Today is my late parent's 61st wedding anniversary 💖💕 and I just wanted to mark the day here on my blog. I always asked them why the 13th!!! for a wedding and they simply said Daddy could get off of work on that day so the 13th and a Friday no less it was! That has always taught me the lesson of not believing in superstition...but I will create using that theme cause it is fun! I bought a Christmas cactus for their anniversary because we always had one or two or three in both our houses and sadly, I had neglected all of them and had none. So now we have these little beauty!
The cute trio flying through the snow was on my clipboard (real one, I don't know how to use a computer one 😋) since the summer and I cannot remember who the artist is!! If you know would you leave that info in the comments below? Just some simple colored pencil coloring and some papers from a mini set I bought years ago and all done! And those gardening friends out there may notice I haven't repotted the plant yet...that is cause I wanted to see it bloom one time before I subject it to my green??? thumb!
And last of all, I painted this painting in acrylics in 2017 in memory of my parents, who both passed away in 2016. It is from a tutorial by the awesome artist Ginger Cook on Youtube. I personalized it with the sign "P & J's Store" for my Daddy and Mama, Pat and Joe. I won't apologize for being as old as I am and saying mama and daddy cause I am a southern belle and that's how we do it. I added my name on another sign. It was really a part of my healing process and though not perfect at all I do treasure it! We used to travel little backroads enjoying the sights like little stores and antique or junk shops!
