Paint, Paint, Paint

This weekend I finished up wedding party tee's for Miss Brittany Roland. She has 3 'lil ring bearers and a flower girl and she wanted me to paint them t-shirts.

Brittany's son, Brody, is turning 2 soon so I painted him a birthday shirt. Brittany said he is really into music right now...

Happy Birthday Brody!

A sweet family friend, Linda Miller, wanted me to paint Valentine onesies for her granddaughter's American Girl dolls, baby Rose and baby Caroline. How cute is that?!

Happy Valentines Day Miss Anna Grace!

Valentine

To me, Valentines Day has always been just another day. My husband and I are keeping our spending to a minimum so we promised each other no spending money on v day. Friday, I spent my morning getting groceries and oh my gosh Walmart was crazy with last minute valentine shoppers. I couldn't even get to the valentine cards because there were so many looking at them. SO, my mom suggested I make him a card. I surprised him friday night with chili (his request) and homemade chocolate covered strawberries (his favorite).

He woke up to homemade cinnamon buns baking away in the oven saturday morning and woke up this morning to his favorite candy, sour patch kids. All in all, my valentines day to him was very simple. BUT Mr. Billy McEntire went all out (for us anyway). I spent my saturday finishing up a few tee's and was told we had to be out the door by 5:15. I was told to wear a dress and nothing else. McEntire was decked out....he had on black slacks, a light purple button down shirt, and suspenders! He. was. smokin'. I drove us to our secret destination...shogun. I've never been to shogun (sad, I know) and oh my gosh it is sooo good. Sarah and Garland met us for dinner there, neither of us girls knew we were meeting up with each other. After dinner the boys surprised with DANCING!!! Billy even packed flats for me. We went up to Bella Vista and ballroom danced the night away...a perfect valentines day.

And I didn't take one single picture....ugh, I could punch myself.

One word: Jillian

Three posts in one day...this is big for me ha. Actually, I've been meaning to blog for a couple days now but haven't found the time to do it. Me and 2 girls in my community group Elizabeth-Bella's Life and Kara-Life in the Ville are doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Kara told me about it and when she said it was only 20 minutes I got pretty pumped. I like working out once it's over and when I see fast results. Ridiculous, I know, but I can't help it. I used to enjoy running but now I really can't stand it...tried P90X with the fam and lasted 4 weeks ha. But Jillian's workout is only 20 minutes and I literally walked without bending my knees the first morning after the workout because my calves were that sore. There are 3 levels and 3 intervals with each level. I'm still doing level 1 and just finished my 4th workout. It's 3 min. of strength, 2 of cardio, and 1 of abs. Level 1 is a lot easier now but I'm still trying to master interval 3 strength training so I haven't moved on to level 2. I upped my weights today and definitely felt like jello afterward. Our community group is planning a beach trip this summer so I'm praying that will keep me focused and disciplined and I'll be nice and toned for summer.

Everybody's workin' for the weekend

This weekend is going to be a busy one. Billy and I are going to Conway to see his family and celebrate his grandma's 85th birthday! Happy Birthday to Wilkie!! I got a text from Billy this morning and found out that his cousin Megan is in labor with baby Tyson. We're praying for a smooth and healthy delivery for you Megan...so exciting. I'm excited to watch Bianca and Jibran (niece & nephew) play basketball this weekend. I've only seen short clips of their games on my MIL's camera but from what I've seen and heard they are quite the balla's. Next week will be full of paintings I have to get done. My friend Brittany is getting married at the end of Feb and I'm painting tee's for the little one's in her wedding. A volunteer at Loving Choices (my work) has 4 precious little girls and I'm thrilled to paint tee's for them. Thanks Aimee! I'm also painting onesies for a family friend, Linda Miller. Her granddaughter, Anna Grace, has 2 American Girl dolls and Mrs. Linda is going to give her clothes for her dolls :) I thought that was just cutest idea. I'm totally pumped that Jolie Enfant is keeping me busy...thank you to everyone who has supported my mom and I!

Snow Day

I still feel like a kid when I hear snow is coming our way...I'm constantly watching the weather and asking Billy and my dad about the latest weather updates. I LOVE IT!  I've always thought it'd be sweet to be a meteorologist or a storm chaser but I never wanted to go through the schooling. Anyway, as most of you know, NWA had a big snow this past weekend and yes, I actually took pictures of it! (so bad at taking pictures)

Billy worked from home on Friday and I never work on Friday so I spent my day painting and baking. It was a wonderful way to spend my day.  I painted a frog and football for my Aunt Linda's neighbors...

Billy, Stone and I went to grandma's house in the country so we could ride Billy's fourwheeler in the snow. It's really sad how much I've changed as I've gotten older...I grew up on fourwheelers and dirt bikes (never drove just rode) and never got scared. But now I found myself asking Billy if it's easy to flip in snow...absolutely ridiculous. Even if it is easy to flip, I didn't have to be such a baby about because I like to think my husband sees me as his precious cargo and would never risk driving like a wild man haha. Anyway, I'm totally embarrassed now that I'm a wuss and I have a feeling it's just going to get worse when I have kiddos. I guess I'm going to have to accept that I won't be a cool mom ha.

My pride 'n joy

My MIL wanted me to paint a canvas for her friends birthday and I definitely find myself having a tough time painting on a canvas. Maybe it's because I'm used to cloth but I definitely think clothes are way easier to paint on.

Aunt Linda's baby gifts!!!!

Thank you, Aunt Linda, for ordering from us (Jolie Enfant). We certainly hope the recipients love our "stuff".....hope you like them, as well!!! If you want to add a name on the onesie, we certainly can do that....Happy Giving!!!!!
