Hee hee, I was planning on cheating and doing a bit of tracing, too! It's too cold to do anything like that here right now, but I love the idea of the little lady bugs and sprinkling them around town!

Don, your rocks are gorgeous... love it!!!

I will start tonight. The rocks are dry and will post pics as I go along... can't wait!

Love the kitty rock. It looks just like my Sabrina.

ok, here they are... I did the first layer so now my sister can do the turtles and lady bugs... also do some flowers for me... and I decided to paint some wood pieces I have to make other signs...

Off to a good start! Got some nice rocks there, too!

I am doing some research on the internet on this... goodness gracious people paint on everything... so amazing!!!
Gorgeous things too... oh I am inspired to look... but a bit intimidated...
I am off to the art store to get some colors... and some spray finishing stuff... wow ... I feel like I can do some simple houses for the turtle garden... maybe make some turtles to keep Cocoa company when is hot enough out for him to play!!!! I have to post pics on my blog of his garden... as well as our story....
That is Cocoa by the way!!!!

I love Cocoa! I had a turtle like that once. Your rocks are all set for the magic to begin, Kassia!

Don, i LOVE ALL OF YOUR ROCKS but especially the strawberries! What fun!

Everyone's rocks just rock! Couldn't resist saying that.

Here's one I received in a painted rock swap last year. Very cute, I think.



And here's one I painted. A simple design since I'm not really an artist by any means.
Don just might recognize this because I believe he has it at his house.

Beautiful!

Thanks, Vic. I do like painted rocks but don't paint them very often ... just have to be "in the mood" to do that, I guess.

I love my "Joy" rock.

Don

Thank you, Don. That's quite a compliment coming from an expert rock painter like you.

Don, you did an amazing job on those rocks!!

Tee, your joy rock is cute too.

ok, here goes my very first attempts... I asked my mom first so she was very supportive... thank God for my mom... we went to Michael's to get the finishing varnish... we had fun...

I decided to make a village... to attempt to paint Hobbit houses... oh well, I am not so sure I got it but....


I still need to apply the sealer/varnish... but it still a little wet... tomorrow some more ... actually I hope to get signs made also...

Tee, I love it... really cute house...

I need to scatter some stones with some words around my garden... sometimes I forget to have JOY when I have so many weeds to get rid of it!!!

Don, I also love the strawberries...

Cocoa is such a great pet... I love him... he lives right on my bedroom window and such a perfect pet... he knows me and comes to see me when I get close and eat from my hand... really a cutie...

Really cute, Kassia, I love the little orange house!

Love yours too, Don, amazing strawberries and adorable cat.

Sweet, Tee! Spread the Joy.

Thanks Sharon!!!

And of course, I've always loved Cocoa!

That's really good, Kassia. Stay with it and you'll just get better and better. I can't believe that's your first attempt!

Thanks, Sharon.
