Pinterest Challenge!
My post disappeard?!?!?? Here is what I could find…I was trying to edit and add in my “inspirations” guess I should have left well enough alone? Maybe I should name this one “Pinterest Pears” bahaha. Or not, that may only be funny to me…anyways, John & Sherry on Young House Love issued a “pinterest challenge” last Tuesday to encourage all of us who have been pinning away ideas to actually sit down and create one of our pins. So I have been painting furiously for the last several days, in between making just about every tomato base product you can think of storing away the massive amount of tomatoes my garden produced, changing diapers and a zillion other things I will not bore you with including cleaning up dog poo twice because I was so absorbed in painting I forgot to let Piper out and he is too snooty to warn you! I decided (obviously) to paint the pears I have been dreaming of forever! After purchasing a few from the grocery store and staging/shooting them until I got one I liked, I then referenced my “inspirations” and wah la, this is my version!!! It’s not quite finished since it didn’t have time to dry before glazing but I LOVE it!!! Thank you John and Sherry for hosting this and the motivation *bear hug*

My name is Julie, I love cowboy boots, food, art, and all things vintage. Married to Sean, a talented, hard working man (who can build anything I draw out for him) we have three children, two boys and a girl. I thank God every day, the ways He is revealed to me through them is astounding. My passion, the reason for this blog...developing the gifts God has given me, sharing what he lays on my heart through painting, and turning useless junk and forlorn furniture into something fabulous. 
Wow! So many details in this! It is gorgeous! Yay for you for taking on the challenge!!!!
That is gorgeous Julie! Love the green, it’s so fresh and spring-y looking. I halfway considered taking their challenge but was too lazy, now I’m wishing I had! Kudos to you!
