Painting in progress

Well, it's back to work finally! I didn't exactly take summer off, but I didn't exactly have a lot of time to work either. My son is back to school and summer is winding down. I've started a new schedule, which I'm hoping will enable to me to work on several paintings at once, plus work on craft show/etsy material. We'll see!

Did I mention that I got to see the Backstreet Boys the other day?
Oh yes. I am not ashamed. I love my boy bands.

Last week...

Last week I got to visit some friends in Virgina, along with a few of my band mates. 
What did we do? Here's just one of the activities.... (be sure to watch until 0:56! LOL!)


As summer winds down, I'm gearing up for a new work schedule. I'm going to ration my time, working on commissions, personal art, and etsy/craft show stuff. I'm extremely excited to get back to a consistent schedule. As much as I love summer and the vacations and fun activities, I am always looking forward to getting back to normal life in the fall. Not to mention I'm just a cool weather person.
I can't wait for sweater weather!

recycling at it's finest!

Today, Travis and I went to a party on a farm, in the middle of no where.
They had tents made of old Hot Air Balloons! 



I thought that was pretty darn cool!
That is all.

Pine Valley Bible Camp


On July 16, 2010 Pine Valley Bible Camp had a terrible fire that burned their Creekside Lodge to the ground. Creekside Lodge was the hub of the camp, containing all the administrative offices, the game room and crafts center, the boys' showers, a small camp store, maintenance supplies and equipment, a meeting room and kitchen.


Pine Valley is an amazing camp where urban and at-risk children can have life changing experiences. They get to spend a week away from the city, experience God’s creation and the unconditional love of the staff. Most importantly, the campers are introduced to a heavenly father who desires to heal their broken hearts.

The camp has already reopened after the fire, but there’s still so much that is needed!  From now until August 15th, 50% of all sales from my Etsy shop will be donated to Pine Valley’s Fire Crisis Fund.
Please join with me to help this irreplaceable ministry!

Hi!!!!!
I'm back from Butler Project. It was fantastic in every way. I helped shingle a roof, along with lots of other random tasks. Met many new friends and got strengthen relationships with old ones. Got to play music, play games, swim and and...eat excessively! Most of all it was an honor and a privilege to serve the Wilson's in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
