Day 336

So last night YoungLife had an ugly Christmas sweater party, but Erika and I found ungly Christmas DRESSES instead and we totally rocked them!  And I wore bell earrings and it was great :)  And my earrings were dots!

Day 335

So my super talented swimmer Erin did another dot drawing but in color and I'm so jealous of her abilities!

Day 334

Isn't this dessert beautiful?  And it's really dotty and it was really good!

Day 333

Erika, me, and our YoungLife girls (Sarah and Lindsay) at the winter dance!  And Lindsay's dress is straight dots!

I finally put my sweet Ohio State shoelaces in my converses....and they look so awesome!

Day 331

Chili mac from Steak n Shake is the best!  And it is very dotty too!

Day 330

I absolutely love this!  I painted over a famous painting in just a few colors and then used a glass bead gel over the top and I think it looks awesome!

Day 329

For our team Christmas exchange, I creepily made a kid on the team a frame with pictures of his girlfriend as a kid...haha

Abby is a sweetheart and she made me a really awesome giant snowflake!!!

Day 324

Someone is getting a card!  And so I decorated the envelope for that someone!

Day 323

I love metallic paints.  And I love blues and purples.  And so I think this is pretty sweet.

Anna is the awesome diving coach and she made a dot project for the blog...

Day 308

We had an invite at WKU this weekend (my swimmers did really well!) so my posting is delayed....


On the first day, while waiting for desserts at Ruby Tuesday's, Merri (one of my swimmers) helped me with my artwork by making an A (for Aces) out of our dinner crumbs....

Day 307

This is what one of my swimmers doodled during a meeting....and I coach college swimmers...haha

Day 306

I'm really tired of the purple and orange color combo but for some reason I chose it today? 

Day 305

Random doodling with Sharpies....

Day 304

I used thread to sew on a canvas....and since it was looking a little country I left the border unfinished and added some washers.  I think I like it :)
