Ginger with Roses

17 years ago

I tried another ginger with roses and my roses were alot easier to paint this time. I will probably make a sign to hang above but don't know what it should say. Give me some ideas if you have any ok? Thanks

    What a cutie!! I love gingers. Your roses look so good. Glad they are coming easier for you. I need lots of practice before mine will look anywher near that good. ha

    The first thing that came to my mind for a sign was:

    Gingerbread Hugs
    &
    Christmas Wishes

    Have fun finding your perfect saying. =) ~Anj

    Anj, I like the gingerbread hugs, so thanks. Luthien, photobucket is very unpredictable. When I posted it could be enlarged and now it can't. I will try to post it again and see if that works.

    Oh good, I was able to enlarge the 2nd one you posted. Cute little gingy with those pretty long eyelashes. I like Anj's saying for it too. Luvs

    oohhh... i can see it now :) the roses are so soft and lovely and i adore the eyelashes on the ginger :)))) sorry... i'm never good at phrases... mine will come out too long!

  • 17 years ago

    Good Morning,
    Glad you like the ginger. I painted a santa with a ginger on one of my shutters and a snowman on the other. Luvs, if nothing else you've got me started on my shutters, so thank you. So happy you could both enlarge the 2nd pic.

    Glad I could motivate someone--it sure doesn't seem to hit me very often! LOL I can't wait to see what you painted on your shutters. I've got several patterns that I've been looking at and wanting to paint. Maybe I'll get one started tomorrow after my doctor appt. Luvs

    So Cute! Love the roses, any saying for the sign yet?

  • 17 years ago

    Luvs, you are great at motivating and are always here for all of us. Belle, I like Anj's saying Gingerbread hugs, so may go with that. Thanks for the rose comment, I'm trying. ha ha

  • 17 years ago

    Love it! I just want to reach down and get a great big hug!

  • 17 years ago

    Calirose, Thanks, Anj must of came up with the right saying Gingerbread hugs. What are you painting now? I am winding down for Christmas and doing more cleaning than painting. I don't want my guests to think all I do is paint. LOL I'm heading to do the rest of my shopping tomorrow. It's below zero here so it's hard to want to get out and do alot.

  • 17 years ago

    Makes you want to hug it right back. Gingerbread hugs is the right saying for it.

    Sorry it is so cold where you are, it is going to go from 77 degrees yesterday to 29 degrees tonight. BRRRRR, I hate the cold!!
