it's funny because i grew up watching my mom work in the yard.  i ( Read more... )

this is what happens when i get in a candlelight painting frenzy at 1 am, powered by my ipod.  i was scared to look at it this morning because i had no idea how the colors would turn out and...needless to say i'm pleasantly surprised, because i never paint.  it looks better in person.
