I almost forgot to mention the cute little flower painting that I won last year

I am not a lucky person when it comes to winning things so I can't believe that I didn't mention this but I won a painting on line, last year.I was in the midst on the painting skates frenzy so with all that and Christmas, My Birthday and New Years, I completely forgot about it till I read Amy's post this morning.

Oh well, I hadn't been a big winner up till now but I got a nice painting and a free lotto ticket and 10 dollars so I was happy. Here is the link to Amy's site http://amytanathorn.com/

Notice that I printed the CoCo Channel one backwards, I forgot the reverse the image before I printed it. You have to do this with any lettering but in this case I think it looks cute. I then painted the 2 white canvases with a antiquing medi
