We were able to attend the opening night of the "Shadows" show at the Laura Moore art studio/gallery. Paige was invited to have one of her paintings in the show. Artists ranged from 10 to 77. Yes, Paige was the youngest artist. It was quite the honor!!!! People and artists from all over were invited to attend. When we arrived the room was packed! Laura Moore was so kind and greeted Paige with a huge smile and hug. Paige was given a pin to wear that said, "shadows artist." So everyone would know that Paige had a painting in the show. Initially, I think her painting was going to be kind of off to the side, since she was so young, but when Laura hung all the art work, she put Paige's right in the middle of everything. She said it just fit! The show runs for 4 weeks, so I'm sure we will be back to see it a few times! A big thank you to our friends that came and supported Paige on her big night. It meant so much to her that you were there!
Davey, your so awesome! You always make sure the kids know you love them and support all they do!! THANK YOU!
The night wouldn't have been complete if Paige didn't have little Maddie there. (and Jon and Danielle too, of course:) Thanks for coming and celebrating with us afterwards!
Kristi, since Paige was tiny you have continuously supported Paige in all she does...thank you for bringing your family to share the special night with Paige! Our Aweseome neighbors, Doug and Jeannie were also there.....somehow they sneaked out before I got a picture of them...thanks for coming - you guys are so thoughtful!
Paige, dad and I are so proud of you!!! Keep up the great work....we love your paintings and are so happy you have found something you LOVE to do!MORE PAINTING........
Rick and I have been wanting to paint our room for awhile. For Mothers Day, Rick gave me a card that said he would paint the room for me. It has taken so long because I couldn't decide what color to do....isn't that always the problem???? I was first thinking about blue, but couldn't find just the right shade, then tan, but thought that might be a bit boring....finally Paige and I decided on green! I'm pretty sure I could have bought all the paint with the money I spent for the samples I bought! Poor Rick had to live with about 10 different samples on the wall for the past couple of weeks!
As soon as the kids knew we were painting - they grabbed their brushes and were ready to go! They love writing their names on the wall and making designs! As much as I LOVE to have little helpers......we were ready to get the job done! 
The before picture!!!
The after picture!!!! I think it looks great! Thanks Rick and kids for helping get the job done!!

I love the room. It looks great. I'm the Loveless' are going to love the changes you've made to make that house your own.
You'll have to look at my blog to see Pierce's fingers from touching that light bulb.
It was so fun to see her painting.
Tell Paige Congrats!! Your room looks great, when are you going to come and do mine? ;0)
that is a perfect color green. Goes great with the bedding :) and Paige is so talented. We were going to take our scouts to see her work in the gallery, but Ethen got sick this week so we had to cancel. Maybe next week
