants to...JUST make sure you have a good security program and your computer, close your eyes, take a deep breath and STEP OUT IN FAITH...LOL...

I want to THANK you for all of your support of me and I am HONORED to be included in this WONDERFUL FAAP group...I SURE HOPE Miss Brenda UNDERSTANDS how much I appreciate her!!

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world...Blessings to YOU...~charlotte♥

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♥
