Painting With Friends

Hello all!

It's Sunday evening. I am recuperating with a cold/sinus thing. Ick!  What better time to catch up on my blogging. 

I hope that Y'all will check out the latest e-patterns from the artists at "Painting With Friends."

I had to buy this one from Deb Antonick. 

Handpainted keys are all the rage! 

I will be painting up lots for the Holidays.

 The Santa's Magic Keys will be terrific as ornaments for your tree.

Click on the photos to see these cute designs.

There are patterns for all seasons. 

Lots of new Spring ones too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week!

I'm in Holiday Crafts Magazine! Woot!

Yeay, it's here! The Better Homes and Gardens "Holiday Crafts" magazine is out on newsstands now!

The cabinet door that I painted for Terrye French's "Painting With Friends," is on page 21. It has all the instructions on page 32 and, the pattern in the middle, of course. :) There are lots of other terrific crafts for the Holidays,too! I love the paper

houses!

This is the original piece. I had already 

sold it on Etsy.I painted 

a second one to send to BHandG.

We ran across the magazine quite by accident, as we were checking out at Wal Mart. Hubby saw it first. (Thank you, dear!) I had to buy at least 5 copies!  I was so excited that I had to show it to the cashier and the lady in line behind us! LoL!

In case you'd rather buy the e-pattern directly, and INstantly start painting, just head on over to the Painting With Friends site, OR my Etsy shop... Oakleaf Hollow Primitives.

I want to send a BIG Thank-You to Terrye French and the Painting With Friends Folks....also the sweet ladies over at Holiday Crafts magazine who helped me through the whole process! 

I am still on Cloud 9!!

Hugs to all!
