Title: Creative Painting?..Creative Slippers!
Funny story....it's strange the things that happen to your feet when they're put through the stress of countless hours on the convention floor, in the classroom, walking along the strip....with your eyes closed.... I suppose rejection was in order after putting our poor, sweet, faithful foot friends through the agony of hard-earned "stench".....although it was a hard pill to swallow as we looked desperately for some comfort of home when finally the "kids" (slippers) just had enough and made a break for it...I think they escaped... ;)

How's your decorating coming along? What are your favorite pieces?

Okay, okay! A little late, but he's done! See the New and Improved BOB!
Happy "renovating" your projects this summer! :)
Okay! I know I promised a new outfit for "Bob" here, and I'm getting to it, promise! Summer is here and Father's Day is coming, so I'm going to get crackin' this week! We can't have him looking like this all summer long!
"Before & Afters" are always a real motivator. Be sure to send yours along and we'll post them here on the blog for some extra summer fun!
Happy Painting!

A big Happy New Year to everybody! Thank you for the wonderful year 2008 and looking forward to painting for you in 2009!
There is talk of upcoming classes, hopefully sooner than later! Have to get the reno's done first to make room for tables!
Keep warm and cozy and paint yourself something wonderful this winter!

Christmas IS coming! Make a special treat or an early gingerbread house to get you in the mood for Christmas Painting!
There are gifts to be made, Christmas package trims, and decorations, craft fairs to attend and friends to remember! So much to do, so little time, make it special!

Title: Halloweenie Painters!
Halloween is in the air! Thanks to the ladies from the Village Painters in Livonia MI, USA for sending this great pic of their version of "Ghoulish Treats!" Really, really fun! Wish I had been there! Save me a seat next year!
And then we have Deb, (who isn't in the picture! :) ) and her Calgary AB girls from Canada with "Haunted Halls!" Look...there's our very own Jamie Mills to the left! LOL!! Nice work ladies! Happy Halloweenie!

Title: Halloweenie Caramel Popcorn!
Here it is! The best you can get! We make this every Autumn as one of our family traditions. It goes hand-in-hand with the Thanksgiving Pumpkin Patch trip, yard clean-up and decorating and the Pumpkin Carving Party! Keep the good stuff coming! Happy Autumn!
Caramel Popcorn from the Christmas (Halloweenie) Household!
Pre-pop enough popcorn to fill a large roasting pan.
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup butter
Melt over medium heat, boil 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Add 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
Mix into popcorn, (Don't lick the spoon! It's hot!)
Bake at 250 F mixing every 15 minutes.
MMMMMMMMM! Add peanuts or almonds if you like, candy corn (my favorite) is a cute addition after cooling!

Title: Thanksgiving Pumpkin Patch!
Canadian Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I know, I know! Our fellow turkey loving friends to the South have to wait until November...you have our most sincere apologies! We'll be sure to post turkey pictures!
An annual trip to the local pumpkin patch every Thanksgiving weekend is a must at our house! Grab extra cornstalks and baby gourds for great Autumn decorating outside and in!

Title: Autumn is on it's way!
Autumn IS coming! Don't let it sneak up on you! Now is the time to be gathering those seeds off the flowers, collecting and drying leaves before they get crunchy and collecting twigs and dryables for Fall decorating!

Title: April
Don't we all just NOT love Easter in March!? No flowers, blooms or sprouting grass. The Easter bunny is still wearing his woolies...
My solution- potted bulbs scattered indoors, here and there. Store bought blooms to add instant bursts of color to every room and of course, the ever-full-of-blooms-wreath on every door in the house!
Yes, we can beat Winter! And it looks like we have! Spring is finally here!

Title: March
March cookies are a must have!....okay, any cookies are a must have!
Try some shamrock sugar cookies with green royal frosting and 24K edible gold dust, brushed lightly on the center of each cookie for a festive twist this March!
