next thing

so this is the new thing i'm working on for etsy and for fundraising for my favorite animal shelter hopefully :)
i'm making greeting cards out of these little baby canvases btw

barn house

i'm really enjoying my new job at the art store. i've been learning custom framing which is so cool.
today i learned how to do brush stroking which is when they take a print of what was originally an oil or acyrilic painting and mimic the brush strokes of the artist with a gel medium. it's really cool. so i brush stroked the barn print and then did the fitting/framing of as well :)

cookbook

so my mom works at crate and barrel and she called a couple weeks ago asking if i knew who giada the cook was. i was like no i have no idea. so she was all excited because this famous cook giada was coming for a book signing to her store. she wanted to find someone who knew who she was so she could get a book signed for someone if they wanted. so i was like no i have no idea. so my mom said oh it's funny cause men always know who she is because she's very pretty.
so i get off the phone with her and tell corey oh my mom called talking about some cook who was coming to sign books and she was wanted to find someone who cared to get a book signed. i said her name was giada or something. and corey said "what?! i know who that is!" so i totally laughed at him and explained what my mom said about guys knowing who she was. so he said oh yeah it's true he used to watch her show all the time.
so i called my mom back and said she had to get a copy of her book and have it signed. so she said ok to both of us? and i said oh know have her sign it just to corey ;) lol
so today we got it in the mail.
totally awesome!
