Well, these didn’t post in order. But above is a Christmas shot at our son’s house with all the grandkids! The youngest one is not into posing!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of my special friends came over and wrote scriptures and prayers on studs in my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a wonderful blessing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those words will always be there blessing us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the drywall is up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They’ve been taped and floated and texture is on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The interior doors are being hung. Trim is going up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When paint goes on the walls, I will be sooo happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s a process. A process I didn’t plan on at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one told us how hard this would be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People out of town always ask if we are back in our house, if life is back to normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are all so used to rapid recoveries. But, no, this is a difficult recovery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had flood insurance. So many didn’t. We were not supposed to flood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have friends that don’t have walls up yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep praying. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, the fireplace had to be torn down. Our firebox had to come out the front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most in my neighborhood did. So I get to design a new one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoping I will love it! None of this is fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s because of how we got here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just wanted to update my regulars that don’t see me on fb. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Happy Thanksgiving </span></b></i>to those of you in the USA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will be at my daughter’s. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so thankful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This could’ve been much worse. </div>

I'll try and share more later....... just wanted to drop by and say I am here and we are doing fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just going to be a long process to rebuild. But don't worry about us. We will be back and I'll be back in my art room with A LOT less stuff..... which is probably a good thing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pins above were made in a QB5 art pin swap many years ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They fell into the flood water and even tho they don't look too bad in this picture..... they were unsalvageable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I cherish the memories!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's what's important!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took another <a href="http://www.mistymawnart.com/">Misty Mawn</a> class a few months ago.... Make/Do Art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the assignments was to make a series of 25.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut watercolor paper into 5 x 5 pieces and started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the same paint colors as Misty did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme of mine is Amazing Grace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the pieces do not stand alone, but work with the group for a message.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God's amazing grace has been so evident in my life I wanted to celebrate it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with this art process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up hanging them in an art niche in my house that was empty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to do a lot of measurements and use actual math,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I got the nails hung so that I can later take</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these pieces of paper down and hang 5 x 5 canvases up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These pieces have Tim Holtz hangers on them that are taped to the back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Canvases will be hung just on the inside of the stretcher bars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've been reading my blog since the beginning, you may recognize some of the art work as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some of it was simply taken from existing pieces already. And some of the women I use repeatedly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in art. I realized one day that most successful artists reuse things, they don't reinvent the wheel every time they create.</div>

It was Memorial Day Weekend here in the USA and it was flooding in Houston..... again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've lived in my area since 1979........ in Houston since 1972...... and we certainly have some floods in Houston. 1994 was the worst I've seen in my neighborhood. This was not as bad as that. But it was bad enough. We had a river flowing down the golf course behind us. No land to be seen on Sunday</div>

I've gotten so I use the Blogger app on my phone to upload my pictures to my blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I forget that I did that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So these are a little late getting published.</div>

This is a picture of my knock-out roses a few weeks ago. I cut them all the way back and they came back great! The golf course looks good, too.</div>

And then ......... it rained in Houston...... A LOT!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And where I live didn't get the worst of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But...... that rain has to go somewhere and one of the places it ends up is in the San Jacinto River, which flows into Lake Houston and then to the Gulf of Mexico. I live close to the river and the lake.</div>

Spent a few days in the Texas "hill country" in early March. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shopped and dined in Gruene, TX (pronounced Green) a couple of days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a photo of DH and I in front of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruene_Hall">Gruene Hall.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I may have taken a picture of two inside on my phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll look and add if I did. (I didn't want to look like a tourist.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gruene Hall was built in 1878 and is the oldest continually run dance hall in Texas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's kinda special around here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the picture in b&w best. We look like original honkey tonkers.</div>

Misty Mawn is starting a new class in mid February!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you remember, she did Full Circle in 2014 and I loved it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've done several posts showing the Exploding Box and the Gesso Book from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I think you can search my blog for Misty Mawn Class and find them.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway....... the rate for the new class goes up next week, so you should look into this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking it, along with some of my friends!
Don't get left out!</div>

Thought I'd drop in here with a few pictures. Made a centerpiece for a fundraising event this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Each table will have one of these metal crowns that we've filled with different things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I put a paper mache house in this one. I cut a hole in the bottom of it and and in the top of the box that it sits on....... and stuck some little tiny lights inside.</div>
<br />

They are just wrapped around the top of the crown and lightly hot glued to each other. I also put some silver garland down in the crown base before I put the house in there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So........ last week I decided to paint an old plastic pumpkin that was in my fall decorating box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just used inexpensive acrylics. I did a white wash to begin and then did a few coats, drying between. I put a bit of old gold metallic on the stem, but it doesn't really show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I reallllly like it so much better now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got the gold orb at Target!</div>
