A sweet little addition to the family of a dear friend.

Mollie Nevada
A sweet littl name for a sweet little girl.
I did this quick little painting in acrylic on canvas. My brushes were getting a little rough after all the extra use this month, but it turned out ok all the same.
Wedding signs
My younger brother MacGyver is getting married next month. I’m so excited for him and his sweet bride to be.
I have several other signs to make this week. I’m so blessed to get to do what I love to do for the people I love. This glorious sunshine is a nice bonus. 🙂
Cedar Springs Postcard
I had the pleasure of designing a post card for our camp.

Christmas is right around the corner! As much as I appreciate Nordstrom’s declaration that they will not deck the halls until after Thanksgiving. For a hand made grifter like myself, getting a little bit of a head start is a necessity.
Acrylic paint on bamboo.
Refinished wooden puzzles
I’ve had these little wooden puzzles for a while. I didn’t take any “before” pictures, but they were generic, primary and just screamed for a makeover. Especially since many of the shapes for the alphabet one were so obtuse, you could hardly tell the H from the N. It was bad. So I peeled off the plastic coating and broke out my acrylics.
I decided to put the lower case letters underneath instead of pictures of things beginning with the letters. My oldest son is in first grade and it seemed like a good idea to help him distinguish between the upper and lower case letters.
Heart people are one of my go to illustrations for my kid’s brown bag lunches. With three boys, it’s about as cute as I’m allowed to get. It is also preferable for the heart people to be funny or amusing somehow.
This is one of my favorite groups. Everyone is dancing except for the one poor confused fellow who looks as if he’s not sure what he’s just walked into. 🙂
Snarky Birthday Card
Sometimes I get a little silly.
Update: The color is a little better in this shot.

Camp Elkanah Map
This is a project I finished a while back. It was a lot of fun and a bit of a challenge as I’ve never actually been to the camp. I had lots of pictures and the camp’s old map to go on. 
I especially enjoyed adding the people and the vehicles. Adding a bit of myself to the work, the red car is based on our current vehicle. Our brave little toaster. The van is based on one of the more conspicuous family vehicles from my childhood. My parents had eight of us kids so why not drive around in a giant yellow-orange bus? 😉
Isaiah 40:31
A gift for my dear sister in law. 
The details on the hair and wings were my favorite part. 
Daniel 12:3
“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”
A friend of mine is expecting a sweet little girl. I made this little painting for her after seeing pictures of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to travel to outer space.
We all hope great things for our children. We see shining potential, beauty, intelligence, talent. But the greatest treasure, the brightest light, the shining joy, is knowing they know the God of all truth, righteousness and love. To see the light of God shining through them. Shining like stars.
