Smells like new shoes. {Paint Me a Picture Winner}


When I was around 8 or 9 I wanted a pair of high top Converse somethin BAD.
My Step-Mommy knew this.
So before I came for a summer trip to visit, so took her pregger self to the shoe store to get me a pair.
While there the new shoe smell was overwhelming for her.
So much so she got sick.
And she puked in the closest thing to her at the store, an ash tray.
Yes an ash tray in the shoe store.
So thinking about it maybe it was a combo deal.
New shoe smell plus *gag me* cig smoke.

But when I arrived that day, I found a pair of white Converse high tops that
had paint splatters all over them.
I was in love.
I slept in them, for reals straight up slept in them.

So when Buggie got a new pair of dress sandals for my cousin's upcoming wedding and I
found her wanting to wear them the minute she woke up or came home from school, I was not surprised. We do not wear shoes in our house. So this is a treat, until they go outside then thats where they will stay.

Sandals and socks. Sure why not. I did see it in the last J Crew catalog, maybe she saw it too.



She has style. And a ton of personality, just the way I like it.

And of course Bean could not get left behind. I might ruffle some feathers with this one BUT I can not stand dress shoes for little boys. Like CAN NOT stand them. So for the wedding he will be sporting so brown Chucks with his khaki's. So much cooler.

Paint Me a Picture WINNER!

Paint Me a Picture Giveaway (Mar 14th - Mar 20th}


Everyone Lindsay.
Lindsay everyone.

She is the painting fool behind Paint Me a Picture.
Here is a teeny teeny tiny bit about her.

I made the hall of fame in Kindergarten (the hall to the lunchroom)
where my art was displayed and since then have always enjoyed art.

In college I took an art history class that really inspired me to paint. I played around with painting for friends, and in 2008 I decided to start selling my work locally. In 2009 after my first son was born I opened my shop on Etsy and have loved selling my paintings online. When I am not chasing around my two year old, making my seven month old giggle, or spending time with Mr.Wonderful you will find me in my studio
a.k.a. my kitchen creating my art.

Yep, she is a crack up. And her work is just as fun and colorful as she is.

Who wants to win a $25 store cred to her shop?
{crowds of cheers call out from across the www}

Two ways to enter {comment once per entry below:
- Hop over to Paint Me a Picture, mark her as a fav and come back with
what you would spend your cred on...

good luck
