Today I am such a proud Princess Mama!

Today, I am a Princess Paint Slinger Mama, BEAMING with pride for my little Petite Paint Slinger, Maggie, 8.  I am assembling our first order of one of  her own uniquely designed princess party invitations from our Mama & Margretta line.  Actually, the order is for Thank-you cards for a princess party package we offer.  Maggie drew the little birthday girl with her presents here, & I helped color & clean the image up, ready for distribution.  She chose all of the colors for the background design, etc...  She is such a little entrepreneur that I have no doubt of her successful future, hopefully doing something she loves to do!  I feel that her Daddy & I have already taught her that nothing is impossible & something that took me 40 years to learn:  "You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it!"  So simple, yet so hard to believe & apply, for some weird reason.


Happy weekend everyone!

MY First Post! Decorating the LOW Church stage for VBS

I am very excited about my latest projects...  Two weeks ago, I painted a plethora of cardboard murals for the Beach themed bible school at the church here at the lake.  I had the pleasure of working with Mr. John Lentine (www.johnlentine.com), who is an extraordinary talent (& kindred spirit of mine), an art teacher/musician/magician.  Yes, you saw that right!  And, we worked with other  volunteers at the church.

Together, we created the themed areas below.  Sunday will be the beach bash show at the church.  I love to give to the community, whether it be princess parties or painting services......  Enjoy!
