A client used a gift certificate to order this canvas for her precious baby boy. She wanted a canvas with Louisiana and Jeremiah 29:11 on it. I hope this is what she had in mind.

Thank you to all the men and women who have served and are serving our country! Happy Veterans Day!

A dear friend of mine asked me to paint a canvas for her nephew. When she told me the theme of the nursery, I thought it was perfect! A hunter's nursery for a hunter's son. The whole family likes to hunt. I'm sure Baby Dickman will fit in nicely.

I attend a local MOPS group here in Las Vegas. It is a blessing to be around other moms who have young children. It is also nice to have a support group while my husband is away. 
Each month our MOPS group has a MOM's night out.  Last month, my mother-in-law babysat my precious G-Man so I could enjoy an evening out with other ladies my own age....and a night of no children. (I love my precious baby, but every mother needs a little break.) We went to Mt. Charleston for the evening.  A couple of mom in our group live there. If you don't live near Vegas, Mt.Charleston is a nice getaway/retreat from the city. It's about 30 minutes away. It's hard to believe a place like this is so close to the craziness of Las Vegas.
The Lodge has a cute little Christmas Shop that is open all year round. If you come visit the Lee household, I'll take you there.
 Thank you ladies for a wonderful fun evening. Thank you Vivi for taking care of my precious little one, washing my laundry, and cooking.

Last Saturday, I attended a sweet shower for a dear friend. I loved being able to paint something for Baby G's room. Her pretty momma and daddy picked out the scripture...and pink and brown are perfect for any little girl's room. The Lee household is so excited for Emily and Robert. We can't wait to meet Baby G.

A family member sent us the cutest costume for G's first trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  I couldn't help taking some pictures of our cute little man.

This is officially my last painting before Baby Lee arrives. The Lee household is very anxious! We can't wait!!!!!

I love the fabrics and theme of this nursery!

My nephew is due a couple of days after Baby Lee. It will be interesting to see which baby comes first and how far a part their birthdays will actually be. Only the Lord knows!
My sister picked out super cute bedding for Oliver. I painted a canvas to match. The little lion on the bedding was too cute to not paint. :) I hope it looks great in his new room. :)
Baby Oliver, I can't wait to meet you! Love, LeeLee

My Mom (and Diddy) did a wonderful job on these curtains. They are perfect! Exactly what I was looking for.
I'll have more pics soon!

If there is anything in this world I wish I could do....it would be to SEW. My grandmother was blessed with this talent, my mother was blessed with this talent, even my husband can sew a button on (and patches...i think it's a requirement in the military). Somehow, the ability to sew completely skipped over me.WHY?!?!?!
One day when I was suppose to be shopping for paint supplies, I found this cute little bib cross stitch kit at Michaels. lol! I couldn't pass it up.... I say that, but I don't even know how to sew. I think I told myself I just need to dive in and try. If it turns out horribly wrong, no one will have to know. How sad is that?!?! My grandmother gave me one quick lesson in cross stitching before she passed away. I wish I would have had several more lessons, but at least I had one. From that one lesson, I am by no means an expert. Actually, the farthest thing from it. Without pictures and directions, you can forget about it.
I attempted cross stitching on this bib for my nephew on the way (His estimated arrival is about 6 days after Baby Lee). Oliver, if you don't like it, know that LeeLee tried! lol! It was made with love...not so much talent!

P.S.- Don't look at the back!

A dear friend/family member is having a baby girl soon. She picked out the cutest princess bedding for Baby A. I can't wait to see her nursery! And I can't wait to meet the newest member of the family!

Nursery Decor:




A canvas fit for a princess...plenty of glitter:

These were sent out a couple of weeks ago. They match the Little Lambs canvases I painted as well as the Gender Reveal Party Invites I did several months ago.

I loved making these for my sweet friend!!!

Back:

Every wedding package includes a photo album (up to 250 pictures), but ALL (not only weddings) of the photo albums now have a protective sleeve. Check 'em out!

These are FINALLY finished! I was suppose to have these finished several months ago.... but that didn't happen. They are a gift for a friend of mine.

My friend is having a little girl soon.... very soon.... and these bird paintings are for the nursery. I'm pretty sure this nursery is going to be the cutest room ever (my friend is a wonderful designer... and very creative!)

The inspiration: My friend found this pillow at Bed Bath and Beyond. She loves it! I do too!




The canvases:

I have a friend who is having a baby VERY soon. She is having a little boy! I'm so excited for her and her husband. They are going to be great parents.

Please pray for my friends as well as the city of Minot, ND. They are in the middle of a massive flood and several of them have lost their homes. Your prayers are greatly needed and appreciated!

Have a blessed weekend!

Since it's been a couple of weeks since this canvas was given away at a shower, I can post it now. :) I ha d a client who ordered two canvases for her niece. She wanted one monogram canvas (Every Southern Belle needs one of these) and one with a Faith scripture on it. I hope I did this successfully. It was fun painting for a nursery. Praying for a healthy mom and baby!

Have a blessed Monday!
