I am alive! and Color of Summer!

Where does the time go? I feel like I am in the middle of a whirlwind and life is just swirling around me.. nothing much changes.. work.. sleep.. hang out with the girls when ever possible..and here they are.. taken last week when I babysat them both for the first time... all by myself!! Went well... but was I tired...lol
We're just getting ready to leave for Chaya's ballet recital... too cute.. Tierney's just having a little catnap so she can watch it too...lol
Not alot of painting going on.. have been doing some orders and Quilling on a couple of wedding invitation orders .. here's the one that is finished and on it's way ...Thanks Les for blurring the names so I could post it..

For the past week or so I have been seeing all the beautiful art being posted for this years Color of Summer challenge... I so enjoyed it last year.. not sure that I will be able to keep up.. but it sure felt good to make some art ... so here's my art for the Rainbow Sherbert week one...it's done on a small canvas.. I love this saying..
So this is my challenge.. to make one piece of art a week and to do a post as well... lol doesn't sound that difficult does it? 
Hope everyone is doing well.. I have missed all of you and what you've been up to... hope to catch up little by little...
Have a loverly day and a wonderful weekend.. off to get ready for work....
Kath

    Oh I so get where you are coming from about at least making something. Felt like I was in a drought for the longest time.

    Love your rainbow though and the saying is fab.

    Oh my look at those girls. How sweet. Chaya is growing like a weed, Tierney will be right behind her in no time.
    Love your take on the SOC12 as well. What a great idea and love that quote.
    Take care and oh that invitation is beautiful. Calla's look so real.

    Hi, Kathy!! It's so good to hear from you, I hope all has been going well on your end of things!!

    The girls are both so adorable - Tierney is such a cutie-pie, and Chaya is getting to be such a big girl! ;) She looks about the same age as my cousin Ellamae, who is at a really fun stage - she actually carries on little conversations with us now, and understands when we play games. It's so much fun - I bet you have a blast with Chaya, and with Tierney!

    That wedding invitation is gorgeous, and that's fabulous that you're doing the Color of Summer again! A post a week sounds like a good plan, too. :) Good luck with your challenge - I'm sending HUGS! <3

      Thanks Taylor.. good to hear from you too.. it's going well.. busy.. Chaya will be 4 in sept.. you're right..they are super fun at this age...Tierney is starting to chit chat all the time too now.. and big smiles..
      Glad you like the invitation.. I am pleased with it as well... lol the challenge seems so small written down.. but need everyone of those hugs... big hugs to you too.. have missed you..xx

      Yeah, Ellamae just turned three, so they're close to the same age. :) So cute! And the challenge sounds like a good idea to me. Blogging can be time consuming, but once a week definitely sounds manageable! Hope it works well for you, and that you're able to work on your art as well! Hugs!

    I ADORE this Katie! From the quote to the way you worked the rainbow in, perfect. I'm off to work on Mint Chocolate chip (not as much of a hurrier as some.) :O)
