OMG! Photo problem SOLVED! CANVASES!!

Oh Lordy Be!

I have a computer and am able to upload my own pictures now! Not only do I hear angels singing, but the skies have parted and Jessi is on her knees in grateful prayer that I am no longer calling her and saying, "Jessi, please upload a few pics for me and just surprise me."

Todd the Bod bought a new computer this past week and has agreed to let me put my pictures on his new gear! That means, I am back in business for my day to day photo uploads!

I stuck my camera card right into the side of his computer (never had that luxury before), and couldn't wait to see what all was on my card. I was not disappointed, and you won't be either! I LOVE those daily memories.... out in the driveway, eating Cheerios, on the couch with Dad, etc.

With all there is to write about now, I chose Canvases. That is because there are so many people who are waiting to get their's or who have already received them and I never got to share them. Sooooo.....

Here we go. This is actually a little 8x10 canvas that I played with and doesn't have a home yet. I wanted it to be last, but I forgot how to move things, so it is first. If you are interested, let me know, and it can go to yo' house!
This is the shamrock I showed the last time I posted canvases. My bro-in-law requested this one!

He said, "Just sign it and send it." I couldn't convince him to let me write something great on it. He just wanted the signature and date. Said he'd make millions on it someday on ebay!

Then Rochelle, up in Collierville, TN, asked me to make a few for end of the year teachers' gifts. This one if for Mrs. Gantner.

And by now you can understand that this one is for Mrs. Barber!

I don't know if you can tell it, Rochelle, but there is black glitter all over it. LOVE that!

And let's not forget Mrs. Bullough!

Like that red/ orange glitter?! I do!

I am showing you this to show you that the canvases start out pretty basic, and actually, I NEVER draw them out. Well almost never! ( Kaia, yours are not so easy!)
I just start painting.

Bajeerah, do you like this one? It is the one I was talking about that has the black in it. I have never done the holly on the paper though. I am adding your names and will get it out to you this week! Send me your addy again, please!

Angie, you still read my blog? This little beaut is for you! Hope you like the odd colors I chose. Have you seen my new BAH? It is my way! 32 colors! It is loud and proud!

And Shannon asked me to make a canvas for a couple of young friends of hers who are going into the ministry. This is the verse she requested. But there were so many other good parts of the verses she liked, sooo....

I added them here, there, and yonder.

This was a special request from a Mrs. who is giving it to her Mr. for an anniversary this week! I am guessing this is a personal message between the two of them. Or, well, USED to be personal! Ha. Welcome to MoJoy!

She asked for yellow/ red and Tuscan feel and to leave a place for her to add a photo. I couldn't leave it empty though... so....

WHO are those cute little girls?!

One of Staci's little chicks who works at her store, is starting her career as a teacher this fall and laid claim to this bright red apple. Well, here is my signature again. Not sure why I loaded it twice. Enjoy!!

This is how I roll. Notice all the 1/2 done canvases. And the Sonic diet coke! And the paper plate with all the orders I have received emails on. Wonder why I can't keep up with orders, payments, etc? really, Mel? a paper plate?!

Here is the Believe canvas again. Want it?! It is $35!

And for one of my favorite patients/ buddies, Andy, had a birthday on the 30th. I made this canvas for him.

He is a huge basketball fan!

One of the first canvases I ever painted was for Nena Beth in Alabama. I did her son's in tan crackle paint over a red base. Kimie, Andy's mom has liked that combination ever since. And so,...

And when you have had such a severe brain injury as Andy, you CLING to scripture with promises from God that He is in control. He knows what you are suffering, and He KNOWS the plan He has for your life. Nothing is a surprise to Him. We may not always understand, but God's plan is to prosper you, not harm you. That's for you, Andy Bee.

The cake I posted last time had a great deal of response. I ended up sending it to Avery who was turning 10. But, apparently, Mackensie is also having a special birthday coming up, and her aunt wanted a canvas to celebrate it and requested a little "bling".

Mackensie will be 30 in May. ANd please note all that silver glitter. It was FUN to make!

OK, last but not least, here are a couple of canvases for some sisters who are redoing their room. They have purple walls.

Apparently, they appreciate color like I do, because their mom also mentioned, "black, hot pink, tangerine, lime green, turquoise, and white.

I think I covered all the bases, don't you?!

Well, peeps. That's it for tonight! I have PICTURES on MY COMPUTER, in MY HOUSE, and LOTS OF THEM to choose from! Yiipppppeeeee!!!
