A Final Goodbye..

Today my Brother's, Sister's & I

said our Final Goodbye

to Our Mom.....

as she was laid to rest.

Helen Peters

Aug. 28, 1930 - Feb. 4, 2013

Even though My Mom

 passed away in February...

we had to wait for her burial,

per the Funeral Home,

or pay an extra cost to have

a burial in Feb. when it was Winter.

It was tough going

through this again...

But she is finally at Peace now

and with our Dad.

We stayed & watched as

they were lowering the casket 

into the Vault in the ground.

And, just as they started to

lower it, a Chipmunk jumped 

into the Vault.

We were all a little frantic

as they had to stop & get the

poor little fellow out.

But in the end...

we all had a little chuckle

and I bet Mom did too!

Always in Our Hearts!

We Love You Mom!!

Getting back into Painting.....

I've been trying hard to get back

my Painting Mojo....

The weather has been nice,

and my items have been selling

at my Sister's shop, where I have them.

Orders have been coming in

and I have been so Busy.

This is an old window I had done

for a customer.

She wanted bright flowers

and a bird house.

A Screen I had painted.

Sold the next day.

These fence are a hot item right now.

I had gotten a roll of this 

wooden snow fence from my

Sister, last fall.

I still had some left,

I cut it into sections,

dry brushed it white,

cut out some wood flowers

and  attatched to the fence.

The bright colors seem to

be in.

These are all sold.

I had many special request

orders for signs.

Here's a few that I had done

for customers...

all Sold!

Man Cave is painted on an old

piece of wood.

Home is where your Harley is...

Sold 4 of these....

painted on a piece of  flooring.

Special request for some ladies...

Welcome to Margaritaville

in bright, beachy colors...

This one is popular...

sold 4 of these.....

These are painted on

 flooring pieces that

my Brother-in-law saved for me.

Both Sold.

This was a special request order

and a challenge.

This lady wanted this sign 4 ft. long.

The words are all hand painted.

This took me forever

It says....

Dream Believe Trust Laugh Love LIVE

An Old suitcase I painted...

and a shovel....

Thanks for stopping by

and taking a look.

Our Hearts and Prayers go out to

all those in Oklahoma.
