Congratulations Penelope!!!

I’m so excited for my 8 year old daughter Penelope… she put up a painting in a collaborative art show in Hartford a few weeks ago (which in itself is exciting – her first art show!) and SHE SOLD HER PAINTING!!! Her 5×5 chunky canvas of a crab using acrylics, oil pastels, and charcoal sold for $40. I’m so proud! he he

(Sorry I don’t have a better pic of the crab painting right now!)

Even before we found out she sold her painting, she was asking me to build a website for her to sell her paintings. Now I have to! lol Her website will be at www.SweetPeaArt.com . Please visit and sign up for her newsletter to be notified of the grand opening. :0)

I signed up for a small craft fair this November, and she has decided to help. So far she has made some really cute button bracelets and earrings, three paintings, and adorable little angel ornaments. She has more to sell than I do right now… I better get my butt moving! lol
