Sketches + ideas
Paulette Insall
that’s how these sweet little girls came about. 
i’ve been meaning to get back to my digi stamp idea, but too many other things kept coming up. then today i had to find a way to satisfy my creative urge while staying in the same room with the kiddo to make sure he stayed still and resting (something very difficult for him, even when he’s sick he won’t stay still for long).
after a little facebook drive by on my phone from my spot next to him on the couch, i had my answer.
thankfully our scanner and printer are here in the same room, so i was able to scan and print out my drawing. then i grabbed some colored pencils, sat back down on the couch and went to work.
now to cut her out, grab some of my scrapbooking paper stash, and make a card for my son’s teacher for teacher appreciation week. 
i would LOVE to know what y’all think of this drawing! i’m thinking of going more this direction with my digi stamps and i could really use your input!
thanks bunches y’all!!! xoxo

New glass art pendants!
Paulette Insall
my new glass tile pendants are all finished! yea! the four large ones on the lower left are $29 each & the smaller 1″ square ones are $19 each. will come with a silver tone ball chain so they will be ready to wear when they arrive.
no time to list ‘em in the shop tonight, so if see one you want you can let me know here in the comments or email me and i’ll get in touch with ya.
the light isn’t great here in the kitchen right now, so this pic really doesn’t do them justice. will have better pics soon.
oh and also, i have listed some new art block prints in the shop. one already sold before i got the chance to post about them here, but i can make another for you….will take 5-7 days before it would be ready to ship. there are three still left that are ready to ship now as of this posting. makes a great mother’s day gift {which will be here before we know it}! oh and you now have the option to pay via credit card through my etsy shop instead of just with paypal.
happy friday to y’all! ♥ ♥ ♥ xoxo

Beautiful Mondays
Paulette Insall
i just discovered this wonderful contest {through one of my friends on facebook} that was held recently held by mont blanc.
~the beauty of a second~
it so perfectly fits with the story behind my work….i seek to celebrate not only the joy in life, but also the beauty that surrounds us and is within us. life is made up of moments…..and they’re gone in the blink of an eye. how do you choose to live?
….celebrating the beauty and joy?
yeah, me too ❤

Happy Friday!!!
Paulette Insall
Spending a little time at the park with Aiden and a friend of his from school. We actually had TWO nice sunny days in a row! Had to take advantage of it while we can. The rain is supposed to return tomorrow. I even took the pup for a walk earlier in between painting sessions. Hooray!
I just love it here when its sunny! The sky is just the most spectacular shade of blue!
Reminds me of the blue I’m using in my latest painting…
This is how it looked yesterday…don’t have a current pic in my phone to post {which is what I’m posting from at the moment}.
Well, Aiden is having trouble finding his friend {they are playing hide and seek and his buddy is a super good hider} and he wants some help. Have a fabulously fantastic weekend y’all! xoxo

All cleaned up ‘n ready to paint!
Paulette Insall
My studio was in chaos mode again, so I took time this afternoon to clean off my work table and move some clutter out of my studio (its just right next door in our living room so as to remind me I still need to do something with it).
I feel a studio purge coming on! What ever I find lurking that I haven’t used in the past year or so is gonna have to go…otherwise I won’t be able to move in here! Lol!
