Before I show you my canvas there are a few things I want you to know about Kelly. Kelly lives on a large farm in Minnesota with her husband Tom and five of her seven children. They also have cattle, horses, chickens, pigs, goats dogs, cats and three Llamas. They have had a particularly cold winter. When she called this morning I think she said it was ten degrees - brrrrrrrrrr. They are always covered in snow!
Bunches of snow!
I hope you can enlarge this to see some of the details. If not, got to Kelly's blog because she went crazy with her pictures. What a great idea, I need to learn to do that!!!
Now where in the world Kelly thinks I am a fancy lady I will never know. It's all I can do to remember to put on lipstick!!!! Here is Kelly's canvas to me!!!! Isn't it gorgeous!!
In my best day I was never this purty or dressed up!
Oh my goodness - I wish you could see all the pretty teeny tiny beads in her hair. Kelly very graciously not only made me thin but took away all my grey too!
Sure would like to know what you think of my new fantasy world - really, this is so much fun!!
Thanks for all your comments - come round to see me anytime!
Sandy

Hi Sandy, I love your canvas! It is absolutely gorgeous, your proportions look perfect to me and the canvas says everything you have told us about Kelly. You really are a clever girl with that paintbrush. Kelly's canvas is beautiful, really love all those beads in your hair too. Kelly has shown a beautiful lady and that is exactly what you are! Believe it... Hugs, Anne x

You and Kelly exchanged some precious art! Sand, you and Kelly are really getting into this art and I love it! Like I told Kelly, iron sharpens iron. WOWZERS this is fabulous! One day we have to have a family reunion!
Hugs, Cathy
You may not be fancy dancy right now but the beauty is still there my friend!! Those are your colors and that sassy hip just says I have attitude, for that we all love you.
Your canvas to me is the most beautiful ever! You set the seen correctly for our place, if only everything looked that perfect in real life. I love the warm, friendly, ordinary person you portrayed me as, I am. I love soft beautiful things and like you, I love the animals. But where are my 100 kids running around screaming for $$? lol You know they don't do that.
I love what you created for me and I can see the love you put into this, thank you from my heart!
Gigantic Hugs xoxoxo

Love the idea of exchanging those canvasses. I love both of them - commented earlier on Kelly,s blog. See... Sandy, I think you are a very couragous lady, cause I do not have the guts to do a canvas ...not yet. I just freeze in front of it. So I admire your guts ladies! and love the work you did. All beautiful Hugs. xoxo
Hi, Sandy! I saw both of these gorgeous canvases over on Kelly's blog! It's so nice to see them again here! They are both fabulous works of art, and I look forward to seeing much more from both of you!...Nancy :o)
Your canvas is beautiful... I love how you've told the 'story' - the snow, trees, all the animals, coffee... I really like it.
What an artistic pair the two of you are... amazing alone and super amazing together. I also really like Kelly's 'you' and those beads are fantastic.
I think you both did a fabulous job on your canvas creations. I admire you for doing this, I wouldn't know where to start. I love what you both did, shows you know each other well and did your art work accordingly. Great job!! I'm glad you've found something that you love to do.
I am LOVING your new addiction and your are SOOOO good at these canvasses.
Your one for Kelly is amazing and so personalised.
