Just thought I'd try my best to keep up with posting my art (sorry I missed a few weeks. As always, life sweeps you up sometimes!), and as I always do, it takes me forever to decide on something fun to do for the weekend, and it is certainly fast approaching! It always starts out with a big list of To-Do's, and then ends with me throwing it away and claiming that we should enjoy all of our weekend, and only do what WE wanna do...and then we sit and stare at our beautiful new 42" tv...so much for my summer tan! =P Heheheh! Besides, we don't have easy access to a pool...sure, we could go jump in one of the apartment complexes' pools, but why would I want to go stare at a whole buncha college freshmen and blind them with my stark white blinding skin? =) I want to go to Wakulla Springs, or any beach within an hour's drive--THAT's what I wanna do!!!
BUT, before I can go on our excursion, I'd love to show you some pictures of a family friends' nursery I helped paint with my boyfriend Michael, and my sister (in-law, technically...) Adron! Our friends were expecting a little girl, but they live on about a half-acre of land a bit out of town...at the time with 5 dogs, 5 hens, and a goat! =D (Now their "farm" has grown to include another goat, a baby goat, a rooster, 3 more hens, and two more dogs!) So, of course it was perfect that they wanted an original nursery room mural...in a barnyard theme!!! Check it out! (By the way, double click the images for a bigger view.)

| What's a farm without a barn? Adron's talented job on the wind vane is really really cool! |
 |
| The sheep and the butterfly! |
 |
| This little piggy is just behind the door! |
 |
| Michael's handy work with the hay bale--we needed scenery! |
 |
| I just love this--Adron's baby goat has little rectangular pupils! |
 |
| Here's the baby chicks and the baby cow! I ended up gluing a cute pink ribbon to the baby cow's bell just to bring some 3D to the murals. The dandelions were Adron's idea, and they were PERFECT to tie all the walls together! |
 |
| We decided that on the tiny patch of wall under the windowsill needed another small animal, and we thought, "Why not a smiling mole?" I'll try to find a picture of the mole's home because we added quite a few rooms! |
 |
| Here's us, the artists! Me, Michael, and Adron against the largest wall completed! We worked for beer and dinner and they couldn't keep us away once they started that! =D |
We had so much fun, and I would LOVE to find a way to work together again on something like this. *wink wink nudge nudge* ;)
Until next time...
