Girl's Night Out

I have to say that I am so thankful to have a group of women whom I love and cherish. They are my sisters when I have none. They are my strength when strength is gone. They are my sunlight when skies are grey.

Well.....that was corney as all get out! But it is true.

I love you girls!

Here is a picture from one of or many Girl's Night Out evenings. We went to the movies. But I tell ya...trying to catch up on all of our lives in 20 minutes before the movie starts was so funny. We looked like a bunch of "wild eyed" hens chirping and cackling loudly in the lobby.

Enjoy!

What a great day. A few of my girlfriends came over today to keep me company. We played scrabble, ate chips and chatted. It was so nice having them around for the day. I have been getting quite bored with this laying around and taking it easy thing. Thanks girls!

After they left, I was so inspired.....I decided to paint. So here is the new piece for the day. I am going to use this one for a class that is coming up. I like it much better tan that silly Tuscany piece. Thanks to Alissa for the idea.

Enjoy!

The girls paint

Last night before Julie and her friends went out, they decided to take over my "make shift" studio in the dining room. It was fun watching them giggle and play with paint. It reminded me of the days when she was 3 or so. We used to get the finger paints out and have so much fun painting and laughing together. She is growing up so fast. She is running here and there. The whole world revolves around her friends now. Typical 15 yr old. But watching the girls last night just reminded me of how young they still are. And how, no matter how old you are, it's always fun to dip your fingers in some paint and just play.

So, I left the heart and straw that they had painted and added a wee bit more. And here is what I/we came up with....

"Whipped"
