Tonight is the Holiday Christmas Exchange for the Pendergraph Women's Ministry, and I'm bringing my "paintings" as my gifts. Last year I brought these little sets of children's books, which were wonderful, but I decided to go a little more inexpensive and try to make my own thing. I really like my "paintings", but they don't stack up to those sets of books, in my opinion. Anyway, if you'd be so kind, let me know which one is your favorite! (if you like them at all).
This one is of Tom and Huck, so I made the theme "friends". I was pretty happy with the colors.
I loved this one with the 2 lambs. My friend is adopting 2 babies -- one boy and one girl -- and she took this home because of the little poem, as well as the color scheme! I admit, I thought of her while I was making it.
You might not be able to tell, but on this "N is for Nest" one, the chocolate colored N is 3-D, and really cute and thick. I tend to like the letter N.
This last one might be my favorite, because I like the colors. My sweet friend Jo is from England, and her little girls love horses, so she nabbed this one for them. Just what I was hoping for!
So cute, Gretchen! I like the N is for Nest the best! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the N one, I like the colors and the 3-d. it's probably my favorite. I really think the foal one is really cute too.

I forgot to say that the letters that spell "foal" are flocked. So, fuzzy, you know? I think that's another reason I like them.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the N one, too. Probably because I am in love with that shade of blue right now, but I'm not brave enough to paint a room that color because I think it's too trendy. Is that possible, to be too trendy?!? :)
ReplyDeleteGretchen,
ReplyDeleteI love them all. The friends one would be great in a boy's room, especially possibly brothers sharing a room. The flocked letters on the foal sound cute. Most girls love horses, I know Amanda did. What a lovely idea for inexpensive and creative gifts. Gifts from the heart are much better than gifts only from the pocketbook.

Great idea Gretchen! I should try something like that for Aaron's room. I still have the banner up that you made for his shower. :-) I guess at 5 months he has been sufficiently "welcomed".
ReplyDeleteOops I forgot our profile on blogger is Uncle and Auntie...sorry its Andrea
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cute idea, Gretchen. I may have to give this a try sometime!!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!! I was unaware that you could draw, paint, be an arTIST. I am impressed, my lady!! Hope you two are coming home for some holiday soon. Would love to see you. I really enjoy my time in the nursery with your mother. She has a lot of patience. I don't yet, but am learning. Fran

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to leave a note letting you know that I really enjoy your blog. I found it through SBC blogs in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your reading and your faith! I find you to be an inspiration.
Gret, those are so cute! I adore the lamb one too.....that Golden book is one of my favorites. The illustrations are heart-warming.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You are so creative!
I like the B!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very creative. I think it is a marvelous idea!
Gretchen! I didn't realize you had a blog. I love the "friends" picture. I will have to try my hand and this sometime!
ReplyDeleteP.S. This would be a great and inexpensive way to decorate a nursery!....I'm so happy for you and Josh! =)
