love it!!!

Luvs,
That's adorable. Your stuff gets cuter all the time. It would be darling on the wooden hinged lid of one of those woven picnic baskets.
Where do you get your ideas?
You're right about the heat. I'm worried they're going to ration water here in our area. My lawn will need all of two days to turn brown!

Luvs, this is so adorable, and I love the sentiment. You do such wonderful projects. - Gail

That is precious!

luvs ... great painting...so cute...will be wonderful on your gate! Not sleepy...so I'm just lurking a bit! Jeanne S.

That is just totally delightful. I love the little bears, bet our friend Kirk would go nuts over this! LOL.

It was 102 here today. I am SO not ready for this kind of heat!!!! But luckily by end of weekend we will drop down to normal of mid 80s. A slight reprieve before H--L hits here full force. If I'm going to get the garage cleaned and organized, I better get busy and soon before it turns into an oven on me.

hugs, Karen

Luvs, how adorable! "Luv" the bears with the fruit and the cute saying. That sign would look good anywhere! I can't believe it is so hot for you already....DH busted up the last of the snow on our front lawn this morning!

DD

Thought I'd look in here one more time before I head to bed.

Minnie, I'm glad you like it--it was fun to paint. ;o)

Jeannespines, it's great to see you over here! Hope you are enjoying checking out some of the great pics these gals (and our Jim) post--they are very creative and have some of the prettiest dishes and decorations.

OA, I am so afraid we will have water rationing too. I was so thankful for every rain we had, but wish we could have had more. Strange how some parts of the country get way too much and flood and other places get too little. I was sure shocked when the weather report said we were going to 100 degrees already weren't you? Thanks for looking at my little sign, I'm going to start watching for those picnic type baskets at YS and TS, I think the tops would be fun to paint. I found this design in one of my painting magazines, it's a Laurie Speltz design.

Gail, thank you for your sweet comment. I really liked the saying on this one too.

Hi Karen, I hadn't watched the weather map but figured you were hot too. I'm sure we will cool down again soon too--at least I sure hope so! I think these bears are not "manly" enough for our friend Kirk--but he probably would have liked the one I painted on my neighbors metal tub.

DD, I'm sure you are tired of the snow by now, do you get hot during the summer months? We don't usually get this hot until July/August at least. We really had some cold weather for us this year too--never know what to expect I guess. Glad you liked the little sign.

Luvs

So precious!!! You can really paint girl. You are good.

susie

Adorable Luvs... You are so talented. I can see that hanging on an outside gate.
I'm looking for some summer heat..but not what you're experiencing.. Ouch!!

jane

That is the cutest sign..I love it!
It has been raining here for 3 days!!!
My little garden Gnome is wondering if he can get across the moat! :)
Notice the deer have already nibbled the hosta that is just popping out!
I guess no one is ever happy!

Cute plate and great talent! I tried taking up painting once. . . it didn't work out real well!

Try to stay cool in the heat!

Thanks for the wishes for relief from the heat--they worked, our temps are back down into the 70's again and we might even get more rain! Yipee!

Kathleen, your flower beds look so neat. What's your secret for keeping the grass out of them? I have mine lined with rocks and the grass still creeps into them! Maybe those deer just think they are helping you with the pruning! ;o)

Susie, Jane and Sharee, thanks for your sweet comments. I just love to look at painted items and I get so excited when I find something I think I can paint--it's another sickness like our dish obsession I think! LOL

Luvs

Luvs, that is soooo cute!! And I love OA's idea to display the sign. Your paintings just keep getting better.

Kathleen, you do have such a nice looking flower bed. Like Luvs, I am always fighting grass getting into the beds! And I dont even need a deer to ruin my hostas - I stepped on one when I was trying to get the soaker hose to co-operate! :(

Mo

Thanks, Mo. Where have you been and whatcha been up to? Are you getting to be outside more now? Hope so. Luvs

Luvs,
I have just been busy getting ready for my family visiting, and then playing with the baby and now cleaning up and recovering. We had some surprisingly good weather last two weekends so I have gotten most of my spring gardening stuff done.

You guys in california have the best weather for gardening though!
