Guitar commission

The guitar painting that was suppose to leave around Thanksgiving ended up taking me a little longer and left this past Sunday.

Missing it already

There are so few things to worry about when wearing bibs

thought I would post some photos of me while the light was so wintry white...and then I thought I could also share some of the benefits to being a wearer of the Bibs : )

First off let me tell you a few things about the day...We woke to snow outside and today was a day that I would be driving my girl to school because of a late start.
I saw yesterdays bibs laying on the floor by my bathroom door and decided to grab a long sleeve shirt and some clean undies along with some high knee high socks to keep me warm today. I told myself it was ok to not shower, just go find a hat : ) and some boots.

I grabbed this mirror that Ive been trying to get Hannah to put in her room and decided to try using my camera with it.

Enjoy

I love this photo of my Tilly Mae (Matilda Rae) She is named after my father in law Ray ... She is the naughtiest animal we have ever owned...although when I think about it...all of us females in this house are kind of naughty in their own way!
Silly Silly

Back to the benefits : )

All hats look great with bibs

even orange sweaters and mint green boots work

No bra required : )

Thought I could even show you my Calvins : )

Have a great day : )

P.S. when I stepped back and re looked at the first photo...all the colors I'm wearing are in that painting behind me. Gosh thats kinda funny

Some pages from Decembers journal

These 2 pages are the first two in the journal...I think its funny how my first two and last two usually have very little written on them.

I don't do new year resolutions, but I do like to sit back and see where I am and where I may want to be headed. For seven years now I've been home spending my time creating art. No rules to follow, no expectations of me, just do as I want. Well now I feel like maybe I need some goals or something.

After going for a few months with zero income....Mike has been working for the new company now for over a month and I was comfortable to go buy Hannah some boots and a much needed pair of shoes (none clog) for myself.

I felt like a queen and ever so grateful for my king.

16 years! WoW!

When I saw this picture of the girl walking with all this on top of her head I thought about my Hannah Grace learning to navigate the world. An irregular girl fitting into a regular world.

I've started building my next journal and then I received a call from my Mother in law who is still in Atlanta helping my brother in law who is fighting Multiple Myaloma. I am full of sadness for my family, my brother in law, his parents and my niece and nephew. I love them all dearly.

Happy New Year to you

Looking forward to letting you all know what 2010 has in store for Mrs. Lisa D.

Happy Day to you

A place where we hold worship service

Just over a year ago I was asked to make a poster for the circus that was coming to our church : )

As they dropped off the canvas and headed out the door, they said

We'll be back in two hours...lol

What a church we belong to.

My children have been there all their lives, Mike since he was about four, I fell upon it when I was about sixteen.

Here is Hannah and a friend of hers at this years

Zoppe's Family circus

NINO

and the

Magical Holiday Adventure!

and what an adventure it was!

if you look to the left of this photo you can see my tree painting in the background : )

I'm looking a little crazy with these two ladies, I had just basically been hosed down from the clown in the above photo 10 minutes before this photo.
