Welcome to Part 2 of my Watercolor Series! You can see the first post here. I’m excited to share my watercolor poppies with y’all.

I interrupt today’s 52/52 Challenge post (mostly because the project isn’t done…it’s a big one!) and share a Free Valentine Watercolor Printable 5×7. This painting came from an idea that popped in my head and wouldn’t get out until I put it on paper. It looks exactly like I imagined…love it when that happens! I…

I love Poppies. I’ve always loved orange -red Poppies. I guess it comes from growing up in Calif. where the state flower is a Poppy. Whatever the reason I’ve always been a fan….especially of watercolor Poppies. So, I’ve decided to learn how to paint them-my way. Everyone has a different style of painting flowers, or…

I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs when I came across Ice Cream made from Snow (Saving 4 Six)….seriously?! Yeah, for reals! For years, I’ve been telling my kids NOT to eat snow because it might be dirty and now I’m using snow to make something edible? I’m so cool! Recipe: 10 cups…
You’ve probably seen book page wreaths around the web and if you’re like me….you/I love them! I love the way they look and I loved making this! I used the tutorial on Makely School for Girls for my book page wreath. Lindsay did a great job on her tutorial, every step is covered (not like mine. i…
So, you know how I said I was going to add this later in the day on Monday?! Well, the youngest has had a terrible time with his Asthma….two more dr appts this week and now we are up to 6 meds for his Asthma. Stressful!! That being said, I’ve decided to try not to…
