Nora this was my recent paint by number..hardest one I have done...but it came out so pretty...so addicted

That’s gorgeous Julie. You are getting really good. Are you going to frame and hang?

Wouldn’t that be pretty in Parker’s new bathroom? Parker you need to start a paint by numbers.

Thanks Nora❣️

I thought the same thing but it is really big! 16x20 and not framed yet.

Wow Julie that paint by number is beautiful! You are really good at those amongst other things😊

Thanks Mary!🥰

Beautiful!! Nicely done Julie 🥳

Couldn't help but notice the beautiful paint by numbers. I've finished one, finally. Trouble is over the time it took, my acrylic paints dried out. So I bought a StayWet Palette and now that doesn't happen. A professional artist gave me that tip and it works great. Another tip if you don't work on yours regularly, cover it so the light doesn't fade the lines. This has happened with my second one and I had to go back and trace the lines by looking at the diagram that came with it. Ugh!

TerriTheresa...thank you...I am a bit obsessed with paint by numbers🤗....wow your paints dried out? That’s no fun!

I work on them everyday so the longest it has taken is about 3 weeks.

3 weeks is fast! here's my completed one. it's got a reflection because of the glass frame. I wanted it to look like an original. I even signed it. Lol!

Beautiful Julie!!!

Magnolia Market has certainly grown a lot since I was there last. Really cold here with lots of ice on the ground. 24* with wind chill of 14*. BRRRR.

So jealous. Even with the cold weather. Have an amazing time!!!

I am looking forward to another trip to a magnolia once the weather warms up..about 90 mins away...easy drive too..fun to hit the Czechoslovakia bakeries just before you get to Waco...yummy🥰

Have a blast Nora!!

I had a yummy red velvet cupcake from Magnolia Bakery. Now I’m miserable. Just walked the stairs at the hotel. Since I have been on Keto, anything like a cupcake just makes me feel terrible after, but oh so good while partaking.🤪

I know that feeling Nora! 😏 Territheresa - he is sooo cute! Beautiful painting!! 😁

It was worth it! Carry on 😉

Thanks Kjoy and yea, it was sooo worth it? I’ll probably gain 5 pounds this weekend but hey it’s our Anniversary 😝so there!

Definitely worth it Nora! Have fun😊

Happy Anniversary, Nora!! How many years? 💕

Thanks DD. 30years

Happy Anniversary, Nora and OH. Magnolia Market. . . is that the complex Joanna Gaines built in Waco? Hope you gain five pounds . . . that’s what you’re supposed to do. 😂😉😘

Happy Anniversary Nora! I hope you enjoy more desserts:)

Thanks Seajay. It took me over a year to shed 40 pounds... I think I might be ok, the cupcake and a muffin have been my only indulgences so far. Yes Seajay the huge complex that the Gaines built. It’s really spectacular. This was my third time and it has really grown since I was here last. They have done so much for the city of Waco. The weather is the pits.... Icy roads and now it’s starting to snow. Say a prayer for us going home tomorrow.
Thanks Printesa.

Happy Anniversary and Valentines Day Nora! And have a safe drive home!

Thanks GLS . Praying we have an uneventful return home.

Nora please be careful..black ice under snow everywhere...crazy out of all the weekends to travel to Waco!

Happy happy! Safe driving! Suppose to go down to 10 here tomorrow night. A damp chilly day and night. 36 right now which is bitter cold fir us! Leaving house for another “showing”. This is getting very old! But we are going to new house and I am measuring ceiling heights and checking on the painters. Fingers crossed. The owner/leader we met yesterday and he seemed very good. They are using angled hood brushes to cut in and this is method I prefer. Much faster, neater and better looking instead of days of taping! Wish us luck.

Thanks Julie and Flo. Yea Julie, of all weekends for the weather to be so foul. Flo, I am really excited for you and your new home. Showings are a royal pain in the tush. Have you started packing yet? Hope you can hire a good moving company.

Thanks Nora. Have great moving company with guys that have moved us numerous times! They are permanent employees so serious. Also really helpful and nice. Just got back from showing and went over to measure ceilings to make sure my big French Armoires will fit where I want them. Yippee all fit. S eel peak. Red dining room will soon be...wait for it BM Van Deusen Blue. Can’t wait. Painters doing a great job. Very professional! This is view when entering this neighborhood. 3 bronze horses romping in the lake. Hope you can zoom in to see this. They are lighted at night. It is really pretty. Praying you either stay where you are until road conditions improve or are very careful driving. Nothing to fool with.

Just got word our current landlord is expecting an offer tonite. This last couple was a second look and they weren’t here long. So probably just checking on some key measurements etc. Fingers crossed. No more “showings”.

Beautiful front door Flo. I know you’re really excited.

Safe travels home Nora. I would much rather drive on snow than ice . Be careful. How far of a drive is it to home?

Flo your new place is beautiful 😊

Hey Mary, under normal conditions about 6 hours. Tomorrow it’s anyone guess. Asking everyone to send up prayers for safe journey home.

Just zoomed in on the pond. Those horse sculptures are awesome. That’s a beautiful view.

Nora. If you guys have any hesitation, stay one more day. Please be safe. 🙏. I can’t stop thinking about that horrific accident in Ft. Worth.

I know Seajay. It’s in the back of my mind too.

Nora where do you live?

Little Rock area of Arkansas. Maumelle, Ar.

Flo. Got you in my sights that this will wind up tomorrow. The house looks lovely as does the community. Is the master on the first floor for OH? Van Deusen will be gorgeous. So happy for you guys.

Beautiful house and community Flo. Safe travels Nora!

Wow, 30 years 🥰 praying for safe travels!! Flo, what a beautiful home to decorate 🥳! Such a fun sneak peek!

what nice windows. looks open and airy. fun fun fun. so happy its working out!

Flo, I am wishing you the best! Your home will be so lovely! And I love the horses! They are so cool!

I've got the same question (if I can take it). I bought this kitchen and now I need to buy a table and chairs. In similar or in opposite colors. Can you advise me, please?)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone... I hope all of you had a nice day!

Congrats, Flo! Photos look fabulous! You must be excited...and greatly relieved!

Nora, having been caught on icy roads waaaaay too many times, I’ll add my encouragement to stay put until you have the all-clear. Happy Anniversary!

Great job on the paintings btw... :)

Yes Seajay, this house (on the way to being our next home) has master suite on main floor with my office also on main floor. Will have room for a bed in there too if needed down the road. So many cool features and spaces to put my “stuff” and room for big gatherings of kids and grandkids. I was nervous about my paint choice but OMG it is stunning! Have so many ideas I am popping with joy! Thanks for all your kind thoughts. It has really been great given the bumps we have had.
