Paint Party Friday....Watermelon Girl.....and a wonderful Birthday for my Mom lastnight.....

Happy Friday Everyone....

I just hosted a wonderful dinner for my Mom's Birthday Thursday night and it was a huge hit....we had a wonderful time enjoying all of the yummy treats I cooked up ....including this amazing homemade bread....it was fantastic....stay tuned because I will be making you all a super cool recipe card with my recipe!!!!

I even did a casual dinner set up using orange and birch bark....love these tones and colours!!!

My Mom had a blast and so did our munchkin....he always has us re-light the candles so he can make a wish too....Happiness......( I picked up two cakes...the small one...it was just too cute...and the chocolate one for all the chocolate lovers)

This week has been super busy with all kinds of stuff going on so I worked on this piece from one of my 10 Minute Warm ups....She popped into my head earlier this week....and I was inspired to get her all in colour for PPF this week....Hope you love her!!!

She is my Watermelon Girl.....and she is ready for a Long Weekend....how about you?

How was your week?

Happy Friday and Happy Creating Everyone....

10 Minute Warm up....Meet the Watermelon Girl.....

Hi Everyone....Happy Tuesday.....I was doodling away for my 10 Minute Warm Up and this little Watermelon Girl came to life....she even has a little pet mouse named Henry....he loves watermelon too!!!

The weather went from summer like temperatures around here to potential frost overnight....so I am happy that I didn't jump the gun and start planting early this year....like always I will wait till after the May long weekend to get my vegetable garden and flower gardens all planted!!!

In the mean time I think you may see some strange characters coming to life here on my blog.....so be sure to pop in everyday!!! I always love hearing from you.......and please.....

Join me..........................................


10 Minute Warm Up is about taking 10 minutes of your day to breathe, relax, open up your mind to possibilities and then create something....you can be inspired to sketch your coffee cup....something on your desk....your table....anything....try it....it is a great way to start the day....then pop back here and share it so we can all see and be inspired by each other!!! I have a linkie thing here so you can add your work any day of the week ....Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday....Sunday....so join me!!! won't you!

Happy Tuesday Everyone....and Happy Creating.....

Illustration Friday - Hollow

Hi Everyone....Yo know that feeling when you're at the beach all day...you are always hungry and your tummy always feels hollow ...empty...well Phoebe always feels that way too...but thankfully her Mom and Dad always bring a big watermelon to the beach and that seems to fill up that hollow feeling .....yummm!!!

Have a wonderful Friday and I hope most of you are heading to the beach ....

Hugs

Yummy Sketch of the Day - Watermelon and my potatoe flowers

Oh how I love watermelon...and we happen to have a mini one that tastes so delish....so to start off this spring like week...I decided to feature a nice juicy slice of the fruit....

It reminds me of summer and gathering together...

I think I may have been watching too much of Food Network as I started to make potatoe flowers for Brad...he loves these when I present them...

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Diana
