Happy Monday and prayer’s and blessings to all impacted by the weather this past Friday. So sad to see all of the destruction and loss of life. It really does put much into perspective, especially at this time of year.
On the lighter side of today, we should all just count our blessings and be grateful for all that we have. On Father’s Day of this year our neighborhood was too hit by a tornado so it reminded me of how fragile life is…
I was just looking onAmazonto get some ideas for myChristmas list. I have to admit, I’m more of a Happy New Year person. I really don’t know why, but I do love the new year. Probably b/c I’m a planner girl and I don’t really get a plan until like now which is a little late. It’s still a great time of year though.
I came across one of the husband’s painting’s that I absolutely love, love, love <3 , so I thought I would post it for Monday’s Masterpiece…It’s Santa and his Christmas Mouse, Winston..
You can click on the link above and see more of the Artist amazing artwork…Still able to get the prints out before Christmas but do it soon. They make a great gift. Blessings Blogger Family wishing you all the best this Holiday Season, Happy Christmas and Merry Everything <3 …
I really don’t even have to say anything about this painting except it is one of my fav’s !!! The Artist painted it for me ( 😉 i.e. the husband ) It’s a cloudy, cold and rainy Monday but I have this beautiful painting to look at…I hope all of you had a great weekend and blessings on your week <3.
Remember any of the Artist painting’s can be purchased by contacting me or on our website Handmade by Amazon…
Good Monday morning <3 Hoping everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July…The Artist and me had a wonderful weekend…Road Trip out to our fav places from back in the day 😉
Happy 4th of July Weekend
Then on Sunday the 4th was a chill kind of day w/the Artist painting and me planning…Love, love, love to plan. Today will just be a reset kind of day where we keep wondering what day it is 😉 Does that happen to anyone else on these 3 day weekends ???
Flower’s in the Morning

I’m going topic off a bit. I usually concentrate on one of the Artist’s Masterpiece’s that he worked on over the weekend, but this weekend I took the Artist out for a treat. Actually it was his Christmas Present. For Christmas this past year I bought him tickets to Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in Chicago.
It was amazing !!! Just take a look and see for yourself 🙂 Much better live !!!
I got to take a few souvenirs home with me so that too was kind of exciting !!!
Vincent Van Gough
I just had to put up some music with this too. One of my Favorite songs of all time…
The artist had a really great time and so did I. I even saw a lot of Vincent Van Gogh Painting’s that looked a little familiar…Definitely a very deep, complex man.
The Potato Eater’sSunflowers
Okay I’ll share one more…He’s been a very busy painter !!!
Okay just one more b/c this was definitely at the show !!!
Looking forward to AtoZ which starts in a couple of days…April 1st to be exact. I got worried that I didn’t have enough art to make it through the AtoZ…Well I have plenty of art and then some. Really looking forward to sharing it with you. Check back on Wednesday where I’l have a bio on the Artist 😉 (Husband) . He really is very talented !!!
Happy Monday fellow blogger’s. I hope everyone had a great weekend. They do go by so fast though. Mine was really busy which is a good thing and the weather was really good !!!
Monday’s Masterpiece will always be the featured picture of the blog post, unless I change it. In that case, I will let you know… 😉 Today’s Monday’s Masterpiece is one of my favorites. The Artist (Husband) painted this one for me and had it framed. It is hanging in my Kitchen and I just love it. The title of it is, “Basket of Apples”.
The Artist was painting a lot this weekend. Here are a few of the images he is currently working on…
I bought myself some flowers this weekend and that always bring a smile to my face 🙂
Pretty Weekend Flowers
One more picture to share. I found the cousin picture that I was looking for. I did a post on St. Patrick’s Day of the 1st Cousin’s picture, then I found the later one where we are older <3 There were a lot of us…
1st Cousin Picture
I am one of four sister’s…We are on the end, stage left. Sister Liz is in the green dress, I’m down in front of Sister Liz, with my hand in my mouth…Sister Kay is to the left of me and Mary the oldest Sister has her hand around Sister Kay’s shoulder. We were close in age, only 4 years separating all of us from oldest Mary, to the youngest me…Let’s just say, high school was interesting for our dad.
2nd Cousin Picture/At the Farm/Family Reunioun
It was kind of fun this weekend b/c we were all trying to figure out who was who and what year it was. Kind of a, “Where’s Waldo,” game… The years do fly by. I’m in the middle with the pig tails and red/white/blue striped shirt and the girl directly in back of me is my oldest sister Mary, and the one right next to Mary (stage right) is my older sister Liz. Another one of my sister’s is all the way on the end (stage left) I guess you might think I was a theater mom 😉 and you’d be right. Kay was all in blue with kind of a wonky look on her face. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t smiling. When the cousin’s get together, we all talk about this picture and how glad we were that Aunt Patti made us take the picture..Two more cousins were born after the picture but we never got another one taken with all the cousins.
This week looks to be warmer and wetter and then maybe even some snow… I really hate March but I’ll take the couple of warmer days. At least we are getting closer to April <3 . I’m going to be setting up my new planner which I don’t have a name for her yet. I’ll probably be posting a lot about that. Also I am working on getting our site for #Elan Creations up and running again, definitely stay tuned for that.
Have a Happy Monday and a great week !!! Blessings Blogger’s <3 …
The snowstorm didn’t happen, at least not here…Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now Spring still has a shot at coming sooner rather than later. I missed Monday’s Masterpiece post yesterday but here I picked out a few of my favs <3 .

And the Tiger’s Come at Night

Yes, I am at around 273 follower’s on my blog. When I get between 275 and 280, I’ll start putting up the rules for my contest. The prize will be your choice of a print of any one of the Artist amazing painting’s. You could even start looking on our Amazon Homemade site for a print that you think you might want. The rules are pretty easy, just ask Melanie. It was a while ago so I’m not sure even if she’s the one who won our last contest. I think I will change the rules up a bit as to give my follower’s a chance at winning too !!!! Stay tuned, and keep checking out some of the Artist’s Monday Masterpiece’s that I have posted about on yes, Monday’s…Blessings <3 Blogger Family

Good Tuesday morning blogging family <3 Hope everyone had a great weekend. Our Chicago Blackhawks split the games this weekend. Patrick Kane got his 400th goal so that was fun to watch. Still no Toews though… Wonder what’s up with the Captain.
My rose did not make it through the snowstorm 🙁 The other one didn’t do much better either..
This was before the snowstorm and what it looked like through January …I think some music would fit nicely here…
My Yellow Rose
The painter finished his Potatoe Eater’s/Vincent Van Gogh’s…It turned out really well don’t you think 😉 ….
