PAINTING ANYONE???

I paint cerimacs,have mostly christmas themed ones& do a few ornaments each year(and some get broke each year,but less since my cat stays outdoors)I like the plate type ones that hang on wall.i have 2 and did not see any last year.
I occasionaly paint my terra cotta pots I have a daisy i did this year& a ladybug...the lady bug matchs a plant marker i got in a trade with someone..was done with wood pop sickle stick with ba foam ladybug glued on oh and painted my bench& metal table with a tx theme to match my TX chairs...3 cans of paint& a star stencil...how simple is that?lol
and soon...maybe after christmas...will be painting the walls in house after we mud them& texture.i have a nice 5 gallon bucket of sand colored paint out in shed...it sits on top of cooler of dog food to keepthe dogs out...my bassett hound has a brain& knows how to use it.he is a smart dog

Okay well the family joke was always that my mom would paint you if you stood still long enough...lol It has seemed to rub off on me....I paint whatever I can get my hands on....I use acrylic paints with a top coat of a clear coat for protection, and I have tons of bottles of paints, luckily my friend bought me a storage bag just for them last year....I'm always scavaging at yard sales to see what I can find to paint....either that or I am raiding the house for something to paint, or at wallyworld checking out the craft section.....

My 12 year old niece loves to paint with me....I buy little things we can paint and work on together....I have a huge cement wall that I am painting next spring and she is trying to convince me to paint a mural on it.....it would be fun, but it would take me a while....I have the Donna Dewberry painting books and they have helped me a lot as far as painting flowers and things go......

Painting relaxes me so much....it's my way of de-stressing if I need to......My husband knows me, and he knows I'm on the eternal hunt for things to paint in the house, he just lets me do what I want....gotta love him for that....

I can paint just about anything..Always made my kids school gifts for there teachers every year..Sold some many wooden hoildays pins.. Matter of fact made most my Christmas money every year selling my painted things..From Santa Clause painted tin cans as gift baskets to painted glass jars for candles..Think i've just about done it all..
Believe its time too get back into that..Have a pretty mail box im going to paint real soon..Good to hear theres more out there that enjoy painting.. Lots craft shows here in Texas so i better get busy painting once again..Its so much fun painting only thing bad once u get started its hard to not finish it right then..Stay up many night working on a project all night..lol Think my hub got tired hugging the pillow so i had to slow down some..lol
Hey has anyone painted paper sacks? Make door hangers like santa are snow men..If i could find my picture album with all my painted things i could sent u some pic.. But with moving it may still be packed in a box..Take care,have a wonder holiday all.

If either of you Njoynit or Texas have some
projects you'd like to share, post them for us!!
I always like projects in the winter time to do.
I'm sure a few of the other gardeners/crafters
would like to hear about them too!!!

The one's that have always caught my eye,
where the outdoors wooden cut outs that
you make into santa's or elves pushing santa
up to the roof, or snow men or those ones
that are just painted black with silohetts'!

Tx,
I watch the QVC shopping channel
(a little too much some times!! )
But they have kits of Donna Dewberry,
not sure of all the prices on there,
but you can get some good deals on there,
if you know you're prices of local
things..........Hey, you never know!

I love to paint and draw too, but
with the boys and my mom, I'm kinda busy.
When they get bigger I'll go back to it....
