Janna Wilson:

Today was a happy HAPPY day. I asked for His guidance and the Lord blessed my path... thinking something wonderful is in store. Thank you Lord!!!

Good news on the college front...I'm getting to transfer to independent study on my Algebra class which is a wonderful bit of news!!! This equates to about a $500 tuition savings in the long run and me with three extra hours a week that I'm not sitting in a class both this semester and NEXT...praise the Lord again!

Projects for school have been pretty good so far...slow and steady (surprisingly). Here's a recent one...

As usual..this project (FOCUS) has a deeper meaning...I like how it turned out. I love the vintage dictionary print. The letters are constructed from cardboard/chipboard. This was for my 3D Design class.

Here's another...this is from my Typography class...where we had to create an illustrated capital. Fun project!

I know its been gone for a week now...but Valentine's Day was fun. I like to make it a special day for everyone in the family. So I made special treats for the kids that were waiting on them when they got home from school...

I broke out the crystal and red chargers...put paper doilies on and then white dishes for a festive table and we had spaghetti for dinner in the dining room! Very fun. We also had a special treat for dessert...raspberries and strawberries on angel food cake! YUMMY!

I designed some fun Valentines...and wrapped BIG candy bars with paper and the Valentines I made. Abby had a special Valentine...look what she got!

So gorgeous!!!! (the roses too ;)

Made this banner for someone local...super long HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Out for now...did you notice I added a new tab...Graphic Design! Coolio!

Well, I'm officially half way through my 30's. I'm okay with that. Even though...I still don't know EXACTLY where I'm going in this life...though I'm pretty certain I know where I'm going after :) I thought I might share 35 things-- random stuff -- lets see what happens.

1. Here's the road home to where I grew up...snowed over (Jenny will like this :)

2. I always ask for or make coconut cake for my birthday...though, these cupcakes were the bomb. Strawberry with dark chocolate filling :)

3. I went to a gallery opening tonight of one of my UAFS professors...I was impressed. Really.

4. I want to make art-- for some reason, I'm stuck in a rut.

5. Pinterest is my favorite new place online.

6. If I could do anything...I would be a print/pattern designer and create illustrations and designs for fabric and home decor...Janna Wilson for Target :)

7. I wish I had more time to create for the fun of it. But outside of my school schedule its slim pickens.

8. I love my husband's facial hair :) esp. a tidy goatee.

9. Right now I have 4 commissioned projects to do/in progress :) Paintings. Here's an in progress one...

10. I'm a bad friend. I get stuck in my life and don't contact the outside world.

11. If you don't already know...I love red and turquoise :)

12. I have quite a bit of art and illustration just waiting for a purpose --and for me to have the time to purpose it :)

13. I have purposed some of it...don't forget about these freebies from this post last year.

14. I love making heart art :)

15. We've had lots of snow in our neck of the woods!

16. I think my kids are super talented artists :)

17. I had lots of fun decorating for Cash's birthday on the cheap...this was a fun centerpiece (used plastic shot glasses from the Dollar Tree party section for individual candy serving.

18. I usually always make the family's birthday cakes...even though Cash wasn't impressed

19. He had an awesome party...

20. That birthday banner is still up in my dining room--Sara hung the streamers so we thought we'd try to keep it for future use (it was only a buck :).

21. I love moments like this...
