~MY FATHER~

My son, Brandon, and I are on our way to Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City to see my father.

I would so appreciate it if you will pray for my mother, my siblings, our entire family... He's currently in ICU.

 

Over the past five plus years I've shared often about my beloved dad and his great love for God and family.  He's been a preacher-man for my entire life and I can't help but wonder if the time is drawing near when he will collect his reward for his faithful service to the Most High.  For over a decade he's been living incarcerated in a local nursing home.  He's been ready to meet His Savior for so long now...

Thank you in advance for your kindness and prayers.  They mean so much to me.

Love,

Shirley Temple Black...

What an amazing lady.

Gone but never forgotten.

Always in our hearts.

Love to you...

~FORGET THAT BLUE~

A couple of weeks ago I shared some photos with you of a little chest of drawers I painted while taking a local class.  Well...now I'm showing you how it looks today!  Gone is the BLUE (just couldn't handle it, I'm afraid!) and today it is a soft white with a hand rubbed finish.  Couldn't resist adding some vintage French graphics and love how the original wooden knobs look with just a hint of dark wax.

The blue just had to go.

((BLUE-BYE-YOU!))

Honestly...the piece was a bear to redo.  In the future I'll be sticking with neutral tones and I'm going to let my fellow-booth-friend, Jared, offer stuff up with color.  :)

Tomorrow it's supposed to be freezing here in my town and then on Saturday the weather guy is forecasting a 70 degree day.  It's all so crazy, isn't it?

Love to you~
