There are two reasons that I have been a delinquent blogger. Okay, so there’s probably fourteen reasons, but we’ll just stick to the two that I have proof of.
#1
Someone has replaced my sweet baby with this tailless monkey. It is entirely too clever, throws food & beverages, paints the kitchen floor with the thrown beverages, and climbs the gates that are meant to confine small creatures. When she doesn’t get her own way, she stomps her little monkey feet.
I mentioned yesterday that all I do is wipe up spills, change poopy diapers, and get my hair pulled. I am also the recipient of the best hugs that a monkey can give because they use their arms AND legs.

When my neighbor asked if I’d like to join her booth at our town’s Christmas event, I knew immediately that I wanted to try my hand at painting a couple canvases. I thought I could pump out a few cutie pie snowmen, but then I decided to start creating a border. Now this snowman painting is making me cranky. The black entered the scene after I made yet another mistake trying to paint peppermints. I didn’t like the red swirls, so I painted the whole candy red. Then I added buttons. By morning, I hated it and picked off the buttons and painted the section black. I have spent too much time for this painting to not hang proudly on my own wall. Yes, proudly… it might not be perfect, but it’s mine.
SO, if I do decide to sell anything at her booth, it will be a scaled down version of Frosty. It will probably cost $1 so that I don’t get my feelings hurt. Someone would buy him for a buck, right?
If I’m ever going to finish it, I best go… the black sections are getting snowflakes. Wish me happy thoughts!

I think the painting is adorable, and I’d like to see the finish product (hint, hint). Also, charge at least $5. Imagine how good that’ll make you feel.
I LURVE the little cup. Makes me want to coo at your canvas which is unbalanced, I know.
Your Monkey is waaaaay too cute.
Wow, that is one clever little Monkey! LOL! I love watching kids figure things like that out! (So long as they aren’t my kid! She must never figure that out…)
And I would totally pay $1 for a scaled down version of Frosty!!
I have a monkey, I have found him on top of his dresser, in my dryer, in the bathroom sink washing his legs…in all fairness I was monkey so it serves me right I suppose.
I love Frosty. I’m with Punk you could charge more than $1. Depending on the size of the canvas you could charge $3-5.
Wait til Monkey evolves to potty-training time. Oh, will the stories then ensue! (That’s where my monkey-girl and I are today.)
Please do charge more than $1 for Frosty. He’s very cute, despite his dark plots to steal your sanity. Snowflakes on the black – inspired!
Your monkey is one smart chicky!! LOL
$1?? You’ve got to be kidding me!! I would totally sell that for at least $5. It is too freakin’ cute!! I know what I’m making for the sisters-in-law this year. Thanks for the idea! *wink, wink*
Aloha!
Very cute..kids are so resourceful…they find what they need to get to where they want to go!
How ADORABLE!! Just you wait, it gets better
And I LOVE the snowman!!
I totally love the snowman…but the monkey, now her I would pay a million dollars for! I love you kiddo, keep up the creative work…it becomes you! You inspire me daily!
I think it is totally cute! I would pay a buck
No really- You could totally sell that!
Love that pic of the little monkey! You are in for it, girl!
Babycakes and the smow man are both ADORABLE!!! I think I need a closed look at both really soon. ~ Keep up the good work.
