Glass Canvas
My mom is a talented artist. The people she used to work for asked her to paint their business windows for the holidays and then more and more people asked her to paint their windows after seeing her amazing work! She told me about the process and I thought to myself, "Hey, maybe I could do that and make a few extra bucks!" So here I am. Practicing. And practicing. The most convenient times to work on this is when the kids are in bed for the night, obviously, so I've been spending some late nights painting this window. I wonder what the people that drive by think... Anyway, here's some of my practicing. I'm debating whether or not I should start asking businesses to let me paint their windows for Valentines day, despite my lack of experience. We'll see. I LOVE the process so far. Who doesn't love to doodle, and it's even 100 times better on a huge window. I feel like I'm doing something I shouldn't. Who paints their living room windows? It's been another outlet for my creative energy and very surprisingly therapeutic.

So cool Rachel!! I didn't know you were an artist too!
Ray-shell! How amazing are you? Seriously, this is so neat. I knew you were visually artistic, but this is fabulous! If I had a business front, I would want you to paint it! :)
Wow, I didn't know you could paint! I think your paintings look great! Maybe you could volunteer for a few things and then when your name gets around start charging. Looks like fun way to make money.
That's awesome! So cute! Hope you get some business!
