(UPDATE: This kit is now available for $5.98 at the Daisie Store. Just click on the picture to go there) I want to say a GIANT thank you to those who left me such great ideas to work on. All I need now is a clone to sit down and paint them all!!!! Alas, like you, I never have enough hours in my days to do all that is on my heart or in my mind.
This is the final preview for "Penguins at Play." There is a circular border that can be used to create altered paint cans or a fun cake plate liner. One of these years I’ll have to attempt a paint can set! It’s been on my list for a while but I never quite get to it 
!
My husband breaks camp today and heads home after three weeks in the Big Bear Lake area at the Slide and Grass Valley fires. He met a couple of really special people that are likely to become lifelong friends, one of which lost their own home in the fire (his second home burned to the ground in 7 years!!!!) We visited him at the camp this weekend and it is quite amazing the "instant city" that is built over night when these events occur.
I guess I’ll want to clean my house to welcome him home LOL!!! No more 12 hour days creating kits for Daisie for a while!!!
THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Peter 1:5-9 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. NIV
COMMENT: This is one of those verses that reminds me that it is a process to grow in my faith. It isnt magic or instant, but requires effort and practice. It also encourages me to think I can add these characteristics little by little, day by day and I will become productive and effective!
AJ, your Scriptures are always a blessing. Thank you 🙂
That is an excellent verse today! It will help to remind me of the paths that I need to take
Great verse. Cute set too!
Another cute set! (And welcome home to Hubby!!!)
I love the penguins… I gave a friend your blog site and she loves reading it but says “WOW you really know how to pack and punch, which we all need”
Thanks for that too… (I just send the punch along after He hits me with it first! LOL!!! Tell your friend Hi! and thanks so much for your friendship 🙂 AJ)
Luv the circle 😀 Luv the colors 😀 Luv the kit 😀
If you want to make a paint can kit, I would start with the quart size, then you don’t have to deal with wear to put the holes for handle 🙂
I love you verse for today also. Room for thought and growth.
Welcome home STEVE!!!!!!
Welcome home to your hubby….and thanks for the lovely and insightful verse…and the gorgeous preview of the penguin circle….I see a paint can….in somebody’s future. 🙂
This set would make a cute paint can. I would love to see some of your graphics in paint can sets. I love your work.
AJ, would love to see some of the circles that can be decoupaged onto the back of a clear glass plate. That way you see the pretty decoration but can still use the plate to put food on. I’m not sure but seems like most of the plates have a circle in the center with a little ring around that and then the round outside part. Might have to be done in 2 parts.
You’ve done yet another beautiful job, really love the new kit.
I’m happy to hear that hubby is arriving home safely. I think of you and your family often and keep you in my prayers, especially the for the safety of your husband. I’m sure you are really missing him and not sure how you manage while he’s gone but you are indeed strong person and an inspiration
Just love penquins. The colours are wonderful.
Welcome home to you DH. What joy.
My DS is also a fire fighter (My husband actually is in fire support services with a company called Expeditors and helps with the base camps at various fires or emergency events. He’s my hero, but he’s not as heroic as those who actually fight the fire :-)! AJ)
I love your penguins!
Audrey if you ever decide to have a creative team, I hope you would consider me first, cause I just love your stuff so much. Those penguins are to die for.
Once again you have outdone yourself. Not only with your art, but the Scripture verse for the day…I needed that one! Thanks.
What a super cute set!!
