Hi girls....don't faint...2 days in a row...LOL

Gayle...I love your painting. Looks like the hills of Tennessee in the winter. I agree with everyone else, it takes a special person to do Hospice work. James' brother had hospice care before he died. When we got the news we both left work and went to his house. There was 4 Hospice caregivers there and a preacher. The preacher prayed over him and the caregivers sang "Amazing Grace". You could tell they loved him. It was the most touching site I had ever seen. You will be blessed!!

Sherry.....I agree with Gayle...NO resting with Wayne...LOL. Hope you are feeling better. I know you will support me, no matter what plan I am on. Love ya!!

This is my third day, and I've been totally OP.

Hope everyone is having a great Wendesday.

Hugs...deb

Gayle-It's gorgeous!! You are soooo talented!!

Sherry-You should take the rest of the week off from work and stay in bed!! BTW, I love your witch!

Great job of staying OP Deb!!! Thank you for complementing my mountains, I have only been to mountain country once and that was looking afar. Living out here on the plains, everything is level with not even a slight hill.

How you feeling Sher? Did you make sure to stay in bed by yourself??? remember, no hanky-panky until your better!

Shelley: Did Mike decide if he's staying in the air conditioning business?

Thank you for the kind words about Hospice. I can truly say that I feel so good giving my time to such a worthwhile organization. The man that just passed away had no family living close enough to visit, so my visits really made his day. He returned the favor by being such a kind hearted person. Even in his last days, he had concern for others and never complained about his situation. In fact, the last day I seen him, he told me he had been so blessed in his life, and he was happy to have had a good life.

Over the past few months, I've finally gotten brave enough to share some of my artwork with you and thank you all soooooo much for the complements and words of encouragement. I need to work on my confidence level and I think that will also reflect in my painting. Can you guys give me input on what I should price my paintings at?? Most will be 16"x20" on stretched canvas. Do you think they are good enough to sell at the craft show? Suggestions please!!!!!

hello all!
oh sherry im so sorry to hear your sick!
i had that once it was so awful.

this weather doesnt help either!

gayle,im sorry to hear bout your friend.
my prayers are with you!

im so grateful.

doni

Doni is that pumpkin picture cute. I just love it. I am glad that things are well with you.

Sherry did you go to work today? I hope that you stayed home. Thanks for sharing your weather with me. I can picture myself with you enjoying the outdoors. Yesterday we thought that it was nice here, it was 60. Warmer that normal so we will take it.

Gayle your pictures are definitely saleable. I don't know prices for canvas paintings so I can't help you with the pricing. You are realy developing that talent of yours.

Debbie maybe I can get you to post today.......I would like to know what you did for your parents 50th. Any ideas for me, when we through mom and dad's in spring? What about you Ramona do you have any ideas?

Shelley so what is Mike doing with his time? Does he help out around the house when he isn't working?

I know that I haven't posted any of my menus but I will tell you what I am making for supper. Tonight it is homemade French Onion Soup with a french bread that is fried and crandberry peach crisp. Yesterday we had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and peas, with mini raspberry cheese cakes. Two days before we had a chef salad and buns, with peanut butter cookies and day before we had ceasar salad with toasted bagels and there was dessert (my weakness) there always is dessert. Hope that gives you a few ideas.

Hey,

I went back to work today. I felt like I had so my work wouldn't pile up! I'm feeling some better today. I'm just so tired tonight. This will be a quickie because I must lay down soon.

Gayle,
Your painting is so beautiful!! You are so lucky to have such wonderful talent! Let me know what you decide about a price. I have no idea but I do know they will sell!!

Doni,
Loved your pumpkin with your name on it!!

To everyone else......I'll post more tomorrow night.

Hugs & Goodnight.........

hello girlfriends!

things are looking up here.
brians still in overtime and im getting things caught up.
that makes me feel better.

sherry,im glad your back to work and feeling better.

thanks on the compliment on my tag.
im getting lots of em now!

deb,the party sounded great.moms and are in there 48year.
so great you just dont hear of that much!
congrats to them.

everyone have a great day!
doni

Sherry: I'm glad your feeling a bit better. Try not to wear yourself out too much at work. Sit and rest when needed, everyone will understand. I'm thinking around 40-45 dollars on a 16x20 canvas, the person will need to purchase the frame. If I get my butt in gear, I can do one in a few hours.

Doni: Can you post a sample menu??? I'm not familiar with your plan.

I hope everyone is doing great today!!!

Debbie thanks for sharing the info about your mom and dad's anniversary. My mom and dad also got married by the justice of the peace. The party sounded really special.

Gayle the prices for your paintings sound really reasonable.

Hope you all have a great weekend. We are off to dinner to friends of ours that we met in Puerta Vallarta a couple of years ago. They just live across the river from us. Small world.

Sher...Glad your feeling better...take it easy still..
Gayle....WOW....WoW...WoW you are very talented lady....I wished i could paint like that... I am still a scrappin Gayle.


Everyone have a good wk/end...

Vickster

Vickster: Do you do the stamping too? A girl I know has earned a few cruises selling stamping supplies!!!!

Good Mornin'

I was really tired last night so I didn't post after work. We watched a movie and I fell asleep pretty early.

I'm feeling a lot better today but not completely well. I go back to the Dr. for a Xray on Monday at 3:00. I'll have to leave work a little early.

I hope everyone has a great OP weekend. We're going to Debbie's around 2:00. Looking forward to catching up with our chit-chat.

Shelley...I posted info about Flex Points on the Challenge Thread for you!

Where is Titan, Cheryl, Jennelle & Carol???? If you hear from them, Please tell them I miss them.

Take care....
HUGS!

Debbie-It is supposed to get cooler here by Wed. May a high of 82 at that time. With the time change, it was quite warm, but still nice out this morning when I ran.

Sherry-Thanks for the flex points answers. I started yesterday and did pretty good. Today I have already racked up 9AP's, so hopefully I won't have to use any flex points. Please take it easy today!!

Gayle-Your prices sound reasonable to me too, although I know nothing about prices on paintings. I bought some paintings with frames years ago from a man who painted afghan hounds (that was back when my Tasha, an afghan hound, was alive.) I paid $300.00 and $400.00 a piece for them, but he was supposedly a renowned artist among the doggie set. Also, someone in the mall painted a picture of me and Tasha and I paid $500.00 for that (it was in pastels.) Have you ever thought about painting pictures of people? The woman in the mall was always very busy. She did the paintings from photographs. I also had her paint a picture of my mom and dad for their 50th anniversary 16 years ago and paid $500.00 for that. Boy, I used to have money to burn, didn't I??? That was before children!! Anyway, you might give it some thought for later.
