love notes...

this little story was too sweet not to share...beware...it's a tear jerker....

in support of....

because i love my husband...and because he is really excited about his new ventures...i am being a supportive wife and doing a little bit of advertising....

we all know that billy has been on a painting/photography kick lately....well now he is posting his pieces for sale....

you can find his lovely art at.... imagekind....here is a small sample...

the husband calls me ridiculous...

ok, well, i call me ridiculous too...and maybe a tad bit obsessive compulsive...

i am currently in the process of repainting our living room for the third time since we moved in in September of 2007...and yes i do swatches...but a swatch vs. a whole room is a very different thing....so here i am...trying to see if this color will finally be the one that says home to me...and i am freaking out a little because i promised myself...and my poor husband...that this will be the last time....for a while....that this room sees a new coat of paint....so i have to like this color!!! and i have about ten different swatches up on the walls...all different walls mind you because the lighting in the lower level of our home is horrible and colors change dramatically throughout the day...and i can't decide if this is it! so my living room is a bit of a mess...and my walls are all splotchy...and i am afraid of myself...haha....so don't worry if you see our lights on at 2am....it wouldn't be the first time i have driven myself nuts over this little situation of ours.... :)

paint by number...

bb and i decided to bring out our creative sides..well, billy actually decided, but i have been wanting to do this for a while so i am really excited...tonight we went to hobby lobby and splurged a little on art supplies...we decided that we both wanted to try acrylic painting...just for a fun outlet...neither of us have extensive experience in this department :) but we figured why not have some fun and be creative....so here is our new art project...tonight we put together the little studio in bb's office....

hopefully things will be up and running soon and we will have some real projects to post...if nothing else we will definitely get a good laugh out of this little adventure! billy and i both are into modern/abstract art so we are hoping someday we can be like....
