We've been busy brainstorming gift wrapping ideas for the holidays, and we recently came up with this lovely DIY gift bow. We used some gorgeous velvet ribbon from our store to create this adorable bow, which will probably be gracing all of our gifts this season. Check out our DIY below!
1. Cut three 10-inch strips of ribbon, then three 9-inch strips, then two 8-inch strips, and one 3-inch strip.
I’m so excited to have rediscovered colored pencil drawing. I haven’t worked with them in such a long time, too long actually. I’m going to do a couple more practice drawings before I start on a life portrait.
Have I ever mentioned how extremely blessed I am to have such a wonderful family that supports my having a few minutes to myself to do a little doodling? Yes! I know they are pretty Awesome!

I have art hanging in the art gallery of Home Sweet Home Gifts and Decor in White House, TN! If you’re local, stop by and take a look around.
Okay so, I’ve been teaching art for a little more than a month now to K5-6th grade and everyday with them is a new experience. I’m new to teaching and realize; I have a lot to learn.
My fist day…There were a few playing in glue. I had a 1st grader put glue in their hair. I’m teaching at a private school with a dress code. The little one had perfect school boy hair, before art class. After art class, he had Justin Biebers’ new messy spiky hair-do. Still cute, but not the hair his Mom sent him to school with. The next week, the same students playing in the glue, glued their hands together. Oh My!! I banned glue from use until I feel they can keep it on their artwork. Love it! They are so adorable!
