luvs...what a beautiful sign..:)
Your are so talented, I love that folk art type of painting but I am not very good at it. You did an amazing job.

Luvs, that is so cute!! You have a big imagination, as my kids always say and you are a great painter.

Glad you all enjoyed seeing him. I love Renee Mullins designs, easy to paint and so cute. I like the quick, easy things best--not patient enough for the really detailed projects! I like to have a few pieces painted and ready for holiday decorating or for gift items.

I get in "moods" to do things--right now I am in a painting mood. Trying to use up some of my stash of T2T items I have stuffed in the shed. Need some of it out of the way so I can get to the Christmas boxes! LOL You should see how many metal trays I have stashed out there waiting to be painted! OMG! Guess I love the thrill of hunting for things as much or more than the actual painting/creating with them! LOL I NEED to get busy!

Luvs

Wow, that is a wonderful sign, you are just so talented!

Luvs, that is so cute! The little stars and and the birds are a perfect touch.

Beautiful Luvs!!! The birdies and the stars are so cute!!! You are 'da lady!!!!

Adorable!

Gosh, thanks everyone. It was a fun design to paint and fairly easy. So glad all of you enjoyed seeing it. I have so many cute patterns I'd love to paint, just need to get busy and do it! ;o) Luvs

Hi, I am new to this site and have been reading/looking at the threads in this forum. luvstocraft, you are very talented, I love your sign so much I think I will try one myself. I am enjoying this site so much, I can't get enough. I am so happy I found it! BTW....I am looking for a tole painting pattern of "Grinch and Christmas Tree" if anyone knows where I can find it....

Paintingmom, welcome to the forum. Lots of neat things and fun people here, I am sure you will enjoy it.

I responded to your question about the Grinch on the Painting forum, all I could suggest was a book or coloring book and enlarging the pic with projector. Hope that will work for you.

If you enjoy painting, be sure to check out the gallery section on the painting forum as well as the ones on the discussion side. And please add pics of your projects also.

That's such a smart thing to do-- to recycle others' not-so-effective thrifted art. I've seen plaques like the duck one you mentioned and never thought of the item that way.

Hi Jenn, it's just more of my "trash 2 treasure" mentality. And it's a cheap way to get some good wood pieces to paint on too! I always look at the cutouts and such, and watch for things like birdhouses too. Don't often find much that is really good. That's where having my scroll saw comes in handy. So what have you been finding lately? Guess I'd better head over to your blog and catch up. ;o) Luvs

Hi Luvs.... I saw a sign this weekend at a craft store, and you popped into my mind!!!! (LOL)
It was a longish rectangle, painted sky blue, with a smiling snowman on the left side and a fluff of snow across the bottom.
Lettered into the snow fluff was "Frosty and Me Welcome Thee"
I thought it was really cute!!

Hiya, Luvs!
I've been so busy with work lately, I haven't been thrifting too much. I did find a couple of Depression glass pieces not long ago-- one of which is this massive pink pressed glass vase which amuses me because from a distance it looks like a normal drinking goblet. Then you get close and realize it's about 18 inches high! That would be some beverage!

I've been trying to do another birdhouse windchime for someone. I'm not using silverware this time, but other kitchenalia. So we'll see how it goes.

Wishing everyone well in all their projects,
Jenn

Jaybird, that sounds like a cute sign. I love most anything with a snowman on it. However, I should confess that I am kinda picky about their faces! LOL I seen some that either the mouth or the eyes just bothered me. Picky, picky, I know. Do you have many craft type stores near you? We sure don't have many here anymore at all. There is a Harvest Festival coming soon that I hope to be able to go to. I like to see what's new and just enjoy the atmosphere.

Jenn, good luck on your windchime, can't wait for the pics. Your last one turned out really cute.
