My new artwork

I wish I could act really cool and just say "Here are the new pictures I made for the playroom", but I am stinkn' proud of them because they took me forever! I painted and glazed the canvas, then used fabric and ribbon to create the flowers. I am not artistic at all, so it was a stretch for me. Thanks to Brandy and Samantha for the artistic support, Cynthia East, Michael's, Jo Ann, and Hobby Lobby for the materials and Brent who didn't comment on the huge mess out for a week on the dining room table. They are going to be hung above the TV cabinet in the playroom. Next project- finish painting the den and sew the curtains for both rooms. Stay tuned, maybe in 3 months :).

Way to go, Lauren! When I first saw your picture I thought the caption would say Brandy made the pictures, but look at you! What a creative office we have.

I agree with Julie the list of stores is hysterical! You could have bought the ones you wanted for all the money you spent on supplies, but I'm so proud of your end product! They also look great hanging in the playroom...your welcome! Can't wait to start the pillows next weekend!! I love all the fabric you've picked!

Those are so cute. And I am also laughing out loud at everyone you "thanked"! You are too funny because I can just hear you saying all of that. Miss you tons. We need to catch up soon.
