SEASONS GREETINGS
A couple of years ago I painted a cardboard refrigerator box to use as a back drop in my booth. My hopes were that it would draw people into my booth and boy it sure did! People kept wanting to buy it...but I explained that it wouldnt hold up very well being on cardboard! So I went home and created 10 different signs and painted them on a 4' X 2' piece of wood. I thought this would be a managable size for people to display and it would fit in their car to take home! These big signs are perfect to display in a window, on your porch, in an entry way. I even had a lady ask me to paint a larger one to be part of an outdoor display for a Christmas walk her house was part of!!! Here are a few that I painted....

FROSTY TREATS
Here is one of my lastest pattern packets, FROSTY TREATS! It is so much fun to paint! I love decorating the Christmas tree and these ornaments look so cute on the tree! Who can resist a frosty treat!
My Big Snowman Gourd
I love painting on gourds! I found this BIG gourd while shopping at the COVERED BRIDGE FESTIVAL this past October. I finially decided what I wanted to paint on it...so here it is! Took it to my craft show the second weekend of November and sold it to a lady who tells me she bought a gourd from me the previous year too and just loves it...she plans on sitting this one next to it to display all winter. Neat huh?
