Artist Spotlight.

I'll pick up on our holiday happenings soon. I promise to try to wrap them up this week. I've been in bed all. day. long. (Sunday) with what I'm hoping is not the flu. We got home Saturday night from Anna and Lance's house and I hurt to move at all. I carried Will up the (three) steps to the house and it hurt SO bad. I went straight to bed. This morning (again, Sunday) I woke up and still hurt all over. When ibuprofen kicks I'm I feel a lot better, but still yucky. Hoping this goes SOON and that I don't share it with anyone.

I've had several questions about some paintings that I had done this year - one for Eddie and one for Lance. These are my FAVORITE things. I'm hoping to also get paintings of our churches we've gone to. Wouldn't that be fun?

For our anniversary I contacted an artist in Augusta, Georgia about painting our house. It was timely because as soon as she finished it and shipped it to me we found out we were moving. I contacted her, decided what size painting I wanted, and sent her pictures from various angles of the front of our house. She finished in one afternoon and it was shipped and in my hands within two weeks of ordering.



For Christmas Eddie drew Lance's name. Anna and Lance have just moved into their newly-built home so I thought something for the walls would be perfect. I purchased the size I could afford (we have a gift-giving budget and I had to stick to a 5x7) and again sent her pictures - this time of Anna and Lance's dogs. {You know you're a Georgia fan when you have to correct the spelling of "dawgs." Whoops!} I was so thrilled with this one!



I have a WHOLE LIST of things I want her to do. She's absolutely awesome to work with. She has no idea that I've posted this. I didn't ask and she didn't ask me to. If you're interested in working with her she's listed on Facebook as ArtsAnneCrafts.

I love that the picture of the pups was taken on the first land we purchased! She also slimmed Finn down just a little! Haha! Hope you feel better soon!
