Going Postal!

No snow :( not even a speckle. Just rainy and cold.  I was hoping to make a snow man this week or maybe make even a snow angel but no!  
Guess what? I was finally productive towards the end of this week...granted I went to sleep around 4 am every night BUT I had a break through! I can hear the angels singing... lol :)  Here is a little painting that I painted for my friend Cindy in New York and it's finally dry and ready to be shipped.
I hope she likes it- she just loves beautiful botanicals.  She had a give away on her blog and I couldn't believe that I won! So I thought I should send her back something extra special.  I hope it makes it safely to New York.  Can you believe it? I am going to have a painting that has a home in New York!
Here is what she sent me.  Look how adorable everything is wrapped.  I am not the greatest wrapper but it's what's inside the package right?
Have a good weekend! My husband and I have a date planned for this weekend! Also I wanted to let you know I have something amazing planned for you on Monday.  I can't wait to tell you all about it but Monday Monday Monday. :)

Oil on Canvas 5X5 :) Just in case your curious.

you can have our snow! I'm sick of wearing my ugly rubber boots everywhere! And to answer your question, I actually have not been to charm city cakes, but I'm planning on it once I move a little closer to the city!

I read this a couple of days ago but I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to comment. Just wanted to come back and say that I LOVE the little painting and think it is super sweet of you to send it to your friend. I agree with Cindy and love how you still have paint on your fingers in the photo.

How exciting to send another of your lovely paintings to a wonderful new home ... such a shame about the snow, but just look at all those colours you've captured! :)
