C & G
1Years ago a few of us sat down and wrote notes to our future self. I just wrote a few calendar entries so I knew they’d pop up on my computer, phone and whatever else pulled in my calendar entries.
I was adding some meetings and deadlines to my calendar this morning when I saw this:
You know, it’s not as funny as I thought it would be 
Does anyone know a great Cake & Gun store?
She’s so fancy
0Calin, one of my friend’s daughter, absolutely loves Fancy Nancy. She’s a little princess and we love most of the same things. I hate children, but her – I understand. We love pink, we love glitter and all things sparkly… you know what I’m saying.
So one of my crazy whims came along… I decided I’m going to paint her a Fancy Nancy painting for her room. Don’t ask me where these ideas come from. I’ve never painted before outside a 5 minute watercolor for a blog post or something like that. But somehow I decided one of my current projects needs to be this painting.
I’d sit in front of the T.V. and put a little paint here, a little there and then move on to another project. It was pretty light and breezy. About two weeks later I had something decent. It was decent enough for my first painting, I should say. I was just happy it was recognizable… and had plenty of glitter mixed in.
One thing I did learn: Don’t paint in a dim room in front of the TV. When you take a photo or take it into the light it looks completely different. No duh, right? Well I didn’t think of that when I started.
