Ballet Slippers
For the past week I have been working on a really cute painting of ballet slippers. A friend custom ordered it to hang in her daughters room. She told me the walls were light purple. She also requested that her daughters name be painted on it. I am almost finished and it is super cute and I think the mom is going to love it! I'll post pictures soon!

Gobble Gobble!
I'm sure some people wonder why I chose the name "The Turkey Lurkey." My husband helps a lot with my new found hobby/business. He actually builds all of the birdhouses. Also anytime I need something measured, glued, or nailed he is there to help. He has a large turkey farm and I thought it would be neat to name my business after his. The term is used quite often in the south when someone acts silly, crazy and fun! I think it's cute and describes my work to a tee! What do you think?

New to Blogging
This is my first blog so bare with me. I'll start by telling you a little about myself and the purpose of this blog.
I am married and live with my husband in North Carolina. I will soon be finished with my teaching degree and hope to become a teacher in January 2012. I have always enjoyed painting and doing crafts and was interested in art in high school. In the last year I have really started painting a lot more. I started by drawing a picture for my house. I moved on to painting birdhouses and old furniture. I have started painting cute wooden signs to put in the house. I am really into the simple kind of art. I'm a big fan of flat art without a lot of demension. I like the whimsical look. I always use bright colors or black and white. I am selling my items and love doing custom orders. I would like to have my own store one day but that will have to wait for now. I hope you like my work and feel free to comment!
