My Artwork

One of the things I love to do in my spare time, (not much of it), is paint! A fellow blogger/friend inspired me to put some of my artwork on a post. While in Newnan, I painted the kids rooms all kinds of colorful ways. So of course before we sold the house there, I had to do some major repainting to neutral colors. I was a little sad when I went in and had to paint over some of the rooms, as the paint job(s) were "presents" to the kids. Both for #1's and #2's tenth birthday, I did their rooms as a surprise. They each told me the colors they liked, but I did the rest--and they couldn't see it until the job was completely done. So naturally, I had grown a little sentimental.

I took some pictures of the rooms before I painted over them, so I will share them with you. This will make me feel better, as I didn't really know what I would do with these pictures...I just knew I wanted to keep the memories.

Of course, here in Rome, it's like I have all these clean canvases called walls. I have only had time to do one back wall so far,(#3 wanted a monkey theme, so I did a mural) but there will be more to come as things start to settle. (Most likely after the summer months).



Update on hubby: He's waiting on blood test results, but doc did seem to think it was Lymes disease. Said it would be the first reported case in Floyd County, which excited the doctor. In the meantime, I thought he could take antibiotics, but no...not until the test results are back...so hubby is really feeling pretty bad. Hopefully, he'll hear something by this Thursday and can then start meds.
