Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes,
Art is knowing which ones to keep

Do you remember when???

I remember sitting at the counter back in my skinnier days (early teens).  They had the best burgers in town and served them with a 6 ounce bottle of coke - and then a few peanuts to drop in your coke to watch it fizz.  I found this picture recently and it brought back such sweet memories I just had to share with you.  If you remember you are probably smiling right now.

November Paint In

Our meeting is coming up soon and I have a few items I thought you would be interested in, especially our newer painters.  Margaret has been generous enough to add a few painting pointers to our blog - so be on the look out as she (and others are invited to join in) shares her painting knowledge.  We can all benefit from the many years we have accumulated tips and techniques - we never stop learning in our painting world.  So for now I will add it to this post but in the future you will see it listed under tips and techniques.  I just have to figure out how to set up the page. 

I will be teaching another Santa in November.  I will post a picture this weekend so you will have a whole week to find something to paint on.  Then the first Satruday in December I will host our annual member Christmas Party at my house.  I always love having everyone over where we can eat, drink (non-alcoholic) and open presents.  So much fun.  But now I have to get with my sister because she borrowed my reindeer I got last year and has yet to return it!!

Ok, now check out the heading above this post where it says ' Home - Minutes - Tips and Techniques - Painting Websites - Click on any of the above and it will take you to the pages I mentioned before.  I will be adding more as they come in - also I will set them up in a better format - but it is early in the morning and I haven't even had coffee or Dr. P.

PS - I don't know why it shows up twice - I will try to correct that!!
