Amanda you were right when you kept saying that the scanner wasn't doing the beautiy of hte jars any good. Now that you have the digital camera we can really enjoy your wonderful work. You certainly are quite talented. Do you give lessons? ;-)
It had been awhile since I had gotten to post or to see what new jars you had. I could never choose which onw I like the best but your new angel and frogs are sure neat. Thankyou for being so wiling to share your talent with us. I do not know where you find the time to do all you accomplish each day with you family activities and managing this web site. I have a hard time just getting dress most days let alone getting any crafts done.
I have been trying to come up with the time and ideas to get things ready for my sister's boutique in November. With so many living in this little house right now I am so limited on room to work and there is no place I can leave things out to work on a little at a time. I really need to use up some of the material that I already have on hand so guess the first step needs to be go through and see just what I do have. sure need to get busy on this
This is the first year she has had a boutique in about 6 years. She had one in her home for 20 years but that became too much and she ended it 6 years ago. This year she is having it in the recreaction hall of the retirement community that our Mother lives in. The area is quite exculcive even though the community is not that fancy (just super nice place to live
) I sure wish I was closer to her to be a bigger help but the plannes are that I will help by being in charge of the money and sales stations. Along with the crafts I manage to get done. she is concerned right now because she is having trouble getting in contact with enough quiality crafters that are still in the area and are interested in participating. I am just sure that once the word gets out that she is in business again. oops sorry to get started jabbering like that but I am excited about her doing this again. Anyone know any really good crafters in the San Jose, Ca area?
May you walk with God all day.

Of course, I can't imagine how you maintain your wonderful website, e-newsletters, have 4 children and dh to take care of, paint all these jars, do other crafts besides, etc., etc.
But you certainly have a talent, and from your craft instructions on this website, I would say you have a gift for teaching also. I am sure there are lots of people in your area sho would love to learn how to paint from you. Maybe after your craft room is done, you could have group lessons for a few people at a time!
You know? I will be there this weekend. We are taking care of their farm while they're away.....sooo.....I could maybe get him to snap a pic for me. 
jar crafts
Anyhow, I want to say Amanda you are truly blessed with a talent!!! I love all of them. I can't pick a favorite because they are all wonderful. You have truly inspired me. I was wondering what size candle holders do you use to put on top? And where do you get them?
